http://www.zanebenefits.com/blog/how-to-handle-workplace-conflict-the-dos-and-donts and
familiarize yourself with the tips for managing workplace conflict. 
Write a ½ page explanation of how you would handle scenarios.  Alternatively, you may
describe a different “difficult people” issue you have encountered in real life and explain how
you managed it. 

 You have a coworker who tries to be funny by making jokes at your expense.  He
thinks it’s humorous, but you find it offensive.  You have indirectly indicated that you
don’t like the jokes.  He thinks he remedies the situation by saying, “I was just kidding!”
and the uncomfortable jokes continue.  
 You have a coworker who constantly drops by your office to chat for long periods of
time.  It wastes your time and interferes with your work.  She is a nice, likable person,
and you don’t want to hurt her feelings.  You have tried to hint to her that you don’t
have time to talk, but it doesn’t work.
 You are assigned to train/coach a new employee, but she is convinced she doesn’t
need your help.  She frequently misses appointments with you and doesn’t seem to
listen to what you have to say or follow your advice.  

With the first scenario I would talk with him in a safe place, and i would say with calm and directly
that the joke he es making I don’t like and he is making me feel uncomfortable also that please
respect my petition, if he don't I would take actions like speak with our boss.

With the second scenario, my first action is set a policy for conversation, to promote a productive
workplace and eliminate actions unnecessary during work, perhaps there is a time to have a
conversation during work time but create a policy it could help to reduce long time of
conversations it would better.

With the third scenario, there is many ways to solve this, but it depends. I would talk to her about
not complying, I cannot certify that she has taken the course or training properly and I do not want
to affect her trajectory. However, we would establish her goals with mine and find a way that they
can combine, and we can both reach our agreement.
