Hi! It was a two days training session on – “Importance of Attitude & Behavior for successful Life” for workmen in a reputed industry in area of Bhind Murena (India) which is known for dacoits – Chambal Ghati. Before starting the session, HR manager suggested not to indulge in any sort of arguments with participants because some of the participants have bullying nature.
As a general practice, the company nominates few participants who are notorious. When I started my session they incited nuisance by asking baseless questions, queries and commenting on replies etc.
It was awkward; I thought for a moment and turned on 180 degree angle. I asked them to come to dais and say few lines on Attitude & Behavior. They were all dazzled as speaking within the group might be easy but in front of group is the most difficult part. They started looking at each other’s face and got frightened because of pinpointing.
Eventually, my session went smoothly and even those bullies started to take interest in a positive manner.
So, I learnt the lesson that tricks and tactics are important to deal with such bully participants.

Dear Aim Training & Consultancy,
Your presence of mind and savoir faire to handle the unwieldy participants is laudable. If you had buckled under the wayward behavior of the participants, possibly the training session would have failed, and it could have emboldened the participants to repeat their behavior. Trainers, in general, are trained to handle urbane participants. However, occasionally, a few participants who are boorish or high-handed find their way into the classroom and derive sinister pleasure in derailing the session.
Even in normal circumstances, a few participants start unwanted arguments in the training, and handling such participants becomes a challenge. However, yours was a far more serious case than those types of participants. Still, you did not allow a few oddballs to hold the training session in ransom.
You deserve additional appreciation for sharing your real-life experience. The training or consulting community does not necessarily use this forum to share their experiences. Rather, they use it to promote their business or seek advice from others. In contrast, what you have done is to reveal the actual sequence of events that had taken place. Kudos to you!
All the best!
