The Nine Types of Difficult People: How to spot them and quickly improve working relationships
Hi, I’m Nick Robinson. In my early twenties I won my large employer’s national development programme. It was a big deal and my ‘prize’ was a significant promotion to an operational leadership job. I was almost out of my depth, just about hanging-in there for a few years, coming home late at night, falling straight asleep still dressed in my suit and coat. I made plenty of mistakes!
But I felt absolutely, brilliantly alive.
I became fascinated by how people organise, prioritise and decide to work together on complex tasks. By what makes individuals and teams fulfilled and sustained.
Later, I became even more fascinated by those times when things aren’t easy, smooth or harmonious at work – and how we deal with that.
I now work as an Executive Coach, championing people who are facing a really demanding situation at work. Or who have somehow become ‘difficult’ in the eyes of others and need some championing of their own.

Talking with Angels of Light
Amanda Hart is a mum of 3 who discovered she was very different to other children during her childhood. This in itself helped her to survive a dire upbringing when taken from her mother by her father. She was invisible behind the veil of a middle class family hiding a very dark secret. Through challenging life conditions she discovered her path in life.
Amanda has been an Intuitive Consultant for over 20 years, helping people to access their power and voice. Clients have often reached Amanda as a last port of call where they’ve discovered their purpose and potential. She was diagnosed with meningococcal septicaemia and near death was told by doctors she would not survive. ‘The Guys Upstairs,’ not only showed her how to heal herself but how to access the blueprint of our best self to live our destiny.
Amanda was nominated to go on ‘Britain’s Psychic Challenge’ hosted by Trisha Goddard to find the top psychics in the country, which was on Channel 5 in 2005/2006. She was then asked to present her own radio show, The Soul Searching Show on My Spirit Radio, writing all her own material and interviewing experts in the Mind, Body and Spirit Field. Her passion for writing led her to then become a columnist for Soul & Spirit Magazine.
It was whilst at My Spirit Radio she was asked to write her memoirs because of her extraordinary life experiences. 5 years later, Amanda finally succumbed when a secondary condition from the Meningitis stopped her in her tracks from working and she finally resigned herself to sitting down and writing her book.
Her memoirs, The Guys Upstairs, are a remarkable account of how against all odds she found the key to unlock us all from our negative programs and how we all have the power within us to do that. Today this book and the campaign behind it to raise awareness, speaks volumes about the kind of determined commitment she has to make this a better world to live in.
Amanda lives with her children in Suffolk, and is now writing two further books and finally honouring her dream to leave a legacy in this world.
