Show the interviewer that you work well with most personalities even though you recognize there are some folks out there who are quite difficult to please.
Think about that one person at work who is seen as hard to please. Perhaps there is someone at work who tries to intimidate others. Talk to the interviewer about what made this person challenging and what their relationship was with you. Avoid speaking poorly of anyone and be sure to end your response on a positive note.

"I once worked at a small medical facility where the primary physician was very demanding. When he would walk into the facility, employees would quietly announce that he was in the building, so that everyone could be prepared for his arrival. This physician had great intentions; however, his people skills were a little rough. I could see that he meant well, and I recognized that he wanted to do a lot of good things. When we interacted, I always took his feedback with the understanding that he didn't mean things as harshly as he might say them."

I worked with a person who was my trainer, she would always find things that I did that were not correct. I would
politely say I would be careful, and make a mental note to do so.
Marcie's Feedback
So your trainer was challenging at times because she frequently critiqued you. Did she do so in an unkind manner? Was her feedback warranted? Provide more details about exactly what you were dealing with and why it made things difficult for you. Then go into what you did to interact in a positive way with this person. (Examples might include always remaining respectful, professional, and calm, in addition to actively listening and trying to understand her point of view.)
