In times of crisis, people are in reaction mode. They work more from “fight vs. flight” than by using reason. When we serve these customers, we need to respond appropriately and help them to achieve emotional control so that we can work to solve problems. In this interactive online class, you will learn the tools needed to get yourself in emotional control. You will also learn why people react on emotion and tools to help them get back in control, too. Attendees will be able to: Focus on others to project a UB4ME, customer-centered attitude; Empower people with respect (acknowledging) and control (offering choices); and Understand customers better and develop emotionally-intelligent methods for managing their fears and reactions. Register for this class and you will be sent ONLINE login instructions prior to the class date.

We all know people are quick to judge – in fact neuroscience research suggests that it takes less than a second for first impressions to be made. Crucial skills need developing to establish credibility and make the impact you want, based on who you are and what is important to you. Despite our best efforts, sometimes a work relationship or situation becomes challenging – what then? You need to be assertive to get things back on track. There is an art to doing this well and feeling proud of yourself for making your voice heard in the right way.

What important conversations are your team members avoiding? Side-stepping difficult conversations can trap a team in unresolved problems, strained relationships, and missed chances for growth, which blocks progress and cultivates a lack of trust. But many people avoid difficult conversations or handle them poorly because they’re afraid to address uncomfortable issues and feel unprepared to respond to the emotional reactions that inevitably arise. Navigating Difficult Conversations: Turn Tension Into Progress takes a targeted approach to helping people to manage emotional tension and conduct conversations in a way that enables all parties to stay engaged in collaborative dialogue. Participants will shift their mindset from fearing and avoiding difficult conversations to seeing them as the way to make progress on important issues. And they’ll develop the skills to build trust and respect in every relationship as they navigate sensitive topics. Who Should Attend? This programme is for anyone who finds the thought if having a challenging or difficult conversation, something to be very nervous of, even to the point of avoiding the issue. We recommend that participants have first attended our Aspire programmes, Management Essentials and Performance Coaching, as they provide a strong foundation to the topic, which this session then builds upon. In Navigating Difficult Conversations participants will discover how to balance Courage and Consideration throughout the conversation by: Sharing their Purpose—the issue they need to make progress on—and Positive Intent—how they want the other person to benefit from the conversation Responding to emotional reactions using the skills: Pause, Don’t Panic Observe, Don’t Judge Ask, Don’t Assume Outcomes This module will help participants: Create a strong foundation for difficult conversations by setting a clear and collaborative tone that balances their own and others’ needs. Understand that emotional reactions are a natural, human response—and notice them as a signal that the conversation needs an adjustment to stay on track. Practice a range of tactics to respond in the moment to help everyone stay engaged and make progress.
