Description
Learn to take the heat off in critical situations.
The skill of de-escalating requires careful customer and team communication, paired with a healthy sense of urgency and importance. The choice of the communication channel, the sense of right timing, the controlled increase of business pressure and the corresponding formulations are at the core of our workshop which aims at delivery and solutions, not damage or blame. Escalation interventions are aimed at solving issues and resolving bottleneck situations before productivity is hampered and morale is affected. In this workshop, you will dive deep into the dynamics of escalation, and learn how to boil the situation down again.
