Handling Difficult Conversations & Situations
-
The psychological effects are obvious. Consequences on health, anxiety, stress, absence, even from seasoned housing professionals can only make things worse – for both the individuals and the organisation’s business ambitions. Even office-based staff are feeling threatened by persistent harassment from people in reception areas and offices.
We can all point to possible issues that stimulate this unwelcome attention. Social housing is a stressful business at the best of times. Add layers of changes to income and availability and the recipe becomes more vulnerable – even toxic.
Mark Wingfield is delivering a very practical course specifically designed to provide techniques and experiences to handle the worst consequences.
Participants will leave empowered with the confidence and an immediate increase in ability to handle the simplest of complaints to the most challenging of abuse.
What have others obtained from the course?- The ability to psyche yourself up to do specific things/telephone
