De-escalating Customer and Clients
Dealing with tense or challenging situations is part of the reality in customer service and client-facing roles — but knowing how to respond can make all the difference.
In this workshop, participants will learn a simple and effective model for de-escalation, understand the roots of emotional reactions, and develop active listening skills to defuse situations before they escalate further.
Participants will leave with:
- A clear step-by-step de-escalation plan
- Helpful phrases and language to use with upset clients or customers
- A ready-to-use script for handling verbal abuse
- Strategies for managing threats or violence when de-escalation fails
Perfect for anyone who deals with the public and wants to feel more confident, calm, and in control — no matter what the day brings.
Can be an online or in-person workshop — 2 hours
