It focuses on developing a service-oriented mindset, explains techniques for de-escalation, and offers guidance on steering difficult conversations back on track.

Schwierige Kund:innen: Herausfordernde Situationen souverän meistern

Tough Customers: Navigating Challenging Situations with Confidence 

The current global situation is worrying: In the face of the omnipresent climate crisis, financial crises, social and political unrest, technology and information overload, we need to find our bearings and take action. How can this be achieved? This training provides strategies for successfully dealing with ambiguity and uncertainty. It highlights the aspects of mental agility, self-awareness, emotional awareness and situational awareness. Mental agility makes it possible to accept uncertainty and react flexibly to new situations. Self-knowledge opens up the space to reflect on one's own values and convictions in order to better understand one's own reactions. Control over strong emotions prevents impulsive actions. This allows situations to be realistically analyzed and appropriate decisions to be made.
