COMMUNICATING WITH IMPACT (4 hours)
This foundational course provides individuals with a powerful set of
interaction skills that enables them to communicate more effectively
with colleagues and customers and, in the process, build trust,
strengthen partnerships, and achieve desired results.
TAKING THE HEAT (4 hours)
Organizations need to provide superior customer service in order to build
customer loyalty and stay ahead of the competition. Service providers, quite
often, know how to have a friendly, positive customer interaction but lack the
skills to handle an interaction that takes a turn for the worse. This course
equips learners with an important skill set that is essential to providing
high-quality customer service. These essential skills will help service
providers turn dissatisfied, upset customers into satisfied, loyal ones.
NAVIGATING BEYOND CONFLICT (4 hours)
The differences people bring to the workplace can promote tremendous creativity
and innovation. Those same differences can also contribute to misunderstandings,
which can lead to discord and if left unresolved, dispute. In this course,
individual performers learn how to recognize the warning signs of conflict and
take action to prevent situations from escalating or to work out the conflict if
it does escalate. This allows them to mitigate any negative impact, thus
reducing the cost of conflict and improving business results.
ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING (4 hours)
Creating and maintaining a healthy attitude is imperative to
the success of an individual as well as an entire organization. A positive
environment can increase productivity and improve morale, quality, customer
satisfaction, etc. However, at any given time, there can be individuals or
groups of individuals who delight in depositing their negativity here and there.
If not detected and eliminated quickly, this attitude can spread throughout the
organization with alarming speed. This program will provide participants with
the tools to recognize when there is an attitude problem and the steps necessary
to correct it.
