The Tactical Communication Workshop
A manager who delivers feedback too bluntly might lose your best employee. A supervisor who can’t de-escalate an upset guest will hurt your reputation. These miscommunications are costly, but we have proven tools to help your team avoid these mistakes.
In this 3-hour virtual workshop, your team will master the four pillars of crucial communication:
Critical Feedback
Use the CARE framework to deliver critical feedback so that the employee hears the truth and takes action instead of getting defensive.
De-Escalation
Discover the logic/emotion teeter-totter, a mental model for de-escalating upset guests before they hit “post” on a 1-star review.
Building Trust
Learn the “FBI method” of tactical mirroring: repeating key phrases to build instant empathy and uncover the real issue they’re facing.
Active Listening
Unlock the power of active listening. Instead of jumping to wrong conclusions, stay present and get the full story from employees and customers.
