You're at the front line of service delivery. It may seem that you can do little to respond to angry and abusive clients and customers. But you can! This half day seminar shows you key principles and strategies to defuse clients' and customers' anger and reduce abusive behaviour right from the start. It also assists you to reduce your own stress levels.

Emotions can play a strong and constructive role in individual thought, decision-making and in handling of relationships. It’s not a question of taking an emotional or an intellectual approach – we show how you can do both. Intelligent recognition and acceptance of your emotions, and other people’s, is the aim. Learning from this process is the goal.

Adolescence can be a difficult path for many young people as they attempt to find their own identity in an ever changing and challenging world. Teachers of high-school students and others who work with teenagers can play an important part in assisting them through this tumultuous period. As a teacher, mentor or leader you can facilitate significant positive change in the lives of young people by supporting them to develop a healthy self esteem.

This course is useful for both personal development and professionals working in this field.
