Confrontation Management - Basic

​

Interacting with frustrated, aggressive or unstable people can be a shocking and scary experience if you are unprepared.  This course helps your staff develop the skills and confidence to better address these situations and prevent a challenging situation from becoming a critical incident.  Avoiding confrontation is as much a cultural change as an operational tactic.
