VERBAL SELF DEFENCE OUTLINE
These one day workshops are primarily aimed at training commercial
and public sector organisations staff in the strategies needed to
successfully manage a verbally aggressive and potentially physically
aggressive client. This training is ideal for any service oriented
staff who come into regular contact with members of the public.
However the strategies taught apply to all verbally aggressive encounters
outside the service environment so individuals who are not part
of these environments will still benefit from this workshop.
When not handled correctly these situations can escalate
and become physical. Managing verbal confrontations can be very
challenging often leading to elevated stress levels for staff members.
The aim of the training is to defuse such interactions before they
become overly aggressive and assist in reducing the stress levels
of staff by providing them the tools to deal with these difficult
situations.
The outline for the one day workshop is given below. The emphasis
is on understanding the nature of aggression and what are our standard
ways of reacting. We then move on to look at a defusing process
that facilitates the de-escalation of a hostile conversation to
the point at which effective problem solving can be achieved.
