Telephone conflict management training

Authority with kindness

How to communicate to different types of citizens in a targeted way to avoid conflict

To provide a good service over the phone and create a good experience for both yourself and the citizen, you need to have a good understanding of behavioral and reaction patterns, as well as be sharp at conversation management and constructive handling of conflicts and challenges.

This course is for those of you who need to strengthen your skills, or refresh your knowledge, in telephone counseling so you can create a safe, comfortable and solution-oriented experience for the customer every time.

One of the things that sets us apart as humans is our different behavioral patterns and defense mechanisms. Our defense mechanisms are at play in our daily lives and unfold in every conceivable situation, and naturally more so when we experience an escalating conflict. We use these mechanisms to explain and defend our positions, actions and feelings. And when we don't feel met, understood and heard, we try to make ourselves clearer to the recipient - and then the conflict starts. By becoming more aware of our own and others' defense mechanisms, we better understand how conflicts arise and find it easier to understand and tolerate people's motives. In this way, we can more easily de-escalate a conflict and decode what the citizen really means by what they say and do.
