                          June Monthly Event

                Guest speaker: Gerry Hoeffner

                Communications and Conflict
                       in a Tough  Economy 

Event Description:

Much of our day is filled with individuals who are either complaining
about something or in conflict with someone. It is a never ending
routine. But in a tough economy, their complaints are much more
personal, and to them their concerns threaten their basic security.
In a tough economy, “It is Personal”.

Unfortunately, we have spent the last decade training our
management teams to avoid personaldiscussions. While our
employees expect management to understand their feelings, we
have trained our management teams to avoid them. As a result,
many professionals do not handle these complaints well, leading
to even more complaints, conflict and yes, the possibility of a legal
battle.

In this fun and entertaining program we will discuss the mechanics
of communications, what causes conflict and how to deal with
angry employees and customers. In this program you will learn
how to improve communication skills, listening skills and
demonstrate empathy with all those who are adapting to the
challenges of a tough economy.

In this program you will discover:

- How people communicate feelings
- How to respond to those feelings
- How to avoid common causes of conflict
- How to build a more professional response to angry individuals
- How to move past the emotions
