Event Description
Recorded on 1/24/24

No one wants to deal with difficult patrons, yet you will inevitably encounter one or two unreasonable people. In Calm Challenging Patrons, you'll convert negative interactions into positive outcomes by implementing the six-step model. This practical system is the same one that Mj developed to manage demanding corporate clients, giving her the nickname of The Clean-Up Crew because she could calm angry customers.

The A.L.E. technique unlocks the "why" behind the patrons' behaviors and emotions. You'll get suggestions to incorporate key verbal and non-verbal communication strategies to defuse conflicts, meet the patrons' needs, and improve relationships. With the Calm Challenging Patrons' step-by-step model, you'll navigate challenging interactions confidently and easily by applying the tools provided.

Learning Objectives:
  •     Understand the common cause of challenging patrons' behaviors and how to de-escalate them effectively.
  •     Use the A.L.E. technique to understand the other person's perspective.
  •     Develop effective communication strategies through the six-step model to resolve conflicts and build a stronger rapport with your patrons.
