This is a clasroom course, over one day.


Managing people can be a rewarding but also challenging experience. But quite often, as a manager, you find yourself in a situation where you have to manage not just the situation but also the emotional input of the people involved.


Managed well, these moments can have a positive outcome. But managed poorly or ignored they can be disastrous for staff morale and effectiveness. In this interactive course we look at some tools and techniques that you can adapt to tour own managerial situation. Content includes:

  • Different types of human behavior

  • The stimulus and response mechanism

  • Recognising the warning signs of challenging scenarios

  • Understanding others’ perceptions and expectations

  • Choosing the correct initial response

  • The importance of listening skills

  • Techniques for defusing arguments

  • Keeping calm and confident

  • Giving positive criticism and getting feedback

  • The importance of formal support mechanisms and regular supervision and what to check for



This training is available as in-house or online training for your own staff
