We’ve trained over a million enforcement officers, security, military and correctional professionals how to de-escalate potentially violent situations verbally.
We do business with people. When there is a problem, the right words keep valuable clients. The wrong words lose them.
Learn techniques to skillfully handle classroom disruptions with poise and professionalism.
In healthcare, if you do not have the right skills for dealing with interpersonal conflict you will be less effective with your patients and limit your professional opportunities.
