Do You Face Difficult/Hostile Parents & Members of The Public? 
Announcing Our New Books Written For Teachers, Administrators, Trustees, and School Staff. 
Ordering Information

Educational staff have to deal with all manner of hostile and angry remarks. It's not fair, but it comes with the territory. When hostile and volatile situations occur, YOUR behaviour is going to dictate whether the conversations escalate, or whether they cool down so that something positive and constructive can happen. The thing is, most people haven't had a chance to learn the defusing hostility skills to bring about positive outcomes.  

To address the needs of education staff, we are proud to announce two books that will teach you specific things you can DO to cool down volatile situations, and build bridges with parents and members of the public.  

Defusing Hostile/Volatile Situations (For Educational Personnel) is chock full of specific techniques, and also explains why people act in hostile ways. It is based on extensive research, and follows the content of our seminars on this subject. Weighing in at 184 pages, it walks you through the defusing process, and teaches you the "uncommon skills of defusing".  

Defusing Hostile/Volatile Situations Workbook (For Educational Personnel) is the companion workbook. Sixty pages of exercises and assignments help you practice the skills you have learned, so that you can develop the advanced skills you need. After you complete each of the exercises, you can compare your answers to the ones supplied.
