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.
