Calm Under Pressure

The first conversation is often the hardest one

School officers, front office and student services staff carry the conversations no one else sees. The anxious parent at pick-up, the frustrated enrolment enquiry, the call that starts calm and doesn’t stay that way. 

National psychosocial hazard codes of practice (SafeWork Australia and state regulators) now name aggression from students, parents and the public as a recognised workplace hazard for staff in front-facing roles.

This session brings together WunderTraining’s Difficult Conversations™ and Positively World Class Service™ methodologies, mapped to the real conversations your non-teaching staff have every day. Interactive throughout, closing with role-play built from your own front desk and phones.

” We get what we accept.
