Course Description:

Sometimes we are so worried about getting our jobs done fast, we short change our daily communications. We end up with a misunderstanding and/or a broken relationship that takes us more time to repair than if we had taken the time to communicate effectively in the first place. This highly interactive workshop focuses on building collegial and customer relationships through a simple five-step method for communicating effectively and professionally.

What participants are saying:

Great emphasis on customer satisfaction without creating a major stress level for the city employee.”

I learned a lot of good tools that help improve customer service while maintaining integrity in the process.

This training is core to what we need to master, customer service without getting emotionally hijacked and getting the job done!
