De-escalating Difficult Situations

Wednesday, March 13, 2023, 1pm - 3pm

https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_-BlNv0anRTaBHhbSgylcHA

 REGISTRATION CLOSES TUESDAY EVENING, Mar 12, 10PM ET

 

Municipal clerks will learn strategies for navigating difficult situations by learning  how to manage challenges and setbacks for positive outcomes.  You will learn skills and techniques in responding to four typical difficult types of behavior including anger, hostility and foul language. You will learn a common model for problem solving with definitive steps to help mitigate a tough situation.   Specifically, we will look at the advantages of note taking in stressful moments, when to provide additional resources, and how to successfully close the loop on a charged request. We will look at how to engage with residents to acknowledge they are fully heard as one way of defusing conflict. For practical take-aways, we will discuss actual municipal clerk scenarios typical to the the day to day issues and situations specific to the clerk world.  During the webinar, you will be invited to share de-escalation strategies you have used that worked well so that other clerks may benefit.

1 CMC Education or 1 MMC Education point granted with a passing score (70%) on the assessment. After completing the webinar, you will receive a link to the assessment via email. With a passing score, you will automatically receive a certificate via e-mail instantly. There are unlimited retakes.
