Dealing with Emotional People Training Course

Dealing with Emotional People workshops help communicate empathy when someone is in an emotional state. This course was designed by an organisational psychologist specifically for Australian workplaces.

When people are accessing the emotional part of their brain, they may not be able to process information rationally, So you’ll need a different approach. Emotional people might also see an authority figure as part of the problem which intensifies the emotions.

Having conversations with emotional people in difficult situations is sometimes rewarding and sometimes not. These people can get confused and frustrated. They can vent their anger at an authority whom they perceive as a barrier. This course helps participants deflect anger and set boundaries to reach outcomes.
