Practical Strategies for Managing Passerby Aggression

Not every aggressive interaction requires the same response. Sometimes a short, professional response can help defuse tension. In other situations, ignoring a provocative comment or disengaging completely may be the safer and more effective option.

The course explores these different situations and helps employees make better decisions under pressure. Participants practise staying calm rather than responding reactively and learn how to avoid being pulled into “bait and battle” interactions where an individual may deliberately be attempting to provoke a response.

Employees who regularly encounter challenging members of the community may also benefit from our Dealing with Difficult People Training Course, which explores behavioural boundaries, staying composed, defusing tension, and responding rather than reacting.

This unique course covers the critical skills that contract managers need including consultation advocacy, influence, negotiation and conflict resolution which are critical to the role. The course does not cover sourcing, tendering or writing contracts as it is assumed that the participants already have these skills.

This course was designed as a reflection and action workshop for the contract management team. What’s working well? What could be improved?…

So imagine the difference if your people could keep the chairperson, magistrate, or judge more engaged. Imagine the impact of re-framing apparently dull information into more appealing and powerful bite sized pieces. Magistrates and judges react very favourably to well planned and delivered information. This course also gives some tremendous insights into the psychology of influencing, persuasion and confidence building techniques.

After attending this course, your people will be more confident presenting information in formal settings. This new-found confidence does make a significant difference, and you’ll find that your team will achieve better outcomes

Dr Marny Lishman crated an amazing space that not only was open, safe and caring, but gave insight into many different aspects of resilience. She apprieciated different perspectives and opened discussions that were supported and wise. The presentation was targeted and had the perfect balance of knowledge and reflection. I would encourage this workshop for any team, especially those preparing of have gone through organisational change!
