How to Handle Hostility Gracefully

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 14, 2019 8:35


Do you find yourself getting defensive when a client is upset with you, or when someone expresses hostility? Learn to handle hostility in a way that avoids defensiveness and nurtures your client relationships. When confronted with a client who is expressing hostility, always reflect what you have heard, verbatim if possible, in a neutral tone. Apologize if there is something to apologize for. Answer the question if there is one. Only after having done these steps, make a transition into your perspective.

The Importance of Preparation

Do you just "wing it" before an important presentation? Learn how you can effectively prepare for your presentations to make yourself more compelling and convincing. Do some research on your audience and understand who you're speaking to. Arrive early to where you are speaking to become familiar with the environment. Speak to your audience beforehand to see what is happening for them that day. Anticipate what you might be asked in advance. Use straightforward language and think about your audience beforehand. Also the Wonder Woman and Superman pose can help to perform in advance. It can help to reframe nerves to excitement, and actually say that aloud to yourself.

How does posture help you both feel more confident as a presenter, and also come across effectively to your audience?
