- Conduct workshops that focus on practical exercises and group discussions rather than lecture-style presentations.
- Explore different techniques for managing customer expectations and collaborative problem-solving.
- Encourage Workshop participants to share their experiences and insights, fostering a collaborative learning environment.
4. Feedback Sessions:
- Schedule regular feedback sessions where team members can openly discuss recent challenging interactions.
- Provide constructive feedback on communication skills, problem-solving approaches, and emotional intelligence.
