Handling Difficult Contacts through Email

An excellent, clearly delivered course, just the right amount of content and good variety of presentation and group work”

Iain Rennie Hospice at Homehandling difficult contacts by email

Many individuals and organisations use email as their main form of communication. The written word can, however, present its own challenges as body language and vocal tone is not used, which can lead to misunderstandings, wasted time and money. This course advocates best practice, email etiquette and ways of responding effectively to emotionally challenging emails.

I really enjoyed the training and it gave me a real insight into our service users’ experience."
