In an era where student services teams are more likely to be interacting with financially and emotionally vulnerable students, the risk of burnout for those on the front line has been dramatically increased. We want to help you support your team with practical guidance on how to respond to customer interactions with compassion, but without them compromising their own wellbeing.
About the online class
Designed specifically for leaders of Student Services teams, this Master Class will give you the understanding, tools and tactics to support your team.
Through practical and interactive exercises, the master class will help you support your team to:
- Better recognise and handle conversations with vulnerable customers, including understanding their needs through empathetic questioning
- Use action-focused language to support vulnerable customers
- Recognise the difference between empathy and sympathy in order to help your team avoid ‘empathy burnout’
- Understand key resilience strategies applicable to staff on the front line
- Understand the physiological effects of stressful conversations
- Recognise ways to enhance self-control when handling challenging interactions, including reflecting on ‘stress triggers’
- Use a growth mindset to better deal with ambiguity – recognising ‘think traps’
