Session Description:  

Difficult customers. Frustrating coworkers. Unexpected setbacks. Sound familiar? In the fast-paced world of parking, transportation, and mobility, it's easy to let frustration take the wheel. But what if a simple shift in perspective could change everything? 

Discover how getting curious instead of furious can help you navigate challenging situations, defuse tension, and turn workplace frustrations into opportunities for better communication and stronger relationships. You'll learn practical strategies to manage emotional reactions, ask better questions, and uncover what's behind difficult interactions. 

Less frustration. More understanding. Better outcomes. Sometimes, all it takes is a little curiosity! 


Learning Objectives

  1. Identify personal emotional triggers that lead to frustration and recognize the physiological "warning signs" of a reactive state.
  2. Apply curiosity to replace reactive assumptions in tense situations.
  3. Demonstrate active listening and empathetic inquiry strategies to de-escalate conflict with colleagues and customers.
  4. Create an actionable plan to refit negative workplace narratives into constructive, solution-oriented perspectives.
