Mad Bad Sad Tears Abuse and Threats

Mad Bad Sad Tears Abuse and Threats is our # 1 most popular professional development course. It originated a few years ago as a course for a government insurance company that was knocking back last dispute insurance claims. The staff knew that every incoming phone call was a person who was irate, upset and sometimes threatening. The course then morphed to hospitals and community services. Now we have a version of the course for most sectors. Recently the course has been very popular in regional government services and housing

Because of its popularity the content gets updated quarterly and the current course content has only a couple of models from the original version. Plus, it’s then tailored to the audience.

Working in organisations means you’ll be confronted with highly emotional internal and external customers. Mad, Bad, Sad, Tears, Abuse and Threats are some of the behaviours you’ll encounter. This niche course was designed for employees by an organisational psychologist to give you tools to deal with these unwelcome behaviours.

“Lots of fun, made it easy to learn.”  J. Shelberg Bright Brewery

“David is an excellent training facilitator. He took the time to adapt examples that we could really relate to. He is an EXCELLENT listener! And he is really good at picking apart what individuals say (in a good way) and applying the training to situations we bring forward. As someone who rarely feels comfortable speaking up in a situation like this, his approach was very much appreciated.” M Habjan Council for the Arts

“Tom was a really engaging presenter, really enjoyable and useful session”. A. Weekes Sports Integrity Australia
