Anger Management

Course details

Anger is a universal experience. Dogs get angry, bees get angry, and so do humans. You don’t have to be a psychologist to know that managing anger productively is something few individuals, organizations, and societies do well. Yet research tells us that those who do manage their anger at work are much more successful than those who don’t. The co-worker who can productively confront his teammate about his negative attitude increases his team’s chance of success as well as minimizes destructive conflicts. The customer service agent who can defuse the angry customer not only keeps her customers loyal but makes her own day less troublesome.

Knowledge of anger management techniques can help participants to identify the causes of anger and reduce both the emotional feelings and the physiological arousal that anger causes. If your anger is out of control and is affecting your relationships and quality of life, this course can help you address and deal with your issues.
