Communication Tip of the Month: Emotional Communication
David had been on the phone for 20 minutes waiting for the airline operator to tell him the status of his afternoon flight reservation. Impatient and nervous, he lost his usual control when the lady told him that she couldn’t find it. “What do you mean you can’t find it! That’s ridiculous, I made the reservation a month ago, and I am due to leave this afternoon at 16:00,” David yelled at the airline operator.
As soon as he heard himself saying these words, he was sorry, as he knew he was alienating the only person who could help him solve his problem. By now, his level of stress was peaking, and he wasn’t sure how to deal with it.
Interestingly enough, the operator helped him out when she calmly said, “When you raise your voice, I cannot concentrate, sir.” David was lucky; she had just giving him a chance to apologize without losing face.
Two minutes later they were conversing like two adults trying to solve a problem. As soon as David explained how crucial this trip was for him, the operator became a solid ally who did her best to find space on an already full plane. Although David had attended a couple stress management workshops and was aware of some stress management techniques, this time the airline operator managed the emotional side of the conversation much better than he did.
How well do you deal with stress in your everyday life?
Yours truly,
Karin
