Class 29 Mar 2021 (Stressful Convo)

One of the stressful conversation I had was at work. It was the "You are attacking me" type of stressful conversation. It was an exchange between me and a customer. I work in a retail industry where I have to be nice to the customer. This time, the customer was complaining about something that beyond my department and my control. He basically asking for a refund on an item that already passed the refund period and keep insisting to do it. I had to politely direct him to the customer service so they might be able to assist him. However, the guy keep insisting for me to fix his problem. So I start by acknowledging and letting him know that I understand his frustration. He was calming down for a bit and finally agreed upon going to customer service to resolve his problem.

I need to improve myself to be more spontaneous and yet cautious.

     My group was talking about evaluation and descriptive defensiveness. An example of evaluative behavior we discussed is when people are in an argument, constantly pointing out each other’s wrongs and rights. On the other hand, the  example of descriptive behavior can be when someone is more calm and collected, someone who will assessed and observing the situation first before reacting.
