Activity (Process)

Separate Acknowledgment of Feelings and Facts

In the acknowledgment stage of de-escalation, supervisors must address the emotional experience and the factual situation as separate elements. Identifying and naming the emotion validates the customer's personal frustration (such as the cost of an extra store trip), while restating the facts verifies the objective issue (such as an order arriving without a charger).
