How to Turn Frustration into Delight
 

Every day businesses frustrate their customers and employees. Unfortunately, a lack or recognition of this frustration and the inability to respond proactively cost businesses in terms of employee output, customer satisfaction, loyalty and ultimately - productivity and profitability. Participants will receive a detailed 24-page report (compiled from a pre-program assessment) that will allow them to understand their preferences in the area of customer service, communication, motivation, and management style.
 

The program consists of a half-day session during which participants will be actively engaged in the learning process. Participants will both experience the different ways the four interaction styles solve problems and address challenges. During the program, participants will:
 

• Learn how not to alienate 2/3 of your customers and employees.
• Understand the 4 Steps to 'Turn Frustration into Delight'.
• Create action plans for communicating and selling to every employee, customer and client.
• Learn the keys to motivate, manage and communicate with your team.

KICK THE HABIT WITH FREE TOBACCO CESSATION CLASSES AT CARTERSVILLE MEDICAL CENTER
 
Cartersville, GA; August 19, 2015:  Cartersville Medical Center is offers a monthly tobacco cessation class.  The class, led by Sandra Bethune, Georgia Department of Public Health, is free of charge and open to anyone interested in quitting tobacco, including cigarettes and smokeless tobacco.  The next class is scheduled for Monday, August 24.
 
“According to the CDC, people who stop smoking greatly reduce their risk for disease and early death. Although the health benefits are greater for people who stop at earlier ages, there are benefits at any age.  You are never too old to quit,” says Kim Hogan, RN, evidence based coordinator at Cartersville Medical Center.
Hogan references the CDC website (www.cdc.gov) which includes information about the health benefits of quitting tobacco. 
According to the website, stopping smoking is associated with the following health benefits:

• Lowered risk for lung cancer and many other types of cancer.
• Reduced risk for heart disease, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease (narrowing of the blood vessels outside your heart).
• Reduced heart disease risk within 1 to 2 years of quitting.
• Reduced respiratory symptoms, such as coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. While these symptoms may not disappear, they do not continue to progress at the same rate among people who quit compared with those who continue to smoke.
• Reduced risk of developing some lung diseases (such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, also known as COPD, one of the leading causes of death in the United States).
• Reduced risk for infertility in women of childbearing age. Women who stop smoking during pregnancy also reduce their risk of having a low birth weight baby.

The next class will be offered Monday, August 24th, from 5:30 until 8:30 p.m. in Classroom 1 at Cartersville Medical Center.  To register, for more information or future class dates, visit CartersvilleMedical.com and click on “Events & Classes” or call MedLine at 800.242.5662.
