Protected: Compassionate Care: Elevating Customer Service Through Empathy and Listening

Communication is more than what you say. It’s how you say it, when you say it, and what your body is doing while you say it.

Components of Great Communication:

Tone: Calm, clear, friendly—not rushed or cold.

Language: Avoid medical jargon; say “Let me check on that” instead of “I don’t know.”

Body Language: Open posture, face them, don’t cross your arms.

Sample Phrases:

Instead of “You’ll have to wait,” say “Thanks for your patience—we’re getting everything ready for you.”

Instead of “That’s not my job,” say “Let me help you find someone who can assist you.”

Micro Practice:
Say the phrase “It’s going to be okay” three different ways: with a soft tone, a rushed tone, and a neutral tone. Feel the difference?
