Verbal Judo is a communication technique developed by George J. Thompson, a former English professor and martial artist, and it emphasizes using words effectively to de-escalate conflict and generate cooperation.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe course focuses on the core principles of Verbal Judo, including empathy, respect, active listening, and redirecting negative energy into constructive dialogue, and shows how these principles translate into professions where communication is crucial, from healthcare to education to customer service. Video examples let participants analyze real conflicts, both inside a therapy session and during a leadership role as a business owner.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBy the end, clinicians can list reasons why effective communication in private practice is essential, identify the core principles of Verbal Judo, and describe the goals of implementing Verbal Judo in their own SLP practice. Practicing verbal judo for private practice SLPs gives owners and staff a shared script for the moments that used to catch them off guard, and a way to train their own team in the same approach.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"TalkTools","offers":[{"title":"ONLINE","offer_id":53250215837864,"sku":"3918","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GROUP RATE - 5 users","offer_id":53250215870632,"sku":"3918-G","price":280.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1545\/7007\/files\/VerbalJudoforPrivatePracticeSLPs_bfcc9bb1-f702-4093-8753-97126d3ca0dd.png?v=1763042479","url":"https:\/\/talktools.com\/products\/https-talktools-com-collections-continuingeducationselfstudycourses-products-verbal-judo-for-private-practice-slps","provider":"TalkTools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
