If you work for the Catholic church and want to avoid burnout, overcome team dysfunctions, and put more souls in the pews, we’re here to help. Today we’re discussing Verbal Judo for Church Workers.

Specifically we’ll discuss some communication best practices that can help you to stay calm and peaceful, especially when you’re faced with a disgruntled parishioner. We’ll also give you our top 3 one-liners to help de-escalate those same conversations. 

Quick disclaimer. Verbal judo is an actual thing. We don’t own any rights to it, and we’re not really looking deeply into the things they teach. You can get their book though: Verbal Judo: The Gentle Art of Persuasion by George Thompson and Jerry Jenkins.
