8 suggested screens

1

Welcome & relevance

Create a reason to care

Introduce Handling difficult customer conversations through a short workplace situation that feels familiar to Front-line colleagues. State what the learner will be able to do by the end.

Suggested interaction: Quick reflection or confidence check
2

What good looks like

Set the performance standard

Show the behaviours, decisions or steps that demonstrate: Handle a difficult conversation calmly and choose an appropriate next step. Keep this focused on observable performance.

Suggested interaction: Reveal key behaviours or compare two examples
3

Core principle

Teach only what is needed

Explain the minimum knowledge or process needed to deal with Handling difficult customer conversations. Use one clear model, checklist or decision rule rather than a long information dump.

Suggested interaction: Labelled example, tabs or short knowledge check
4

Worked example

Make the principle concrete

Walk through a realistic example for Front-line colleagues. Explain why each decision is effective and what risk it prevents.

Suggested interaction: Step-through example with feedback
5

Practice decision

Make the learner choose

Present a realistic decision related to Handling difficult customer conversations. Ask the learner to choose what they would do next, then explain the consequence of each option.

Suggested interaction: Scenario with 3 choices and consequence-based feedback
6

Common mistakes

Prevent predictable errors

Show 2–3 believable mistakes, why people make them and how to recover. Focus on mistakes that matter in the real workplace.

Suggested interaction: Spot-the-risk or choose-the-better-response activity
7

Second practice

Strengthen transfer

Use a slightly different situation so the learner has to apply the same principle rather than remember the previous answer.

Suggested interaction: Short scenario or branching decision
8

Action & transfer

Connect learning back to work

Summarise the practical steps for Handle a difficult conversation calmly and choose an appropriate next step. Give the learner a simple action, checklist or reminder they can use after the course.

Suggested interaction: Final knowledge/performance check + action commitment

Use this as a design draft, not an automatic final course

Validate the outcome, examples, risks and decisions with a subject-matter expert. Then refine the storyboard around real learner needs. See the storyboarding guide for the full process.
