Create rewriting exercises. Brand voice: [BRAND_VOICE]. Examples of replies that sounded cold or defensive: [COLD_REPLIES]. Policies we cannot bend: [FIXED_POLICIES]. For each of eight replies show the original, the problems (jargon, passive voice, blame, missing next step), and two rewrites: a short one and a fuller one. Explain which empathy phrases sound sincere and which sound scripted, with replacements. Provide a checklist for any reply, ten sentence starters that acknowledge feelings without admitting fault the company does not hold, and a short quiz. Remind learners that empathy never means promising what policy does not allow. Add ten before and after pairs in a table, each with the technique used, such as lead with the next step, remove blame, or replace policy language with benefit language. Add a short list of phrases to avoid with reasons, and a test to read each reply aloud and listen for tone. Provide a rule of three: acknowledge, answer, next step.
