    Communication

    Communicating with others is a beautiful way to create closeness and an excellent opportunity to get into trouble. Most of our communication takes place on an emotional level. The sending person packages their message into a signal (usually words), and the receiving person interprets what she has heard to the best of their ability. Even Paul Watzlawick said, “You cannot not communicate.”

    In this training, we look at different communication models and determine how successful communication is structured so that it works for both the sender and receiver. Conscious learning from experience is encouraged through a structured “review” after each task.

      Conflict management

      Conflicts and the right way to deal with them should be part of everyday life in a company. Handled correctly, they release energy that promotes rather than hinders team cooperation.

      It is essential to recognise conflicts in time, to deal with them promptly, and to find solutions for the problem that has arisen. This training was designed especially for beginners in conflict resolution.

      You will learn to recognise conflicts, analyse them correctly, assess them and deal with them so that all sides can live with the negotiated solution.

      Facilitation

      We understand facilitation as the support of groups to make the best use of all resources. This support usually takes place at the process level. Facilitators provide groups with methods, tools, and skills that enable the other group members to focus on the content of the task.

      In this course, you will learn how to facilitate meetings and workshops in a way that helps groups achieve the desired outcome. We focus on facilitation settings for meetings using analogue and electronic facilitation tools.

        Remote Leadership

        As a virtual team manager, it is necessary to trust the employees’ willingness to perform and to give them the freedom to decide how to complete the work. At the same time, the manager needs to define the framework of cooperation with the team, such as regular communication and how to deal with unplanned requests.

        In this training, we look at different collaboration settings and the demands they place on leadership. It is essential not to neglect the social aspects of working together in virtual environments. For example, one-on-one communication between managers and employees must happen in the same way in a virtual context.

        Resilience

        In psychology, resilience describes people’s resistance to crises, trauma or significant stress.

        In this course, participants look at their lives. We search for traces of which patterns each person has developed and how these influence everyday life.

        In the second step, we work on strategies to sharpen our perception, actively replenish our energy resources and develop more resilience for crises through personal development.

        Difficult Conversation

        Difficult conversations always take place when there is a possibility that at least one side runs the risk of reacting emotionally to the content of the conversation. For example, it could be about delivering bad news, giving critical feedback, or addressing stressful topics for at least one side of the conversation.

        In this course, you will learn how to act confidently and level-headedly in difficult conversation situations. During the training, you can prepare for upcoming conversations and reflect on conversations that have been unsatisfactory in the past.

You must develop your ability to self-organise continuously; no patent remedy exists.

        Negotiation skills

        Negotiations are among the most demanding tasks of everyday professional life. Often the line between failure and success is narrow and depends decisively on personal and professional appearance. Insufficient preparation, incorrect formulations or unclear agreements can quickly lead to difficult situations that cost money and weaken your professional position.

        In this course, you will learn about the different forms of negotiation. We will show you how to prepare talks consistently and conduct them in a structured manner thanks to the four Harvard principles, aiming to reach workable agreements cooperatively. You will experiment with negotiation cases and learn how to make negotiations a win-win situation for both sides.

        Goal-oriented Leadership

        Goal-oriented leadership is a competence that managers need to complete their daily tasks. When managers pass on goals to employees, they have to decide how much freedom the employee should have, how experienced the employee is, and how freely and independently the employee can work.

        In this course, you will learn about the Coverdale Aims Grid – a tool to define goals even in complex situations. We will also look at management systems for organising goals.
