Did you know that your communication skills have a huge impact on your success and wellbeing at work? Interpersonal dynamics can either boost motivation and performance or - if it does not run well - consume a lot of your energy.
This workshop links communication theory to practical exercises in an interactive manner. This way you will get new insights into your own communication patterns. Furthermore, you will gain appreciation of the value of other communication styles. Learning how to apply useful techniques will save you from common pitfalls.
We will focus on achieving a goal-oriented, clear communication with a reasonable dialogue structure. Furthermore we will look at different levels of expression to ensure authentic and convincing conversations.
You will explore powerful communication tools such as creating common ground or clarifying misunderstandings through the art of listening, solving difficult situations with solution-oriented questions and providing and receiving constructive feedback.
