Leadership starts with communication: Conveying one’s message and the related needs to the other person or listening to the other person and checking whether one’s understanding is correct can be challenging because it is not only verbal, but also para- and nonverbal communication which are key. With this seminar you sharpen your skill set and learn how to make your communication more effective.

To be able to lead one needs a team. Consequently, it is helpful to understand one’s own personality better but to also learn how other people tick and how to interact with them. The better one manages such interactions – one could even speak of social transactions – the easier it becomes to positively influence collaboration and thus shape a team that is psychologically safe and high performing.

Leading oneself and others can be challenging. Knowing how to handle stress and adversities, having clarity about one’s life goals and organising one’s daily routine in a sustainable way helps to remain focused. Not being afraid of conflictual situations but considering them as necessary for true agreements and knowing how to handle them leads to innovation and resilient (work) relationships.

With the aim of preparing the students to take on managerial responsibility, this 2x3 days-seminar teaches basic and practical management skills.
