Beschreibung

• Wherever people work together, there are always tensions, conflicts, and verbal disputes. You areeither involved in these yourself or have to resolve a disagreement between colleagues. In some projects, meetings, or other interactions, you might sometimes even ask yourself: »Am I surrounded by idiots?«
• Dealing with difficult colleagues, however, is a challenge that everyone has to overcome from time to time. Because even if technologies continue to develop, the most important success factor in business remains people. That's why we have to deal with people, even if they make life difficult for us, while finding a way to work together and achieving our goals.
• The good news is that whether we perceive a situation or a person as challenging usually also depends on our own inner attitude. Having some basic psychological understanding and knowledge of how
people function, you have the power to influence the reactions of others to your suggestions and change them for the better.
• This seminar will provide you with psychological insights and concrete tools for dealing with tensions and contradictions, getting demanding discussion partners on board, managing conflicts, and moving controversial situations from discussion to dialog.
• You will work on case studies using role play, bringing theory into personal practice in a safe space and experimenting with different solution approaches to challenging communication and conflict
situations.
