Most decisions are made in conversations, not in systems. This subject area trains the three situations where that goes wrong most often: negotiating, presenting, resolving conflict.
Conversations rarely fail for lack of argument. They fail because people argue first and listen second. Presentations do not fail because of the slides but because of the missing core message. Conflicts do not escalate because of the topic but because nobody raised it while it was still small.
Each course, one action. Conversations & Negotiation works on listening, questioning and interests instead of positions. Presenting & Storytelling on structure, core message and numbers that are understood. Conflict Management on escalation stages, the clarification conversation and what prevents conflict.
For people whose work involves conversations they cannot control alone — leaders, purchasing, sales, project owners.
How to choose your entry. If you are putting off one specific conversation, start with Conversations & Negotiation — that is where you work on your own case. If you speak in front of people regularly, start with Presenting & Storytelling. If something is simmering in the team, start with Conflict Management.
The courses can be taken in any order; they do not build on each other. Whoever takes all three should spread them over a year — the exercises work better with practice in between.
Recommendation for teams: conflict management first, then conversations, then presenting. A team that can raise conflicts practises conversation techniques more easily.
All courses can be booked individually and run on fixed dates in Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Munich and live online.
