POSITIVE COMMUNICATION AT THE WORKPLACE
“If there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other person’s point of view and see things from that person’s angle as well as from your own.”
(Henry Ford)
Positive communication at the workplace is a training offer for companies, organisations and individuals who wish to communicate in a way that creates and maintains connection – even in challenging situations. Based on the clearly structured process and life-affirming attitude of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) you will learn to:
- Recognize and understand your own patterns of communication
- Express your concerns without provoking resistance from your counterpart
- Empathize with the concerns of your counterpart without necessarily agreeing to them
- Find solutions to conflicts that benefit everyone involved
The results are respectful and authentic interactions at eye level.
Content and Methods
Typical content for trainings on positive communication at the workplace include:
- The 4-step model of Nonviolent Communication
- Creating connections through self-empathy, self-expression and empathy for others
- Expressing appreciation in a way that it can be received well
- Saying no without abandoning the relationship
- Constructive ways of dealing with “mistakes”
All workshops and trainings are practice-oriented with short theoretical inputs, individual exercises or exercises in small groups, role plays as well as panel discussions. It is possible to work with examples from your own work life. The approach is relaxed and joyful.
