Brief description
Anyone can communicate. We talk, don’t we?
If your communication is good, no destructive tensions will build up between you and your employees or in your teams. Then there will be little content-related or emotional friction. Then trusting “together” replaces the toxic “against each other”. Then you and your team are able to see the “big picture”, creatively recognize new paths and shape your vision together.
Successful communication can be open, deep, intense, controversial and emotional. Good communication is a binding agent and fuel. Good communication is central to the long-term success of you and your teams.
We believe that communication problems in teams, in organizations and communication problems among managers are commonplace. Communication is an art, communication is not trivial.
But communication can – and should – be learned. That’s why we offer this training course – based on William Isaac‘s standard work on communication: “Dialogue: The Art Of Thinking Together”.
If you have any questions about our training or coaching – just give us a call (+49 174 33 46 440) or via MS Teams (you can make an appointment here ).
Details
Would you like to
- improve mutual understanding in your communication? On the sender and receiver side?
- know how you can consciously shape your formal and informal communication to become more effective?
- learn how to achieve genuine mutual understanding, including patterns, previously unspoken issues and taboos?
- learn how to create a safe space for open and effective communication?
Perhaps you are heavily involved professionally, perhaps you are growing strongly? Or maybe there are challenges in your collaboration? Our program can take your communication to another level of quality in a manageable amount of time.
Our program “The Art of Thinking Together” is based on William Isaacs’ tried and tested approaches and condenses them into a 6-point program:
1️⃣ Create a secure “container” for trusting communication
2️⃣ Learn to communicate – bilaterally and in a team
3️⃣ Learn to recognize patterns, dogmas and taboos and bring them to the surface
4️⃣ Understand how your “ecosystem” (team, environment, history, vision) influences your communication positively and negatively
5️⃣ Learn to recognize how your processes disrupt or improve communication
6️⃣ Operationalize your communication consciously, in the form of appropriate structures of formal and informal communication
You will get to know the conceptual basics of communication in the training and interactively practice their application to specific issues in the group, e.g:
- Conceptual foundations of communication (e.g. the three languages, evolution of dialog, etc.)
- The 4 practices of successful communication (listening, respecting, exposing and speaking)
- The dialog map and its practical use
- Group dynamic effects around Kantor’s 4 players (Mover, Bystander, Follower, Opposer)
If required, the program can be combined with individual management development or other team coaching modules.

When am I “in the flow”?What is a good life? What do I want in life? Where do I want to go? We describe what often stands between us and a good life – and how we can resolve this in coaching.
- Why am I so impulsive?
Why do I explode?You see a trigger and anger, annoyance or disappointment boils up inside you. You become impulsive, you explode, perhaps you become hurtful or humiliating. And sometimes you get angry later that your emotions, your anger, have taken control of you. You “could have said it differently”. What does it take for such explosions? What happens inside you? And ...

Or: Your ‘egogram evaluation’In the previous series, we described the types of “I” we know in coaching – and in real life. We have described individual types (the little dictator, the free spirit, the rebel, etc.) – and you may have recognized many of them. Now – thank God – we are not just boringly one-dimensional, but multi-layered beings. We ...
