Why a training course for “good communication”?
Anyone can communicate. We talk, don’t we? We don’t need training in “good team communication”.
If your communication is really good, no destructive tensions will build up between you and your employees or in your teams. Then there is little content-related or emotional friction and trusting “together” replaces 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”.
Details
What are the objectives of the training?
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.
What is the basis of our work with you?
Our training course “The art of thinking together” is based on William Isaacs’ tried and tested approach and condenses it into a 6-point program:
- Create a safe “container” for trusting communication
- Learn to communicate – bilaterally and in a team
- Learn to recognize patterns, dogmas and taboos and bring them to the surface
- Understand how your “ecosystem” (team, environment, history, vision) influences your communication positively and negatively
- Learn to recognize how your processes disrupt or improve communication
- Operationalize your communication consciously, in the form of appropriate structures of formal and informal communication
How exactly does the training work?
You will get to know the conceptual basics of communication in the training and practice them interactively and practically 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 coaching or other team development modules.
