The moderation boot camp for managers

Achieving results in challenging meetings

This training is held in German.
The alpha animals are once again bogged down in a topic and no one else can get a word in edgewise? The meeting is getting out of hand and you should end it in 10 minutes with a result? Does everyone expect you as a manager to remain neutral and confident in disputes? In our moderation boot camp, you will train to recognize pitfalls in good time, to balance different points of view without taking sides and to remain focused on solutions. Learn how to become so confident in your facilitation role that you can control group dynamics, keep to the time frame and lead meetings to sustainable results. Specific tips for confident moderation in challenging online meetings round off this bootcamp.
