Psychological safety: a success factor in team leadership

Mirror of Success: The compass for successful collaboration

Blended learning
This blended learning is held in German.
The dynamic challenges of recent years have thrown many teams off balance. Performance, trust, and cohesion suffer, especially in complex and rapidly changing work environments. At the heart of the training is the tried-and-tested "Mirror of Success" model, which applies neuropsychological mechanisms to the work context. The model acts as a compass, providing you and your team with orientation, clarity, and stability. It supports you in acting as a beacon for your team, creating psychological safety, and promoting genuine connection. In addition, training strengthens training ability to self-regulate and your rhetorical skills so that you remain balanced, empathetic, and effective even in challenging situations. Whether hierarchical or agile, in a face-to-face or hybrid work model, the insights and tools can be directly applied to your everyday leadership.
