This training is held in German.
Laughing in presentations, meetings and at work? At first glance, it sounds unusual. In the past, laughter was seen as a reaction to threats - "showing teeth" - similar to a biting movement, according to the theory of some behavioral researchers. Today, humor is much more: it is not only permitted, but also extremely effective in the workplace. In the training , you will learn how to use humor in a targeted manner, which forms are acceptable today and how to avoid putting your foot in your mouth. Strengthen your appearance with self-confidence and shape the world of work with a smile!
