Training
New concept
This training is held in German.
As an experienced manager, you have a great deal of expertise in managing employees. The world of leadership is changing rapidly and new challenges require new impulses and perspectives. In this training course, we offer you a "memorable", completely different approach in which you will experience leadership in an unusual and highly effective way. Using elements from martial arts and self-defense, you will implement leadership in an honest and authentic way. Because there are many parallels between martial arts and leadership that you can use, whether it's about taking a stand, making decisions or setting boundaries. By dealing confidently with pressure and stress and overcoming difficult situations, you will master even major challenges in an innovative and unusually effective way.
Do you have the courage to turn the established upside down?
With rethink training courses, you can change your mindset and discover new horizons.

Your benefit
Your benefit from the training:
- Self-defense techniques require concentration, self-confidence and clear body language. The training teaches you to take a clear stand and radiate authority, determination and composure. This helps you to appear confident in negotiations or difficult conversational situations.
- Self-defense promotes quick and clear thinking in critical moments. The training teaches you to make structured decisions under pressure and to lead the team safely.
- Self-defense teaches you how to remain calm and level-headed in stressful and threatening situations. This allows you to keep an overview in hectic situations and avoid making emotional mistakes.
- By training in self-defense techniques, you build up your self-confidence. You will develop greater confidence in your abilities, which will help you to set clear boundaries with employees, colleagues or superiors.
- In self-defense, the person defending themselves decides the outcome. Use action-oriented strategies and become aware of how you can effectively turn challenging situations into opportunities.
- Many self-defense techniques are based on mindfulness and close observation of one's own surroundings and the reactions of the other person. As a manager, this promotes the ability for self-reflection and a deeper understanding of interpersonal dynamics within the team.
