Meeting magic: Convincing contributions that stick in the mind.

The important meeting begins and you are fully prepared. But as soon as all eyes are on you, nervousness takes over. What just sounded powerful loses its impact. The audience listens, but the wow effect? It doesn't happen. Your mind races, your body reacts: clammy hands, shaky voice, a sinking feeling in your stomach. In the end, you leave the meeting disappointed and think: "That should have gone better." Our expert Natali D'Abundo knows the problem from her coaching practice, she has already helped many people to find their personal performance power and will give you valuable tips and tricks in this workshop on how you too can improve your performance and experience personal aha moments.

Together we can!

Psychological safety in the team as a success factor

A strong team needs not only bright minds, but ideally people with different personalities. Studies have shown that the more diverse the team members are, the better it is for creativity and innovation. But differences can also cause friction: a flippant but well-intentioned remark can quickly be perceived as criticism, and misunderstandings can strain relationships. Those who recognize the potential of diversity and understand what each individual needs to perform at their best can specifically promote trust and appreciation within the team. A team becomes a safe space when everyone can rely on the fact that they are allowed to make mistakes, offer help, and accept help—without fear of evaluation or judgment. This psychological safety is the key to (team) success. In this workshop, you will learn how to break down communication barriers, promote trust, and strengthen the team.

Pictures say more than 1000 words: visualize data like a pro

"A picture is worth a thousand words" - the ancient Chinese already knew this. And even today, nothing has changed. We humans are visual beings and love to see beautiful things. This applies to all types of design, but especially to information design. Why? Because we take in an incredible 83 percent of all information through our eyes. But how do we manage to visualize complex data in such a way that everyone can understand it at a glance? Would you like to transform your data into impressive, understandable visualizations? Then this workshop is just right for you - our expert Robert Buk will show you how.

Cool project management tools for daily business

In this interactive workshop, you will learn about three tried-and-tested project management tools plus a bonus method that can be used to structure projects, initiatives, or work processes from the initial idea to a clear distribution of roles. Instead of theory, there is a direct introduction with a mini goal cross, which is refined step by step as the workshop progresses. This will result in a clear action plan based on your own example. Whether you are a project participant or a driver of change, the methods are low-threshold, easily transferable, and provide immediate "aha" moments in your everyday work. Participants will go home with a concrete result on their own topic, supplemented by a compact tool booklet as a giveaway that summarizes all the methods.
