Asserting yourself in groups and difficult situations

Staying self-effective and acting confidently under pressure

This training is held in German.
The cards are reshuffled at every meeting, project or team meeting: Who has influence and can actively shape events, who lives a shadowy existence or ends up in an outsider position? Even in the New Work context, there are dynamics at work that put your assertiveness to the test. In order to achieve your own goals in the long term, you not only have to temporarily put aside your need for harmony and sympathy. You will also need the ability to emphatically defend your own ideas and opinions, not to give in to aggression, to recognize group structures and use them to your advantage and to see through manipulative games.

Contents

  • Use the dynamics of the group to your advantage.

  • Think and act strategically: Develop your own behavioral options.

And every day the groundhog greets you: mind games at work

  • Small collection of games: Typical behavior patterns with conflict potential.
  • Into the drama, out of the drama: don't get caught up in it and get out.

Taking the wheel

  • Showing personal bite: appear confident and decisive.

  • Recognize your own reaction patterns in difficult situations.
