Diplomacy as a success factor

Head through the wall or smoothly to your destination?

This training is held in German.
Diplomacy is the art of understanding your counterpart, finding a joint solution in line with your own wishes and needs and always keeping an eye on the relationship. On the one hand, this requires a stable self-esteem and the ability to control oneself, and on the other, an attitude of respect and appreciation that allows me to save face with my counterpart. Learn how important it is for diplomatic communication to build bridges, set boundaries or even say no.
