Business moderation training compact

Successfully moderating meetings, workshops and events

This training is held in German.
In everyday working life, there are always meetings, both online and in person, that are not very efficient. They often lead to no useful results and leave a feeling of time wasted. Successful moderations are characterized by the fact that they achieve a desired goal with groups in the planned time and take the individuals with them. It is the facilitator's art to maintain a balance between content-related goals and a feeling for the group process. Whether meetings, workshops, working groups, meetings, conferences or events. In this practical and compact moderation training course, you will acquire the necessary skills to successfully plan and conduct moderations.
