Learn to communicate more effectively and attentively
When you communicate well with others, you don’t think about it. However, you can always tell when it doesn’t go well. Perhaps you sometimes get frustrated that others misunderstand you when you communicate. If that is the case, it is worth remembering that it’s not what you say that decides the message – it’s what your recipient hears and sees you communicate.
On this intensive two-day course you will learn how to practise effective communication and attentive dialogue. You will be better at communicating through “the right channel” and having a contact-creating behavior that are inclusive rather than exclusive.

Practical learning method
Employing a close interplay between theory and exercises, the course aims to provide the participants with a holistic understanding of everyday communication dilemmas.
Afterwards, we will work on bringing theory to practice reflecting on: “How can I use the new insights at work?” We will practise various situations from your everyday life, so that you can transfer your new learning into your reality.
Experience-oriented course
During the course you will work actively on developing your communication skills and your understanding of the relationship between content and process during the course of communication. You will be introduced to communication theories about daily communication and presentation.
The course is experience-oriented rather than theory intensive, because “Nothing is as practical as good theory – but it has to be lived out!” (Quote by facilitator Torben Frilund).
The course focuses on active involvement of you and the other participants. We will therefore alternate between demos, exercises, creative input, walk and talk, group work, etc.
Valuable group work
The group work will help bring about a high degree of confidentiality and intensity. You will use the group as a reflecting team where you will be doing cases and other practical training. The group will function in a supportive way and provide feedback.
During the course you will receive personal coaching from the facilitator based on an issue selected by you. The coaching will take place in your group.
