Leadership is largely communication: conveying goals, giving feedback, addressing conflicts, standing up for decisions. In hybrid teams and in times of change this becomes more demanding. If people rarely meet in the corridor, they need clear agreements and deliberately cultivated relationships.

My training focuses on the situations that really occupy leaders and project managers: the honest feedback conversation, standing your ground during change without steamrolling others, and moderating meetings where a lot is at stake.

Typical situations

  • The team is harmonious, but important things remain unsaid.
  • Feedback should be honest and still appreciative.
  • You need to assert yourself in day-to-day project work without steamrolling.
  • Change meets uncertainty and resistance.
  • Trust and cohesion should also grow at a distance.
  • Meetings and conflict conversations need good moderation.

Topics

What we work on

  • Feedback that works

    The three-step feedback of observation, effect and suggestion makes feedback clear, specific and appreciative.

  • Receiving criticism

    Listen, ask, classify: deal with criticism confidently and separate the factual from the relationship level.

  • Assertiveness

    Say clearly what you think and need without hurting others, with the 3A rule: address, express, agree.

  • Interests, not positions

    Principles of the Harvard concept for conflicts and negotiations in everyday leadership.

  • Moderation & conflict resolution

    Structure meetings, define problems and goals, develop solutions and measures together.

  • Leading at a distance

    Communication rules, rituals for informal exchange and relationship building in hybrid teams.
