Using a handy archetypal model, we work towards targeted, effective but also affectively connecting conversations, towards task-oriented and people-oriented results and
even better cooperation.

stronger meetings.
Analyze the right problems efficiently & creatively solve them
Knowing the problem is half the solution! Or even; it is better to half solve the right problem than to solve the wrong problem completely. In all our haste and drive, we sometimes solve symptoms instead of the real underlying cause. In this workshop, you will practice a number of methods that, on the one hand, investigate the deeper cause/causes of more complex problems and - on the other hand - immediately provide insights into the solution, so that you can focus on what works structurally in the long term. The starting point is your own recurring and frustrating situations!
Deciding even better

Boost, for ongoing teamwork
In this very dynamic, sometimes exciting and, above all, connecting team process spread over different workshops, the group discovers which growth phase -Tuckman- they are in and decide together what further team development -Lencioni- is necessary is in reach. Definitely starting from understanding each other, it builds on trust, towards open and appreciative communication and giving and receiving feedback! -, dare to discuss conflict, include commitment, appeal to accountability, towards effective results with genuine and transparent teamwork and an agreed action list as a lever
.
Boost, for specific team topics
This short, highly interactive workshop - roll up your sleeves! - starts around a focused theme that the team wants to tackle, wants to improve, e.g. customer or result orientation, cooperation in general. With the positive and inspiring method of appreciative inquiry, we then go into corner work and plenary presentations and explore where we are already strong, where we would like to end up and what we need to decide and do in order to do so. At the end of the workshop, the enthusiastic employees have a clear action list for further implementation
.
Together we're strong, understanding each other!
Playing and laughing, the different personalities and communication styles that are represented in the team are reviewed. With their qualities, pitfalls, allergies and challenges and how best to deal with each other. Feedback is given and received in a fun and slightly confrontational but unmistakable way, a charter is signed with everyone's commitment to respect and speak the other person's language and, at the end, we compliment each other out. Fun but... effective!
Feedback as a breakfast: communicating with each other!
Good communication is the oil between the team radars! In the workshop, colleagues learn in a fun and appreciative way - in court! - know their blind spots, qualities and pitfalls. Supported by scientific insights and various techniques, they give and receive concrete useful feedback to and from each other, learn how to deal with resistance and conflict, towards more insight into themselves and strengthened for an even better culture of contact
and cooperation.
Golddigging: about team roles and talents...
Who has what role in our team, both officially and unofficially? Do they fully match who they lie? Are there qualities that we are missing out on? And which roles are plentiful, which are we missing in our team to fully carry out our assignment? In a fun, active workshop, we discover everyone's natural preferred roles, you get insight into the dynamics of team roles, you learn how to use the team power of diversity, with the result: an even more cohesive, efficient and motivated team that achieves its goals more effectively and
more fun.
Going through changes in a team
Changes can go in at least two directions. And you really don't want to sit in one of them. In this workshop, you and the team go through the change cycle, you have an ear for each other and are task-oriented and people-oriented, you research and listen understandingly to objections, resistance and potential conflict in order to work together. The end result is a team free from subcutaneous tensions, a clear plan of action and a different view of change, necessary for further transitions and transformations
in the future.
Solving problems structurally, constructively and creatively
It is better to half solve the right problem than to solve the wrong problem completely. In all our haste and drive, organizations often treat symptoms instead of the real structural underlying cause, so that problems appear temporarily resolved but return later - usually in an emotionally worse form -. In this team workshop, we practice with methods and techniques that simultaneously investigate the deeper cause/causes of more complex problems and also provide constructive structural solutions. In addition to having reviewed your own cases, the end result is also insight into cause-effect and
techniques for future issues.Organizations
Mission, vision, strategy, action: regenerating!
Inspiring organizations not only focus on the task and the people, but are also inherently involved in what they do and know how to convey this to others in an inspiring way. In this workshop, management teams recharge their batteries about the why what and how of their business and dynamically exchange how daily activities connect to this. The result is a clear and action-oriented brown paper, everyone in the same direction and... eager to fly further in with renewed drive
.
Prepare strategic business & business plans

After all, it will take the necessary thinking & numbers as well as a convincing message to investors! Starting from a vision/mission, this workshop actively covers all phases of drawing up a business plan using the Business Model Canvas. At the end of the day, you'll have the tools you need to turn the dream into a business plan reality. If you can dream it, you can make it.
Meeting process for organizations
Meeting is one of the most time-consuming activities in an organization and always appears at the top of frustration lists. If you want to make strong progress here in a reasonably simple way, both qualitatively and quantitatively, a company-wide campaign can be interesting: pain points are identified over 3 months, best and worst practices are exchanged, short focused workshops are given and agreements are made, followed up briefly in each meeting and globally monitored towards measurable, stronger and shorter meetings. Count out your profits. Guaranteed!
Time frame for organizations
Time - rather than budget - is one of the scarcest resources in an organization and the lack of it always comes up in frustration lists -just look at yourself-. Take a quantum leap here as an organization towards saving time and frustration through a company-wide campaign around time to feed: spread over about 3 months, pain points are identified, analyses and agreements are made, best and worst practices are exchanged, short focused workshops are given where necessary, constructive structural decisions are made towards measurable time and... well-being gains. What percent and how much unnecessary energy loss do you think you can gain with this yourself? Feel free to call me for free sparring
