Training approach
Interactive training methods
We not only teach interactive methods, we also use them in our trainings. In this way, you learn from us twice:
- Theory (input)
- and practice of application
“Practice what you preach”
We model for you what you want to learn methodically from us:
Pointed input always alternates with phases of transfer and “doing it yourself
Evaluation and transfer:
- Why our approach is working so well
In-depth explanation of the psychological and group dynamic basics, so that you understand in depth the mechanic of large group facilitation – and why the methods work so well - What are the possible applications and scenarios
- Useful variations and modifications
(always related to the goals and the respective context of the subjects being discussed) - Q&A – rounds – so that all relevant questions will be covered.
Work on real case studies
We show you real case studies from real customers and related effective methodological approaches. In this way, you will quickly develop a sense of which methods are appropriate for which occasion.
It is not uncommon for our participants to bring case studies from their own work context. This is very welcome, because it ensures an ideal transfer to your own working environment.
