How will the online meetings be conducted?
Each online session lasts 90 minutes. You cannot register for just one session.
We expect you to actively participate in and help shape the meetings, as unspoken expectations are often the cause of misunderstandings.

-
Second session (May 29, 2025, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.): In-depth case studies and the development of specific strategies for improving communication. We will discuss how to respond in challenging situations and how to avoid inappropriate behavior.
-
During the sessions, you’ll put what you’ve learned into practice in real-life situations and relationships.
Who are these meetings intended for?
We invite all of you who are responsible for employee development within your organizations, as well as those who plan and/or organize employee training. If you’re facing challenges with communication within your organization and want to adopt different approaches, these two online sessions are perfect for you.

Testimonials from Past Participants
★★★★★
“I would like to commend the instructors for their energy and professionalism. They consistently and logically provided answers to our questions. The training itself took place in a relaxed atmosphere, which was reflected in the confidence of our employees.”
★★★★★
“Exhaustion, clear presentation, excellent communication with the participants. Usually, various coaches are so ‘full of knowledge’ that people don’t even get a chance to speak. Here, it was exactly the opposite—after the information was presented, there were plenty of opportunities for discussion.”
★★★★★
“The instructor had great energy, the whole group was highly motivated, and there were plenty of practical tips and solutions.”
★★★★★
“The workshop was extremely interesting, dynamic, fun, and informative. It encouraged you to think more about what you truly want and what really drives you. The facilitator led and conducted the workshop exceptionally well—she gave us space to express our thoughts, provided practical examples, and guided us… It’s clear that she’s highly knowledgeable in her field, has a knack for working with people, and truly enjoys her work of sharing knowledge and leading workshops.”
