Why should you attend?

How can you stand up for yourself in a connecting way? Communicate clearly and say what's on your mind while respecting others? Connective communication at work is the key to resolving conflicts faster, avoiding stress and strengthening your relationships with others.

Connection is the building block of any collaboration. In a business environment, teams and organisations work better together when there is sufficient mutual connection, and ultimately this brings more efficiency, effectiveness, as well as satisfaction. A connecting communication training promotes this mutual connection, thus leading to noticeably better relationships with colleagues and customers.

Because we mostly communicate on 'automatic pilot', things regularly go wrong. Some of the main stress factors at work stem from frustrations or difficult interactions with colleagues and customers. Many employees are involved in interpersonal conflicts with their colleagues, causing higher stress and less resilience. (Research by Wacker & Dziobek, 2018).

Much of this stress can be avoided by adopting an understanding and connecting style of communication.

So radical is Connecting Communication which is founded on the ideas of American clinical psychologist Marshall B. Rosenberg (1934-2015).

"I thoroughly enjoyed Peter and the Introduction to Connecting Communication training. His drive, energy, creativity and the empathy with which he conveys the information clearly and distinctly have fully recharged my batteries."
