What is it about?

Working independently in teams requires a high level of professionalism in communicating with teammates. Understandably, participants are expected to treat each other openly and respectfully and to resolve difficult situations autonomously. This requires knowledge and skills to clarify different perspectives and formulate them in an acceptable manner. 

After this online seminar, you will know how to formulate your perceptions and perspectives as constructive feedback in an understandable and and respectful, and how to clarify the views of of your conversation partners in a benevolent manner.
