Conflict Management
Conflicts are a part of life. And they can cause stress. But conflicts in the workplace do not have to be destructive. In fact, constructive disagreement can add value, as people compromise and reach better decisions based on input from others. Conflict becomes destructive when anger, jealousy and other strong emotions turn the focus away from problem solving and toward personal attacks. Destructive conflict can ruin relationships, interfere with productivity and destroy teamwork.

Our promise is that you will learn that solving conflict is not about one person proving the other person wrong but rather, about working with the other person to solve the problem and maintain the relationship. You will also learn ways in which you can resolve conflict constructively.

Impact Presentations

And the  good news is: anyone can do it!

7 Triggers to Yes (The Influencer)
The course lasts for two days and the participants will understand that influencing the ones around is not a random act, but science. Robert Cialdini, a professor of Socio-Psychology and Marketing at the State University from Arizona, spent 30 years studying the ways in which people can be influenced and reached the conclusion that they have a limited ability to understand the factors that influence their behavior. Once we identify and explain the factors that influence our decisions, we can understand how to use them in an ethical manner to get positive answers, but also how to defend ourselves when others try to use not so ethical purposes. The course aims at increasing self-confidence and the participants’ relating ability, at developing emphatic communication and building personal power and persuasiveness skills.
C
Creativity and Critical Thinking
In a highly competitional economic environment, all the players of the market look for a differentiating factor. “What can I do differently, better, faster, cheaper?” are the questions they need to answer to ensure survival. Many differentiating strategies rely on the development of new competences and the first on the list of these new competences is creativity. Creativity is not a “you have it or not” sort of competence, but an essential one. In fact, its presence is a prerequisite for the success of all the other competences. The course uses the Medici Game, a Celemi Power Dialog™ tool for innovation to help organization inspire and engage people around innovation. All the types of organizations in all the fields and people from all levels are targeted and upon completion of the course the participants will be able, among others, to identify and implement new ways to act and create value, to develop initiative and the courage to do things differently.
M
Multicultural Effectiveness
We live in a world of globalization and international cooperation in which, often times, the members of a different culture need to collaborate. What is allowed or even recommended in one culture can be a monumental blunder in another. Sometimes “yes” doesn’t mean “yes” and silence is not always what it seems. That is why knowing the differences and adapting to an intercultural reality is the key of being successful in this context. The Multicultural Effectiveness program lays the foundations of intercultural differences awareness and informed adaptation.

Risk Management (Titanic)
In the context of the world economic crisis, with a highly volatile business environment, understanding risk is crucial. What is even more important, however, is risk management. And, because in business risks shape the decisions and often indecisions, the immediate consequence can be significant economic benefits for those who dare confront and manage them, the so-called “risk premium”. The course will decode the structures of risk to allow participants to define it within their own organization. Various types of reactions to risk and management methods will be presented. But, first of all, the trainees will gain the required abilities to enforce risk management principles within a project and to cope with management risks.
