Days that make a difference
We have 20 years of experience with “Emotional Intelligence” working together with very diverse organisations, personalities and groups. The results of the trainings are very impressive. Our participants develop sustainable choices, in situations where leaders found themselves acting with automatic behaviours in the past. They have gained the ability to stop and consciously choose the appropriate attitude and behaviour for that moment, the person in front of them. This opens up the door for new solutions and new opportunities. They improve their self-leadership, empathy and the building of relationships.
In this training you learn more about the “people” aspects of leadership. You gather tools and insights that give you a more secure feeling tackling such situations. The training offers you the opportunity to take a look below the surface and this allows a deeper understanding of how we behave and ensures that changes are embedded in the personality, offering sustainable personal development.
People from different nations and cultures join together for this training. They learn from each other and experience how emotions come into play and impact the effectiveness of a leader. The two modules of the training will support you with useful and practical approaches in your personal development and daily life. You develop personal and sustainable skills to understand how to work with emotions and to be able to lead yourself better through challenging situations. With deeper insight you can positively impact others, elicit presence, motivation and cooperation. This training is unique in its experiential approach.
Our trainings develop a variety of essential skills of emotional intelligence
Aims Part 1:
Self-awareness & Self-leadership
You learn to tap into your own feelings, sense inner signals, and recognize, how your feelings affect you and your performance. You become more proficient in self-awareness and have a greater capacity to be aware what is impacting you and others. You gain more space between something that triggers your emotions and your response to it, ensuring a more conscious and skilful approach. You understand different parts of your personality better and develop effective skills in self-leadership.

Meaning of Emotional Intelligence
As managers and leaders of people we want to bring the best out of ourselves and from the people we work with. We want to be effective throughout our day when we are guiding our employees, making decisions, negotiating with others and getting our daily work done. We want to be clear. Understanding how the inner world works and improving our emotional intelligence skills can help us do this.
Over time there are situations where we do not seem to progress, and we realise that certain situations trigger behavioural patterns. We seem to react in the same way, despite wanting to change. For some people this poses the question »Here I am again, but why?« or »Why am I reacting in this way, although I know that it is not helpful?« How can we close the gap between rational knowing and actual performance? Indeed, with practice based on mindfulness, self-regulation and empathy, we can influence and improve the results of our actions.
Emotional intelligence theory has grown over the last twenty years through combining findings in neurobiology, academic and developmental psychology, as well as social psychology. Integrating the resulting scientific insights we are led to two simple questions: What qualities make a person successful in society? And can these qualities be developed?
Although the personal IQ does not change much throughout our lives, other types of intelligence can be developed. We can change them through practice and exercise. We can train and develop our emotional intelligence in the same way we can train our bodies. In particular the training of mindfulness, which has recently been a focus of extensive research, has a big impact on the capacity of dealing with emotions and has very positive consequences for our health, especially dealing with stress levels.

Participants
Our participants come from all over the world. They have different values, different histories and many of them attend with the common experience of being foreign abroad, without the native language, national values and rituals. This combination creates a very special atmosphere of openness and trust, and a deeper understanding which is much more effective than any intercultural training could be. If you are German speaking and communicate a lot in English, you will profit a lot in this training and gain more security in dealing with challenging situations.
Over the last few years we have had participants from Asian and Arab countries, from the UK, Australia and most European countries. It is a special privilege to experience personally, that we have many similarities to others, that our personal ways of feeling and responding are very similar.
We invite participants to take part with a good use of the English language, it does not have to be perfect. We have a good mixture of international people where English is their second language, Germans, who communicate a lot in English and native English speakers. We are used to working with people with different language skills.

Our Approach
This personal development training focuses on the specific questions, topics and concerns of the participants. We work with groups of 12-14 people with two trainers. In this way, we offer practical experience in an exercise-intensive setting. You will experience a clear didactic structure and good transparency about the procedure.
Safety and Trust
We start from the premise that the feeling of trust, emotional safety and self-determination are crucial factors when working with emotions in a learning environment. We do not use provocation, hidden agendas or an instructional approach towards personality issues. Instead, we make sure that you can discover your own coherent new options for your personal development. Our aim is, that you see and develop more effective ways of dealing with yourself and others whilst remaining authentic.
Intense and practical experience
Emotions, motivation and impulses are steered by the limbic system of the brain. This emotional centre of the brain learns by the intensity of an experience, continuous practice and feedback. This takes time and demands individual support. We offer many practical exercises, with personal feedback and coaching that make new experiences possible.
Mindfulness
We work with mindfulness – exploring our automatic internal processes and overt behaviours with great precision. Serving this purpose we use a variety of exercises in which participants can explore their impact on others. Self-regulation and self-leadership is fostered in individual coaching sessions and practical exercises.
Systemic Model of Personality
A systemic model of personality (Internal Family Systems) is very useful to better see and understand yourself and your impact on others. You reflect and explore different parts of your own personality, their specific limitations and their resources. This gives you much more understanding why you behave the way you do in certain situations and how to lead yourself more consciously.
Coaching
About a third of the time is spent with personal coaching in two sub-groups of six people and one trainer. Here you can explore individual questions or difficult situations, receive personal feedback, discuss topics important to you, deepen your understanding of topics presented during the training. This can help you to find new options and solutions.
