Qualifikationsziele

This course is based on a three level concept of competency:

  • You will develop the Knowing component of your communication and negotiation competency: you hear and read about concepts and discuss them.
  • You develop the Doing component of your communication and negotiation competency: you apply your knowledge in games and other exercises.
  • You start developing the Being component of your newly acquired knowledge and practical skills: Academic learning is most effective when it is sustainably transferred into the real life situations.
The objective of this course hence is to enable you to develop effective negotiation mindsets.
