Select Training Format

We all have the skills for good relationships within us. Our environment, at home, at school and at work, gradually leads us to stop using them. My work is to help you rediscover what is already within you and begin using it consciously, then unconsciously and naturally.

Why do it?

A technique taken from a handbook sounds like a technique in a relationship, relying on rules and advice you will eventually forget. Rediscovering and using your four skills is enough to deal naturally with your workplace and personal situations. People can tell the difference between genuine interest and a method.

They are based on the human-centred approach of Person Centered Approach, PCA, developed by American psychologist Carl Rogers.

Origin of the method

From Experience to Change

01

Experience

The topic opens up through specific situations known to participants from life or work.

02

Understanding

Together, we name what the conversation supports, what blocks it and what emotions have in it.

03

Training

A new way of communication is safely tested in conversation, model situations and feedback.

04

Transfer

Each participant takes a specific step to use in its own environment.

What you can count on

You do not have to take an active part or disclose private matters. You can ask questions and contribute if you wish. You choose your own level of involvement.

Workshop ground rules

You do not have to take an active part or disclose personal matters during the workshops. You can ask questions and contribute if you wish. We follow these principles:

  • How we address one another
  • The opportunity to express your opinion
  • A commitment to confidentiality
  • Managing heightened tension
  • Keeping track of time
  • Attending to needs and the setting

With the participants’ consent, role-play can be recorded and reviewed by the group. The recording is deleted at the request of the person taking part.
