Summary of most current work experience

I work mainly with master students of Business Administration and Human Research Management on a variety of professional and communication skills in multi-day training programmes. These skills include: giving and receiving feedback, dealing with resistance, self-reflection, team work, conflict management, negotiation skills, project management, communication skills for consultants, emotion management etc. Students work both on their skills needed in their professional field and for their personal leadership (effectiveness), in groups and individual (coaching).
