Personal Effectiveness

In any profession, making a good presentation is the be-all and end-all. Successful presentations require much more than colorful PowerPoint charts. Bad presentations and speeches are lost time and wasted opportunities.  Together with your trainer, you will work out what you need to do to spark the audience: How do I prepare properly? How do I practice a presentation? How do I make a good first impression? How do I place my message effectively? How do I convince – indeed, how do I inspire – my audience? 

You will discover coaching as a powerful leadership tool which you can use to enable your people to both achieve peak performance and to reach their full potential.

The world is spinning faster and faster, becoming more incalculable and constantly presenting us with new challenges. Are there strategies to deal with this development constructively, even to make it controllable and usable for us individually?  Yes, there are – and there are fascinating role models from whom we can learn these strategies.

It is about increasing our adaptability, about conscious and clear self-leadership, about clarity and decision-making sovereignty – and about the reliable, inner compass that guides our actions. Pirates never operated in stable conditions. Anytime and anywhere, they were in mortal danger and had to permanently act more agile, faster and more surprisingly than their opponents in order to be successful. Their clever, unconventional and audacious strategies provide us with an excellent role model for today.
