Communication is a fundamental topic to all professional situations and contexts – “You can not not communicate.” (Paul Watzlawick)

Place:    Uni Stuttgart, Campus Vaihingen

Relevant professional situations:
Misunderstandings and conflicts occur in almost all communication situations. In this module we focus on a more general view including how misunderstandings arise and escalate into conflicts as well as on conflict cultures, personalities and individual strategies to avoid and to deal with conflicts. In other modules following, this awareness and general understanding will be applied to concrete situations and solution strategies. But to be able to it is vital to first understand the roots.

Objectives:
Participants understand different sources for and qualities of misunderstandings, critical incidents and conflict escalations. They learn about the relevance of different types of conflicts and levels of conflict escalations for adequate findings of solution and de-escalation strategies. They reflect their own personal conflict behavior patterns, their roots and the correlation between inner and external conflicts. Participants learn to solve inner conflicts, to develop inner clarity and also about conflict-avoiding and -provoking communication elements.
