TRAINING

I offer dialogue and workplace training in various formats with solid experience and professional expertise: engaging expert lectures, participatory workshops and coaching sessions, as well as longer courses and training programs. I am an experienced trainer, author, and a work-life expert with a research background. I have solid experience in training, coaching, and development work at universities, the public sector, NGOs, and businesses of various sizes. I apply a wide range of methods in my work and design the training flexibly based on your needs.

The trainings can be done in-person, online, or as a combination of both. The price will be agreed upon individually, based on the content, scope, and number of participants.

Dialogue and Timeout training and Training for Democratic Encounters

Dialogue refers to a constructive conversation that opens up new understandings and perspectives. Dialogue can be used to strengthen inclusion, create equal encounters, develop collaboration, and support preparation or decision-making. I provide customized dialogue training, where participants learn the basics of dialogue, practice their dialogue and facilitating skills, and learn to apply dialogue within their communities. I also train the dialogical Timeout method, which includes tools for planning, facilitating, and evaluating the impact of constructive discussions. The method is excellent for building trust and inclusion in (work) communities, developing organizational culture, and engaging in strategic and future work. In Timeout training, participants learn the basics of dialogue and its facilitation, and make a practical plan how to implement Timeout dialogues within their own community.

Based on our Handbook for Democratic Encounters I also provide training to strengthen participation and everyday democracy, particularly in public and third-sector services.
