Specialist knowledge alone rarely determines whether a project succeeds. Whether an idea convinces depends on how it is presented, negotiated and supported by the team. Business skills bring together exactly these transferable skills: communication, self-organisation, personal presence, collaboration and dealing with conflict.
In our Business Skills courses, you work on specific situations from your everyday working life. You practise conducting conversations and presentation techniques, structure your working time, learn methods for negotiation and feedback, and reflect on your own behaviour in the group. The courses are deliberately run in small groups so that there is enough room for practice and feedback.
A presentation is rarely decided by the slides, but by the person in front of them: by a clear common thread, by body language and voice, and by how confidently questions and objections are handled. These skills can be learned – but only through practice.
In our presentation courses you work on your own talks. You structure your message for your audience, practise openings and closings, receive feedback on your delivery, speaking pace and eye contact, and practise handling critical questions. Groups are kept small so that everyone gets several turns.
Most successful attacks do not start with a technical vulnerability but with an email that looks credible. Technical safeguards only work reliably once the people in the company recognise the typical patterns.
In our Security Awareness courses we raise awareness among employees without a technical background. Using real examples, you learn to recognise phishing and social engineering, handle passwords and devices securely, know which data belongs where, and how to respond correctly and quickly if you suspect something.
It is not the number of tasks that leads to overload, but constantly switching between them: emails, calls, interruptions in the open-plan office. If you do not consciously structure your day, you mainly deal with what is urgent and keep pushing what is important further back.
In our time management courses you develop a way of working that suits your everyday life. You learn to prioritise tasks by importance and urgency, plan realistically rather than optimistically, set aside uninterrupted blocks of work, and practise delegating tasks or even turning them down. Throughout, you work on your own to-do lists.
