Flip the Elephant

If your team wants something inspiring, a session to stimulate cooperation or to enhance their team culture, you will first need a kick off meeting to get things going. Hereafter you can define an action plan and ownership. The “Flip the Elephant” approach is an international proven concept to expedite the process and get everybody into “CAN DO” mode.

Different view on current situation

Maybe you recognise this: you’re in a difficult situation because you’ve lost your job or you no longer enjoy your work. You feel demotivated, maybe even depressed and tend to go down the negative spiral. This is where you need us to help you take a different view at things and to turn any negative feelings into positive outlooks, taking you out of the so called burn out or bore out situation.

Public media spokesmanship

Public media can make or break you which is why you better know how to deal with them correctly. When you’re in a public or media sensitive position you may be looking for guidance on how to speak to the press properly. We are able to support you with tips and tricks so you’ll never be lost for words again and instead feel comfortable talking to press members.

Effective meeting

We tend to meet a lot, spending hours of valuable time and thus money. Unfortunately these meetings much too often are ineffective and end without clear or intended result. In an ideal world you would want to make a difference during such a meeting and you would want your input to be giving direction. Instead of just discussing, you would like to use dialogue techniques to get your intended message across to more people. We can show you specific “verbal judo” techniques to help you get the most out of your meetings.
