Problem Solving and Decision Making

Description:  Learn to apply decision-making and problem-solving skills to reduce risk and choose the best course of action while strategically achieving objectives. The overarching aim of this particular seminar is to help participants develop soft skills and enhance their understanding of conflict management, contempt and negativity.

This 5-day seminar will assist a multi-national European group of participants to develop their conflict management skills while helping in their personal development, learning new tools and techniques and connecting with others in a meaningful way. By actively empowering participants to handle conflicts and crises in their classrooms and in their work environments, educators are at the same time receiving an important boost in their self-confidence while acquiring important tools and techniques.

I think I am more possitive, at least I know that, I need to work on being more possitive and focus on what is important. There are no problems only the different ways of seeing things!

I feel more prepared to approach my students as well as my school’s principal.

The information provided and the trainer were great. Good course structure, motivated and cooperative group.

It is not possible to describe a course in one sentence, but I really needed the course to get more energy and fresh thoughts about different approaches to the problems.
