COURSES

INSPIRATIONAL AND MOTIVATIONAL SESSIONS – In a company the number of people who take on responsibilities and make decisions is far greater than its organigram depicts. An accurate understanding of decision-making mechanisms and the development of the ability to enforce the principles of the company are a key part of pursuing business objectives. Through individual and group exercises, the course makes participants more aware of their skills for negotiating with counterparts so that they can more effectively pursue their objectives. The latter are consistent with the mission of the company, based on shared values.
