Business upheavals, when employees and even managers see themselves as victims, are neither new nor rare. At the same time, it is often difficult to see them as an opportunity for a restart. All of a sudden, crisis conditions (like COVID or Ukraine crisis) arise; those had been hardly predictable. VUCA raises its head!
Indeed significant advances in technology may devalue existing knowledge and skills, but also create completely new jobs. Furthermore, planned restructuring continues to lead to planned downsizing, and consequently you have to apply. Mergers also change structures and hierarchies, and thus one’s own position, or lead to a new boss. Lastly, carve-outs might lead to changes in the medium term, and eventually to drastic ones.
All of this may trigger fear and uncertainty, though possibly not intended. But may work as a wake-up call for a restart out of the comfort zone.
Why would you, personally, be interested in the open seminar?
In the open seminar you will learn to determine your way to action – based on conscious self reflection.
Thus, it is possible to make decisions in a way that a boost for your further career development will be possible. For example to overcome a career plateau.
Furthermore, you will learn how to maintain constructive dialogue with important decision-makers in a such a situation.
As a person affected, you learn to deal with situations and crises that initially appear threatening, so to ultimately achieve an advantage for yourself.
You will learn to better recognize and describe personal goals, also for a restart, and therefore to pursue these effectively.
In addition, you will also learn about the most important legal frameworks affecting your situation, you thus consider legal problems. As a result, you will be on the safe side when making your decisions.
We are in the process of creating direct online access for registration here. Please wait for details we will announce. The pilot run will take place in the Munich area 10th to 12th of February.
Why should you be interested in the company specific seminar?
Because you may want to offer your employees a chance to cope with very special situations. Or you wish to help them to a restart. Support them with our offer. All in all, help them to put themselves back at the control center to meet important decisions. With regard to all people and factors involved, for the benefit of all parties.
You learn to make decisions so that a new start can result, if possible in the company.
You also get to know how to discuss upheavals constructively with important decision makers. Because you train to clearly express your needs and interests.
Chiefly, you will understand how to deal with seemingly threatening situations and quickly find your route back to self-determined action in crises.
Lastly you will also get to know the most important legal framework that applies in your current situation.
Simply get in touch via our contacts if you see a need for your managers and employees. This allows us to ask about specific needs and discuss the design in detail.
Training for a restart: form and structure, organizational matters
We want to offer the event, see above, on the one hand as an open seminar. Thus, participants who do not want to discuss their situation with others from the same company. So they can benefit from advice from knowing people, but rather from strangers. We have planned the weekend of 10th to 12th of February, 2023, as our pilot run; live or, if necessary, virtually. You can find out more about our planning here.
On the other hand, we offer company-specific events. Finally, changes in the company, such as new processes or changed requirements for the employees, internal implementations or even the reduction of staff, have to be carried out. Managers and employees, especially those who are ‘affected’, would get advice and coaching, as well as training. Both from trainers and people in the same situation!
The Trainers Team
The team of developers will also be the team of trainers. I, Dr. Reiner Borretty, have a wealth of experience as a manager and “human resources specialist”. Our team includes the equally experienced labour lawyer Andreas Schulze, who also contributes his legal expertise. We had already carried out training courses and workshops for well-known customers on the subject and have now brought our concepts together for your benefit, finally.
The seminars are to be held face-to-face or maybe in virtual form, COVID is not at all over. We intend to hold them over two days (plus the evening before) with a maximum of 12 participants.
In the kick-off on the evening before, the specific questions and topics are collected, presented and – as the first focus of the consultation – determined in more detail. We then work mainly over two days in a mixture of concrete case work in parallel groups. Moreover, we provide input and training on the methods:
There is also relevant input and intensive exchange. Finally, we jointly develop specific steps for the company’s or personal future.
The Rakotz bridge (left) is intended to symbolize our model: off to new shores, in several consultation cycles, and later decision, discussion, and negotiation.
