Repartee training: "Never be speechless again".

Seminar language: German

From Greta Wonneberger and Sabine Walter

Exactly the right reaction at exactly the right moment - those who are quick-witted feel comfortable in all conversation situations and are also prepared for stress and arguments. Quick-wittedness helps us at work and in our private lives and puts us in a good mood. It requires a calm inner attitude and proven techniques. This can be trained.

In the repartee seminar "Never be speechless again" we practise how to react confidently, calmly and even wittily in dicey situations. We train effective counter statements that you can use in private and professional situations. After our training, you will understand jokes, attacks and misunderstandings as a playful challenge. You will learn to catch, redirect and deflect them - elegantly and entertainingly for successful, goal-oriented communication.
