All the workshops included in our programme (Workshop on SDI and Communication, Workshop on Management, Workshop on Hiring the Ideal Candidate) are designed to give participants the skills to implement improvements to their every-day work, once they complete the workshops. We use verified approaches to tackle different areas: from communication and management to hiring. We believe that theoretical knowledge is not sufficient and, therefore, we apply everything we learn in practice as well. The number of employees, area of operation and the success and history of the company do not influence the efficiency of the workshops. At the client’s request, we can organise individual workshops and workshops tailored to the company’s needs.
Workshop on SDI and Communication
Purpose
The purpose of the workshop on SDI and communication is improving relationships within the team and establishing successful, goal-oriented communication. Furthermore, we strive to eliminate communication noise and its bad consequences. We equip people in all positions with adequate knowledge and skills concerning communication, which they will be able to transfer to their communication with clients and their team members.
Method
The workshop on SDI and Communication is an interactive workshop where the participants fill out an SDI (Strength deployment inventory) questionnaire, determine their MVS (Motivational value system) profile, and learn through exercises and discussion what is best for a certain profile, how to communicate and collaborate with other profiles, and how to react in conflict situations.

The purpose of this workshop is to present the basics of leadership. What does it take to be a good leader? A manager is a key part of a team – the success of the team and the company largely depends on the manager, their managerial skills, assets and prudence. Managers should set an example to their co-workers and motivate them and encourage them to grow and be enthusiastic about their work.
