Topic

Aim of the course is to help students in personality type recognition and perform appropriate, effective communication with all of them in everyday practice. Several personality typologies exist. However, one thing is common: every type requires different communication to avoid conflicts and reach results. This course help in the so important self-awareness. Everyone will receive exact guidelines to determine themselves at first. Later we learn, how to recognize the types in other people. Course offers guidelines for proper behavior, mental awareness and attitude towards each type of people. Through several role-plays we learn how to perform the best in different situations.
