This course thrives on a mix of impulses from the trainer and interactions such as individual and small group work as well as plenary discussions, exercises, case work and feedback. Participants work on their own examples and situations.

This course is aimed at participants who want to work on themselves personally and assert their interests with more composure, concentration and aplomb, without compromising the quality of social relationships.

There are no formal requirements for this course.
