Argumentation - and Discussion Training

Your Benefit

You often take part in meetings and discussions where you have to defend your objectives and preserve your interests? In this seminar you will learn how to win people over to your goals with convincing argumentation. You will get to know how to make use of the motivation and interests of your conversational partners. You will practise how to counter typical “power games“ in a relaxed way. Apart from your rhetoric means it is your personal appearance – your voice and your body language – which can enforce your arguments. In practical exercises you can train how to argue, how to appear in a sovereign way and how to handle tricky conversational situations.
