Coaching and Training to Prepare for Success

 

You’ll find articles here on topics such as negotiation tactics, effective communication strategies, and body language mastery, along with professional coaching sessions that include role-playing exercises, personalized feedback, and tailored action plans for systematically preparing for important conversations and negotiations. When the outcome of a conversation has significant consequences, such as a salary negotiation or a high-stakes contract discussion, professional support can be an invaluable asset. With the right preparation, you and your offer will be more convincing.

 

 

What I Offer

 

Preparation for Meetings and Negotiations

 

Whether you need to explain complex issues succinctly or face difficult negotiations with demanding customers, I provide tailored coaching to help you succeed. If you’re planning to ask your boss for a raise, I can also help you prepare effectively to make a strong case.

 

Navigating Difficult Conversations

 

Do you need to make clear statements to your employees without straining the working atmosphere? Or perhaps you’re struggling because so much depends on an upcoming conversation and every word counts? I address these challenges by providing tailored scripts, practice sessions, and feedback to ensure your message is effective and well-received. I help you find the right balance, even when linguistics and psychology aren’t your hobbies.

 

 

The Challenge of Communication

 

Communication is not always easy. Sometimes we say something and realize too late that it was interpreted quite differently by the other person. For example, you might intend a suggestion as helpful advice, but the other person could perceive it as criticism, leading to misunderstandings. This often happens during conversations where we’re trying to convince others—whether it’s about a special offer, selling a point of view, or conveying a necessity. Failing to get to the point quickly can lose the audience’s interest, and with it, the chance to persuade. A failed conversation means a missed opportunity.

 

 

Let’s Talk About It – How I Can Help

 

To ensure your conversations are successful, I help you to:

  • Master Effective Communication Strategies:
    Go beyond textbook tactics and learn real-world skills.
  • Expand Psychological Skills:
    Understand the psychology behind successful communication.
  • Leverage Practical Experience:
    Gain insights from practical examples, such as case studies or role-playing exercises, rather than just theory.
  • Handle Difficult People:
    Learn strategies to manage even the toughest individuals in negotiations.
  • Create a Relaxed Atmosphere:
    Build an environment where communication flows smoothly.
  • Stay Calm and Confident:
    Remain authentic, composed, and convincing under pressure.

 

With these skills, you won’t need any tricks up your sleeve—your conversations will naturally be more successful.

For those who want to play it safe and communicate effectively, I recommend comprehensive Communication Skills Training and Presentation Skills I-IV through private lessons.

Best presentation skills trainer I’ve ever met. Karsten gave me the right feedback to improve my presentation and didn’t skimp on any important detail. I particularly appreciate how he took the time to explore my content and take the audience’s place to make sure every word hits the mark. He shares his knowledge and his experiences in the corporate world very generously. Karsten is a very stimulating and, when necessary, very calming personality. He really wants the best for his clients and I think he is the best in his field.
