"THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX and just do things differently or THE WAY YOU LIKE IT. Usually you not only enjoy this way of working but you are also quite successful."
Christine Walker
And if on some occasion this does not work, well...
"It's not the success that brings us forward, but the disasters".
Coco Chanel
When meeting Christine in sports or salsa dancing in the evenings, one would not immediately expect that the mother of two children has built-up and successfully leads a company with 30 employees and has become a market leader. She actively coaches executives in terms of efficiency, furthers talents, globally connects the best top assistants, assists in career planning, has written a book titled "Free time for managers!" and is engaged as Board Member. All of this is only possible with a great team, effective communication, a bit of improvisation, stress management and a touch of humor.
She shares the ingredients to this recipe for success through informative and entertaining presentations, as well as individual coaching sessions, worldwide, on land and at sea, in person and virtually.
BRIEF BIOGRAPHY - CAREER HIGHLIGHTS - COMPETENCIES
How do I tick? How do you tick? How do I recognize thought patterns, understand behaviors, and reactions? How do I persuade through nonverbal communication, such as body language, tone of voice, and speaking style?
Learn more about thinking types, the 4-color model by Max Lüscher, and the 4-ears model by Prof. Friedemann Schulz von Thun. You will receive tips on how to make "communicating with each other" easier and how to better understand non-verbal signals. Learn to interpret body language and facial expressions and immerse yourself in the magic of "silent" messages.
Duration: 90 minutes (including interactive exercises and Q&A session)
Why do we sometimes argue over trivial matters and "hear what you don't say"? Why do we often find it difficult to bring a sense of lightness to challenging situations and resolve conflicts? What role does "high status" and "low status" play, and how can we recognize them?
In this enlightening presentation, you will learn how to resolve conflicts with a touch of wit and the art of improvisation, enabling you to navigate daily life with even more grace.
Can you say "no" without feeling guilty and convincingly prioritize your own needs? Do you usually do what you truly want, or is perfectionism and the "helper syndrome" your constant companions? After this presentation, it will be time to put an end to that. Learn how to say "no" in a friendly and convincing manner. Discover how to confidently navigate through life with an upright posture and positive body language. It's time to step into the spotlight. Shyness is a thing of the past!
