WORKSHOP SERIES FOR TEAMS
CORE SKILLS FOR PROFESSIONALS
3 Sessions. Each 3h.
For 6 weeks. Remote.
Our workshop series has evolved since 2013 from the needs of different innovative, fast-growing digital companies. Together with our customers, we have improved and refined our program from year to year and transferred it to the remote world in early 2020 - with success.
The remote workshops continue to be booked by organizations even though they have all employees working on site again. Our concept offers a special advantage for remote working teams: Through participating in our unique remote workshop series, you learn right away how to work better remotely with your colleagues.
Over the course of several weeks, you can continue your training with our workshop series and change and improve step by step. You can always come back to the sessions with questions and discuss everyday topics with our coaches.

OUR CUSTOMERS SAY...
PROFESSIONALS WHO WORK BETTER TOGETHER – AND ENJOY IT MORE
Leadership development gets a lot of attention. What often gets overlooked: the professionals. The people who do the actual work every day. Who sit in meetings, drive projects forward, coordinate with colleagues and juggle a variety of tools, communication channels and expectations all at once.
If professionals don't have the right skills to work effectively in a hybrid, digital environment, the best leadership structure won't compensate for it. Well-organised teams with strong communication and the right digital capabilities aren't a nice-to-have – they're a decisive performance factor.
The Core Skills Workshop Series is built for exactly these people.
WHAT CORE SKILLS MEANS – AND WHY THEY MATTER MORE THAN EVER
Core Skills are the foundational capabilities that professionals need to be genuinely effective in a modern working environment – beyond their technical expertise. Self-organisation. Communication. Feedback. Using collaboration tools well. Working productively when you're not in the same office. Setting priorities when everything feels urgent.
These skills are not taught in any traditional training programme. Yet they often determine whether someone truly performs at their best – or whether a large part of their energy is lost to friction, misunderstandings and poor self-management.
WHAT THE CORE SKILLS WORKSHOP SERIES CONCRETELY TRAINS
Over several weeks, professionals work on the skills that genuinely matter in today's workplace:
Self-organisation and time management: How do you plan your workday when distractions and meetings break your rhythm?
Team communication: How do you write and speak so messages land – without misunderstandings or endless follow-up questions?
Giving and receiving feedback: How does feedback become a natural habit rather than an occasional event?
Hybrid collaboration: What tools and rituals help remote and on-site colleagues work equally well together?
Priorities and focus: How do you identify what truly matters – and protect the time you need for it?
All content is directly oriented toward the daily reality of professionals in digitally working organisations.
FOR TEAMS WHO WANT TO GET BETTER TOGETHER
The series works best for entire teams or departments – because then they develop a shared language together. Shared rituals. Shared habits. This is far more powerful than sending individuals to a course and asking them to try to change things on their own.
The series runs remotely, in hybrid format or on-site – depending on what fits your working culture.
With consultants, trainers and coaches located in Berlin and Lisbon, we are supporting teams all over Europe.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
What's the difference between the Core Skills Series and the Leadership Workshop Series?
The Leadership Workshop Series is designed for managers and covers topics like leadership identity, team development and decision-making. The Core Skills Series is for professionals and focuses on self-organisation, communication, digital collaboration and productive day-to-day working.
How many sessions are in the series?
That depends on the format you choose. The standard is 3 sessions of 3 hours each over several weeks. We discuss this in the initial consultation.
How many participants is the series suited for?
Optimal for 6–10 people from a team or department. Learning together is more effective than individual training.
Can leaders and professionals join together?
That's possible, but not always recommended – because the topics and tone differ. If needed, we can design a format that works well for mixed groups.
Is the series also available in German?
Yes. All content is available in both English and German.
How quickly do we see results?
Often after just the first session, participants report approaching things differently in their day-to-day work. The biggest effects emerge over the course of the full series.
