Capitalize on your greatest strengths
You probably already have an idea about your personal strengths and weaknesses, what kind of person it is easy to collaborate with and who it can be a little more challenging to work with.
But have you ever reflected on the reasons behind this – and how it might impact your entrepreneurial journey?
In this workshop we apply a tool called JTI (Jungs Type Indicator) used for profiling personality types. Through 4 reflective and engaging exercises you will become more aware of your strong suits and how to utilise these even better, especially in the entrepreneurial processes.
Find out how different personalities interact, how the diversity of profiles can complement each other and what areas you could benefit from developing further.

Capitalize on your greatest strengths
You will get knowledge about how your personal strengths and weaknesses affect your take on the entrepreneurial process.

Realize win-win potentials in negotiations
The best negotiations are not about give and take, but rather about creating a better deal for both parties. The workshop tunes in on how both you and your counterpart(s) can create win-win situations, and you will learn how you can take the lead in such negotiations processes.
The goal of this workshop is to make you a more successful negotiator. This will help you get better deals and develop your business smoother and more efficiently.
