This course provides clear recommendations to develop trust in both personal and business settings. Trust is key for high performance. I also enjoyed the concept of into-me-see to structure communication and understanding of each other needs.

Explicaciones claras y ejemplos practicos que me permiten comprender y aplicar en el dia dia lo aprendido para mejorar el trabajo con mi equipo y construir relaciones solidas y duraderas

Es interesante la información compartida. Totalmente ciento, muchos puntos de vista con visiones distintas en un mismo equipo, eventualmente habrá problemas operacionales si no hay un dialogo correcto y si no estamos dispuestos a escuchar a la contraparte. Ciertamente nadie tenemos la razón total, siempre es importante escuchar con atención cuando alguien nos hace comentarios, de entrada la otra persona tiene interés y expone su punto de vista, por lo que si compartimos el nuestro, podemos llegar a un resultado mejor a que si seguimos trabajando con una visión aislada.

this was a very interesting course. I feel this concept is one that I will work to try and apply to my everyday life. Work and home, Family, Friends, Co workers, Boss. Conflict has Always been an issue for me. I do not do well at all with conflict. but maybe this will help me.

The course truly enlightened me in not only building but also maintaining and sustaining good relationships. Furthermore, it has showcased the possibility of using it at home as well. The step by step approach/process is easy to follow. I shall practise, practise, practise! Thank you Peter Matthies! You were clear and concise, straightforward and easy to follow.

The skills were very practical and made a lot of sense. Some of the examples used were a bit outdated though (eg a couple hosting a dinner party and the wife getting annoyed at the husband for not helping... I think an adult man should know exactly what is expected in this situation in 2022).

1) Expecting some situational based shot videos, instead of an explanation of the same. Which takes more time to understand. 2) More theoretical explanation at a stretch moves the listener away from Active listening. So more interactive based sessions, videos can be foreseen.
By Valerie Rasines on 7/4/2022
Balance of theory and scenario based examples of how to put the theory and principles in practice. I do find the intro of the sections though a bit at odds iwth the teaching. what do 3 women in tak tops have to do with the topic. That's a disconnect.

Relevant examples..liked the content too..Observations - Feeling - State is nice....managing conflits..Actor -Reactor mode was nice too..the facilitator could be more engaging..
