Heartful words, vibrant culture.

Cultural change in organisations begins with a new language.

The Brave Dialog Process

Feedback is highly emotional. Always. No matter if the feedback is appreciative or unpleasant, it takes courage to engage in goal-oriented and truthful dialog. And this grows when everyone involved understands the logic of emotions.

With the Brave Dialog Process, you can initiate a lively dialog culture in your company. In our Workshops we combine emotional self-management techniques with a feedback approach based on Noble Friendship.

Just 3 steps to a first-class feedback culture

1. Connect to self

Through self-reflection in the driver’s seat of your emotions

You discover where you feel safe and when and how you can leave your comfort zone. You will learn to take control of your emotions, understand your own motivations and identify and change limiting beliefs.

2. Connect to others

Noble Friendship for a courageous culture of dialog and feedback

You will learn new words that describe precise meanings and ways of thinking that are relevant to our culture of dialog. You will also learn concrete feedback skills for giving and receiving and develop skills to act more intelligently in difficult situations.

3. Connect to culture

Transfer into the corporate culture

The new skills and tools are linked to the organization's vision and values. Conscious language and a common mindset are of central importance. Courageous dialogues start individually, grow by connecting with others and thrive in a reflective environment.

WORKSHOPS

Brave Dialog INTENSIV

2 days in your company / for beginners & advanced participants

HR managers, transformation managers, agile coaches, everyone who navigates cultural change

The BRAVE DIALOG PROCESS promotes open dialog across hierarchical boundaries. Ensuring a lively culture of dialog within the company is a challenge. It requires people's personal knowledge and skills, but also supportive structures and opportunities within the organization.

A lively dialog begins with emotional self-management. It requires a common language and a feedback approach that combines boldness and compassion. And last but not least, the transfer into the culture - through lived practice and consistency.

In this workshop, we teach tools for dealing with feelings and skills for communicating on difficult topics or with challenging people.

If you are planning to roll out Brave Dialog skills in your organisation we are happy to train and coach internal process facilitators for you.

1. Check

Does the BRAVE DIALOG fit in with your corporate values, goals and culture? Do you already have internal ambassadors for lively communication and a feedback culture?

2. Workshop with pioneers

Multipliers from the Organisator are invited to attend (HR, transformation, cultural change). We provide tools for dealing with emotions, helpful skills for communicating on difficult topics or with challenging people. On day 2, the interfaces with values, goals and mission are worked out.

3. Next steps

Do you want to scale the BRAVE DIALOG PROCESS in your organisation and use it for cultural change? Do you want to become largely independent of external consultants? Or continue to purchase Brave Dialog workshops externally?

4. Facilitator training

On request: training and supervision by Brave Dialog Facilitator. You will be trained as a group on site and successively deployed in the workshops.

Coaching voucher

A total of 2-4 hours, booked as required, with a coach personally on topics that are not discussed in the large group.

Tutorial videos

15 learning videos are provided to reinforce BRAVE DIALOG and to train the facilitator. This allows the content to be refreshed and deepened again and again.

Review

A review takes place after approximately 10-12 weeks. Time to celebrate the transfer successes achieved so far. What comes next? An activity for yourself? An activity for/with others? Where can you help?

The Journey is on

Brave Dialog TEAM

1-2 days in your company / for beginners & advanced participants

For all team constellations

The challenges of team collaboration are high. Some teams work together for a very long time - embedded in hierarchical structures and processes. Some have to find each other quickly and disband again after a project. There are professional and personal challenges. Cultural differences often have an impact on team collaboration.

A BRAVE DIALOG TEAM-Workshop is helpful for all constellations. It allows the team to press the stop button for a limited time and step away from the daily challenges. Everyone learns the methods of self-reflection and communication and practises them together. After the workshop, the shared knowledge can be used to tackle the respective challenges in the team. Whether it is deciding on common team values, starting team development, addressing difficult situations and conflicts and solving them with the new mindset and the skills learnt.

1. Check

Do you have the feeling that your team could work together more smoothly and effectively if they consider themselves as a learning team?

2. Team Workshop

This workshop is available in different time formats: 2 days, 1.5 days or 2 x 0.5 days. Let us clarify together what makes sense for your team. We recommend the longest version that is possible for your team. The shorter formats offer fewer opportunities for practicing and exchanging ideas.

3. Transfer

At the end of the workshop, there are suggestions to apply the new tools into everyday life. How can the new tools be integrated, motivation maintained and what has been learned practiced?

Brave Dialog OPEN

2 days / for beginners & advanced participants

For anyone who wants to bring about change through language and relationships

Of course, a lively dialog also makes sense in your personal life. Conversations are often not started because we are afraid of the unpleasant feelings and consequences. Or we can't find the right words because there are unresolved resentments.

In this seminar, we create order - in your head and in your heart. We will teach you how to sort and prepare yourself so that a genuine dialog becomes possible. You will learn a feedback approach based on Noble Friendship. With this new mindset, it will then be easier for you to conduct even unpleasant conversations with ease.

1. Check

You want to improve your personal dialog skills. Become more courageous and open in conversations. Stand up for your values and find the right words to do so. Then you've come to the right place.

2. Seminar

In this 2-day seminar, we teach the mindset of Noble Friendship and the interplay of give and take in the Brave Dialog. You will gain know-how about the dynamics of emotions and train skills for your self-control. We support your future Brave Dialogs with focused forms of communication.

3. Transfer

With the BRAVE DIALOG PROCESS, we want to support an open and lively relationship culture in society. The transfer of the dialog expertise into your friendships, customer relationships, partnerships and self-dialogs is part of the seminar. You will receive practical steps to apply this knowledge into your everyday life.

Das sagen unsere Teilnehmer:innen

Years ago, when I first watched the movie "The Matrix", one phrase resonated deeply with me: "Know thyself". Recently, I had the opportunity to immerse myself in a real-life "Neo" experience at the BRAVE DIALOG Workshop hosted by Lufthansa Group Cultural Journey. Over two transformative days I dived deep into my emotions, beliefs and connections with others. This workshop ranks among the top in my career journey. The depth of self-discovery achieved here is unparalleled.

The BRAVE DIALOG PROCESS enables us to connect colleagues with themselves first and foremost on a human level. Reconnecting with yourself, feeling what moves you and questioning which beliefs guide you through the day is incredibly valuable. I wouldn't want to miss this experience myself and am grateful that Christiane brought this concept to the Lufthansa Group, where we are currently scaling it.
