Why a communication workshop on a sailing boat?
In everyday working life, there is little time to consciously reflect on your own communication. Misunderstandings are often the reason for conflicts, frictional losses or dissatisfaction in the team. A Communication workshop on a sailing trip offers a unique experience: you experience directly how important clear messages, active listening and trust are - and how strongly they characterise cooperation.

What you can expect from the communication workshop
During the sailing trip, sailing phases alternate with reflection and dialogue. You try out how you give information, how you receive feedback and how you make decisions as a team. The boat makes it immediately clear whether communication is working - and at the same time offers space to try out new things.

Typical topics in the communication workshop

• Clear and understandable communication within the team
• Listening, giving feedback and avoiding misunderstandings
• Recognising and taking into account different personality styles
• Creating trust and achieving goals together
• Reflection on current communication patterns in the company

How a sailing trip strengthens communication
A Communication workshop on board is practical: every action requires coordination. Whether setting sail, changing course or mooring - the manoeuvre will only work if the information flows clearly.
