Action learning, lectures, exercises, discussions, role-plays. Evening session with trainer Alejandra Nettel.
Communication & leadership skills are an absolute essential need for engineers who work in multi-disciplinary complex projects. Just being right won’t make you a successful engineer only. There is a need to cooperate, lead, challenge, coach and influence to get things done.
Do you recognize one or more of the following examples?
- Do people mention that you are being too critical, too black and white in sending the message? Or is your point not always coming across clearly?
- Is getting full commitment for your proposal difficult?
- Are you sometimes getting into discussions not leading to a result?
Having the insight and the essential communication skills, it will help you in your career and will make it easier to deal with the dilemmas of day to day work.
This training is available for open enrollment as well as for in-company sessions.

Designed for engineers
This training package is designed for engineers working in the environment of complex system development. It is highly practical and theoretically sound. You will be working with your personal cases so you can apply what you have learned the next day.
Personal action plan
In the training you will practice and master the skills. As it is not a habit yet (that takes practice) you therefore make, as part of the training plan, a personal action plan that helps you to apply what you have learnt.
Feedback from colleagues
Prior to the training you will carry out a mini 360 degrees enquiry asking colleagues what it is they perceive as your strong and weak points in your communication skills. In the training, we use this enquiry as a basis from which to start learning.
Methods
Certification
Participants will receive a High Tech Institute course certificate for attending this training.

Remarks from participants
"Claus delivered a great course with good levels of interaction. His background in psychology pays dividends for further insight & understanding."
Callum MacArthur – Boskalis Subsea Cables & Flexibles"Was great. A lot of practical exercises and useful information. Training met my expectations; will advise to my colleagues for sure."
Irina Beliaeva – Sioux Embedded Systems B.V."During this training I received practical tips and tricks to improve my communication with clients and colleagues. I realise now why communication with a customer was difficult in a previous project. Currently I have the tools to recognise this and handle these situations better."
M. Mors - Settels Savenije van Amelsvoort"During practical exercises I experienced the strength of applying the theory. With this course anyone can improve their efficiency."
R. Wielinga - Assembléon"I thought I was communicating correctly, now I realise that I talked mainly without the desired effect. Through this course, I came to understand that I can improve this with a number of tools and that these tools help me in accomplishing the effect I desire. During the three training days you get plenty of opportunities to practice and apply the tools with your fellow students. Different characteristics of the other students - with whom you immediately implement the tools you learn - enhance this. All in all, my insight in communication grew."
