What Your Audience Takes Away
Conflicts, resistance, exhaustion—these aren’t topics that will automatically engage an audience. That’s why I work with stories, relatable characters, and a touch of humor. When people laugh, they listen. And when they listen, they take something away that will still be with them the next day.
No lecture with sixty slides. And no advice from someone who’s never led a team themselves.
Understanding & Resolving Conflicts
In a conflict, people fall into certain roles: one attacks, one withdraws, and one tries to calm things down. If you recognize the pattern, you can change it—without making anyone look bad. We take a look behind the scenes and crack the code. So you can resolve conflicts with ease.
In this content, we take a look behind the scenes of conflicts so we can resolve them more easily in the future
Communication & Leadership
Feel free to smile. This presentation is workshop-style. The audience is actively involved; they’ll feel called out but not attacked, and after this session, they’ll understand how we can communicate so that everyone is (once again) pulling in the same direction.
The toolkit for communication and understanding how to work together much more effectively next time to achieve our goals.
Leading Gen Z and Diverse Teams
This lecture sheds light on how we can work together rather than against one another—and on how to recognize the strengths of those whose reality is furthest from our own.
Real-life stories that will make you smile, plus resources and a mindset to add to your own leadership toolkit—for greater clarity and ease in dealing with people who think differently than you do.
Strategy for Successful Change
“Ms. Schäfer, we understand, but we only have six months.” I hear that a lot.
My clients in administration, IT, engineering, and hospitals are initially skeptical of change—and rightly so. This presentation shows how change can be successfully implemented even in turbulent times.
A sense of ease, clarity, and a strategy for making change work smoothly. A more positive mindset toward change processes, a toolkit for dealing with resistance, and how we can give people a sense of security to foster motivation and personal responsibility during times of change.
