We propose a workshop based on a game/logical puzzle that requires precise communication, as well as organizing the way data is passed between each other under time pressure. The game is designed to sharpen communication challenges in online work mode. To increase participant engagement, the entire activity is maintained in a playful and light-hearted manner.

From this experience, participants draw conclusions, which are then transformed into their own set of best practices for effective communication in their own team during a session moderated by the trainer.

We assume that participants are the best experts in what serves them and what blocks them in communication. Our task is to help them formulate a method that will be understandable and ready for implementation by the team.

The situations that may be challenging in the game serve as a starting point for discussing elements of effective communication based on empathy, such as using „I” statements, refraining from judgments, focusing on facts, giving and receiving feedback, or paraphrasing.

The entire experience concludes with a re-entry into roles in scenes reminiscent of the game or taken from the work environment, where participants can experience the quality of communication using reinforcing communication and selected principles firsthand. An important part of the meeting will be the repeated work in pairs, sharing their impressions of the practiced elements of empathetic communication.

We believe that the key to the communication workshop is the mutual building of trust among its participants, so the entire workshop will begin with a series of exercises allowing participants to better understand each other from different perspectives.

If you want to learn more about these or other scenarios, let us know – we’ll prepare an offer.
