Playing is one of the key elements in all of my trainings. In the intercultural field, there is a huge amount of games available and I also use some of them when working with people in other soft skills areas, too. One aspect of unfolding oneself‘s full potential is building respectful and honest relationships, and therefore working with games is a valuable tool for practising that.  

Playing helps participants to open up and to „feel“ what they have learnt theoretically. This evokes powerful emotions, and as we know, emotions have a remaining effect on our subconscious.

Each time when we play one of my favourite games there are a lot of wow-effects as a result. People gain a deeper insight, they learn about the different „normalities“ and how they react when someone else acts according to her/his own normality.

Working with games in trainings makes learning and selfreflection easier and fun and helps to create a more open atmosphere. I am very much looking forward to my participants and how they enjoy and benefit from those lively and effective methods.

P.S.: I took this picture last week in Venice. I like it, because to me, it expresses so much: fun, ease and a kind of Italian feeling („Italianità“).
