Our relationships are built on communication, and our communication determines our relationships. What initially sounds somewhat trivial reveals itself upon closer inspection to be an important success factor not only for educators. What is communication? What happens during relationship building? And what influence does this have on our impact on others? These are the core topics of the first part of this book. The second part focuses on the application possibilities for educators. How can I use my communication patterns to move a group? How can I reach a more challenging audience? The author provides a very practical introduction to the most important theoretical foundations, guiding readers through numerous examples and exercises to engage with their own communication behavior and offering practical tips for implementation.
