» Our trainings: learning through practice
Spontaneous conversation – the »ambush«
Someone suddenly approaches you and
asks for information you either cannot, don’t want to and are not allowed to give spontaneously.
How do you deal with such »ambushes«?
How do you stay respectful and still maintain your command of the situation?
The statement – getting your message across
It is important in communication to not beat around the bush. But how can you get your message across concisely using simple means?
The main thing here is to be clear about your
own intention and express it effectively.
Conversations with potential for conflict
We have all had conversations with
colleagues, supervisors or external stakeholders where criticism was expressed. Learn in this training how to bring these conversations to a constructive resolution.
Lectures, speeches and presentations
A lively lecture, rousing speech, or vivid
presentation sticks in the mind and can have
great impact. We’ve all seen these as an audience member. Learn how to make people remember you and what you have to say. We achieve this by working on and developing your strengths.
» Exercises and analyses
»Practical and individual learning takes center place«
We clarify your personal needs and interests before getting started. Inhouse trainings can be tailored precisely to your needs, and are complemented by accompanying, specially designed handouts.
»All exercises are filmed, analyzed and can be taken home for further use.«
After the training, you will receive a certificate, and your video recordings will be sent confidentially. The recordings contain personal recommendations, so that you can absorb what you have learned from watching yourself on film.
I will summarize the most important aspects of your training in an individual analysis. Following the course, you can contact me at any time if you feel the need.
»Training in small groups, if required with certified specialists.«
I work with a team of experts that I put together depending on your individual needs. These range from a lawyer for dealing appropriately with the works council to media experts (also incl. English native speakers) as well as actors, and qualified camera technicians who know how to show you »in your best light«.
» Methods
As part of the training, you will work on your own »case« from your workplace environment or private life. This will allow you to apply and consolidate what you have learned in practice.
In addition to practical exercises, you will learn communication and conflict-resolution models that underpin the techniques learned, and can be adapted to meet your own specific needs.
These include:
Transactional Analysis by Eric Berne
Drama Triangle by Stephen Karman
Active Listening by Carl Rogers
Non-violent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg
The Four-Sides Model by Friedemann Schulz von Thun
» My training principles
Cooperation instead of confrontation
Translate your convictions into outside action
Identify and use your room to maneuver
Lead with clarity instead of severity
We believe what we see: Body language matters
» Target group
This training is aimed at board members, as well as executives, who are required to speak and answer questions on a daily basis – in either German or English. It is also ideal for young talents who want to learn how to conduct themselves in professional settings and improve their communication skills.

Competence and experience with a feelgood guarantee
Bernd-Lorenz Walter is a highly experienced, empathetic and attentive trainer! He has excellent observation skills and gets across the important points of any training course clearly and in a way that is sensitive to the individual learner. You never feel like you have a “teacher” before you, but always a coach and trainer! I’m already looking forward to the next training/seminar with him!

» B. L. Walter
When an experienced communications trainer asked me 15 years ago if I had ever considered working as a trainer myself, I was hesitant at first.
But I soon realized that it was exactly my thing.
Identifying talents in others, supporting them in reaching their goals at work, and encouraging them to dare something new are always exciting challenges for me and a source of joy at shared successes.
I began by giving classic media trainings but have now expanded my portfolio to include conflict and crisis training. I also support and accompany change processes in multinational companies and business associations.
As a coach and trainer, I work exclusively with executives, many of whom have remained loyal clients over the years.
My trainings are founded on tried and tested principles from the areas of psychology and communications science. However, in my experience, good training requires a lot more than just techniques and instruments. It is vital that the training is adapted to fit your situation and achieve your specific goals.
That is why my training sessions are as individual as the people who take part in them. And good fun is a vital ingredient that is never missing. Training success relies on us building a trustful working relationship, and on your willingness to reinvent yourself.
