Office for Conflict Counselling

People, teams and organisations that strive to develop depend on diverse views being openly expressed and debated.

How this is done - and how misunderstandings and frictions are dealt with - defines an organisation’s communication and conflict culture. Never forget: in communication, misunderstanding is the norm. The risk of misunderstanding each other is therefore far greater than the chance of instant mutual understanding.
 

The Büro für Konfliktberatung (Office for Conflict Counselling) works to address conflicts and challenging situations and supports their constructive resolution. 
 

It is less difficult to solve problems than to live with them.
