The course aims to equip participants with cognitive and learning skills, which will enhance their individual abilities to become successful professional communicators within diverse business-related contexts. More specifically, the purpose is to provide tools to overcome mind level barriers, which prevent people from making the most of their intellectual, creative, and emotional capabilities for professional purposes. Additionally, the course advocates the notion of diverse thinking and the way in which it can be used to improve communication and collaboration within and across (multinational) organizations. The course draws from research from the fields of behavioral science, psychology, linguistics, (dialogic) learning and neuroscience.
