I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to two wonderful people whom I first met 7 years ago (...).
Our last meeting was yet another break-through point in my professional growth, my self-knowledge and understanding of other people. Above all, the training taught me how to plan and live a meaningful life.
I have the great pleasure of recommending Kasia and Darek as professional business partners who will accurately diagnose the group's needs and effectively assist the client in solving his problems. An innovative approach to conveying philosophical and psychological knowledge to training participants makes Kasia and Darek the most unique trainers I have ever worked with. Their workshops are always highly motivating, they give me an energy boost and they inspire me to continue searching for what we call the meaning of life.

As a trainer who works for a large foreign corporation, I took part in many training courses and workshops in Poland and abroad.
Mediator's "Team Management" training was a break-through experience in my professional and personal life. In short, the course provided me with a new outlook on seemingly unimportant situations. I have developed a&nbps;conscious and structured approach to situations that I had always considered to be important.
I recommend this course to all those who have seen everything as well as those who are only beginning to learn the ropes – you can't overestimate the power of higher awareness.

Initially, my expectations were based on what I had experienced during other training courses and workshops, namely the development of effective work tools (...). It turned out, however, that we would receive much more. Kasia and Darek led us through a group analysis process which provided me with an in-depth understanding of the underlying causes of my actions and other people's behavior.
During every workshop with Mediator, I expanded my level of awareness as a human being, manager, investor, father and husband. I participated in three Mediator courses.
When working with Mediator's trainers, you have to be ready for change, but in my case, every change was positive, and it enabled me to beat a crisis.
Every time we examine the nature of a problem, we diagnose its root causes. Mediator's trainers provide me with the relevant knowledge as well as tools for implementing the new skills in practice.

We have been working with Mediator on a myriad of projects over the past 5 years. All projects have been developed based on the results of an extended audit covering every area of operation (...). They were thoroughly consulted and modified to meet the specific needs of our business.
Various exercises and tasks were planned in between sessions, and the results were discussed in joint effort. All courses had highly attractive content and form which built the participants' trust and involvement. Our staff members found the learned skills to be highly useful not only in the workplace, but also in their personal lives.
Mediator's trainers are extremely flexible and innovative, and they swiftly respond to any changes that arise during the project. The communication process was always open, and Mediator's trainers and consultants were always available during the training and in between sessions.

selected modules from various closed training sessions:
Training for burnt-out employees part I
Competence development can be as exhausting and intensive as work. Training can be a source of burnout. We offer to change that. Instead of providing employees with new information, we propose to use the existing assets in an unconventional way. During this training, the participants will learn to set personal goals and effectively carry them out.

Coaching – improving employee competencies part I

Conducting difficult workplace conversations
If difficult situations such as disciplining or discharging employees concerned only the employee and the manager, the issue would be far less complicated. The involved parties' conduct in such situations depends on their personal standards, class and good will. Another very important factor that comes into play are the attitudes of the employees who observe the situation. These critical moments best illustrate the manager's attitude towards his employees, his class and style. During difficult conversations, the manager sets communication standards in the company. The "shock wave" propagated by such a situation may affect the employees for years to come, and the manager may be permanently labeled by its outcome.

Regardless of its goals, level of education, sex or race, every group of people goes through various learning stages in the cooperation process. Group members have to go through every phase of that process in order to learn how to cooperate, build mutual relations, loyalty and support. Those stages take place in a strict order, and they are governed by a specific set of rules.

Assertiveness in professional communication
Assertiveness is often defined as the golden mean between aggression and submissiveness. A balanced approach in interpersonal communication brings better results. Assertiveness requires greater effort and concentration, but the results outweigh the costs many-fold.
