Learning Programs

This dynamic learning program equipped Deutsche Telekom trainees with essential skills in self-awareness, social intelligence, communication, and resilience, empowering them to thrive in their new roles and build strong professional relationships.

The challenge: design a learning program that equips the next generation to thrive in the rapidly evolving digital landscape while fostering personal growth and a sense of community.

Our Work

We co-created, developed and tested a dynamic and interactive 3 day learning journey focused on developing self-awareness, social intelligence, communication skills, and resilience. Through engaging activities, reflections, and group discussions, participants gained valuable tools and insights to enhance their personal and interpersonal effectiveness.

Results

  • Enhanced Self-Awareness: Participants gained a deeper understanding of their strengths, weaknesses, and personal power. They explored how their qualities interact with others and learned how to leverage their strengths for personal and professional growth.
  • Developed Social Intelligence: Through empathy-building exercises and practical tools, participants learned to better understand and connect with others. They practiced seeing situations from different perspectives and developed communication skills to navigate challenges and build stronger relationships.
  • Improved Communication: The session provided hands-on opportunities to practice expressing thoughts and feelings effectively, giving and receiving feedback constructively, and fostering open dialogue.
  • Cultivated Resilience: Participants explored the power of a growth mindset and learned strategies for bouncing back from setbacks, embracing challenges, and persisting in the face of adversity.
  • Fostered Connection: The interactive nature of the session created a safe space for vulnerability, sharing, and deep listening. Participants built stronger connections with each other, fostering a sense of community and support.
