This term indicates the ability to recognise not only our own feelings but also other people\u2019s emotions, in order to be aware of ourselves and our surroundings. Another skill that was tackled during this session was <strong>empatie. <\/strong>Through a series of exercises the participants were able to learn more about practising empathy, self-control, self-motivation and building a connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A good teacher is also a good<strong> <\/strong>leader of the classroom because they have to give motivation and guide their students to reach a specific goal. <strong>Leadership<\/strong> comes in different forms, but not all of them are effective in every situation. For this reason, participants were asked to think about the main characteristics of the leaders they admire and reflected on the different leadership styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most important skills for working in a team is <strong>effective communication<\/strong>. The participants focused their attention on the different communication styles: aggressive, passive, passive-aggressive and assertive.

They learnt tips and tricks on how to present yourself, how to control your body language and your nonverbal communication. In order to gain confidence the participants were asked to prepare a short one-minute speech to perform in front of the class and to put at use the skills they had learned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_7962-scaled.jpg\" data-id=\"11065\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11065 lazyload\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"675\" height=\"1200\" data-id=\"11065\" src=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_7962-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11065\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_7962-scaled.jpg 675w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_7962-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_7962-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_7962-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_7962-864x1536.jpg 864w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_7962-1152x2048.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_7962-7x12.jpg 7w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The last topic of this course was <strong>Conflict and stress management.<\/strong> Working with people can be difficult sometimes and we do not always know how to deal with conflicts. By sharing their own experiences they realised how these are common situations and that conflict doesn\u2019t necessarily have to bring a negative outcome, but it is also a possibility for growth and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This course allowed participants to confront themselves with each other and learn from their shared experiences. Each participant had a different background that certainly contributed to the growth of the group as a whole. In addition, networking was also possible because of the planned cultural activities, showing that learning does not happen only inside a classroom!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zjist\u011bte v\u00edce o tomto kurzu <a href=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/cs\/mekke-dovednosti\">zde.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Soft skills are nowadays becoming more and more important in the context of professional and daily life.
