Module 5’s durable-close template stopped us from writing agreements that sounded like court settlements. We now revisit after six weeks by default.

Anja Vogt
Anja has facilitated employment consultations across logistics, retail, and public-adjacent employers in northern Germany. She focuses on mediation that stays practical when calendars are crowded and emotions are already high.
FAQ
Is this legal training for German labour law?
No. We teach mediation craft and consultation timing. For binding legal advice you should consult qualified counsel. That limitation is intentional — we do not blur facilitation with legal representation.
Can works council members attend?
Yes. Mixed cohorts often produce the richest practice, provided confidentiality norms are agreed at the start.
How much live practice is included?
Every module includes a role lab. Modules 3 and 4 run extended simulations with facilitator feedback.
What if our conflict already escalated?
We can still coach handoff quality, but the program’s sweet spot is earlier. A Clarity Session can help you decide.
Learner notes
I wanted more industry-specific manufacturing examples. Still, the consent architecture from Module 2 transferred cleanly to our shop-floor disputes.
