Lecturer:

Michael Berndonner is a deep-sea skipper, has crossed the Atlantic twice in a sailing ship together with his wife and 6 children. As a studied communication coach and trainer, he draws exciting parallels to everyday academic and professional life. However, not only as part of a sailing crew, but also in his international professional work, he has learned a lot about group dynamic processes or difficulties and how to solve them in the context of crisis/conflict management.
