About
The Transform4Europe Alliance invites academic staff holding top and middle managerial positions at T4EU universities (i.e. deans, vice-deans, heads of doctoral schools, heads of institutes, degree programme directors etc.) to participate in the webinar ‘Fostering People’s Engagement – motivation and empowerment through communication’, which will take place on 13 March 2025 via the MS Teams platform. The language of instruction is English.
The webinar is designed to equip participants with the tools to use argumentation as a motivating and empowering resource in leadership communication. Through structured and effective messaging, leaders can reduce communication barriers and engage more meaningfully with their teams.
We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity and register for the webinar to further develop your leadership competencies. Registration will remain open until 11 March.

Content
The first part of the training will focus on argument learning – what is an argument and how clear, effective, structured messaging can reduce communication barriers.
In the second part, we will look at how the argument model can be used to engage in a motivating and empowering way. In the leader’s toolbox, clear self-expression is essential and helps foster collaboration. To this end, we will also look at how to respond empathetically to the argument.
