TAILORED TRAINING FOR COMPANIES
A process change meets resistance. Feedback sounds sharper than intended. One person takes over a meeting while another struggles to contribute. These familiar situations often reveal different expectations and communication styles, rather than a lack of commitment.
ProContext communication workshops give teams space to slow down these conversations and try again. Nima uses discussion, reflection and role-play to connect insights to what participants actually say and hear. The emphasis is on practical tools people can use in meetings, feedback conversations and day-to-day cooperation.
Communication
Teams, managers and professionals who want more constructive conversations, clearer feedback and better cooperation at work.
MAKE IT REAL
In a role-play shared by Nima, an outgoing colleague proposes a process change to a quieter colleague. In the second round, the quieter participant asks about the purpose, explores the impact and requests time to think. The conversation changes when both people have room to contribute.
FROM TOPIC TO PRACTICE
Practise checking what someone means before preparing your answer. Explore questions that clarify the purpose of a request, uncover concerns and help colleagues reach a shared understanding.
Work on sharing observations without turning them into personal judgements. Consider timing, the relationship and the recipient’s perspective, and practise asking for clarification when receiving feedback.
Explore how people differ in the space and time they need to contribute. Practise making room for quieter colleagues, asking for thinking time and adapting your own approach without losing your message.
Use recognisable workplace situations to practise responding to disagreement. Ask about the reasons behind a position, make your own needs clear and explore a next step together.
THREE AREAS. ONE HUMAN APPROACH.
Start with the challenge your team is facing. Together, we shape a workshop that makes it practical, personal and relevant.
Help leaders build trust, take ownership and make space for the people around them. Practical leadership development grounded in everyday working life.
Help international teams understand one another beyond first impressions. Explore how culture shapes feedback, participation and trust at work.

A presentation can start a conversation. Real practice changes it. Nima combines storytelling, reflection and interaction to help people try a different way of working together.
We start with your people, their working environment and the conversations that need to change.
Real workplace situations, role-play and open discussion turn ideas into experiences.
Participants leave with practical tools and personal actions to try with their colleagues.
MEET YOUR FACILITATOR
I’m Nima Sagharichiha, founder of ProContext. Born in Iran and shaped by a career in the Netherlands, I know what it means to find connection across different perspectives.
