Supervision and Team Development

Supervision

We offer supervision especially for professional groups and employees with advisory activities within TUM. The focus is on the reflection of the counseling situations. In the form of case supervision, employees can bring in their own topics and cases from their everyday work that are reflected and worked on in a session moderated by the supervisor under a specific question. The case supervision serves the quality assurance of e.g. consultations and at the same time the relief of the employees, but also their development, since reflection and learning processes are initiated.
The TUM finances a maximum of 12 hours, the supervisor invoices us directly.

Team development / Change Processes

We support team development processes and change processes through workshops with internal / external coaches. The goal is to improve cooperation in order to ensure the performance of a team / group.
The TUM finances a maximum of 12 hours, the invoice is sent directly to us by the coach(es).

Not everything always runs smoothly during your studies. Being it an exam you cannot pass, an overwhelming amount of learning material or mercilessly running out of time. The team accompanies you in all situations in which you are not making the progress in your studies you would like to. The offer supports you in challenging times – to ensure you to be successful and satisfied in your studies.
