Tame the STRESS - how to give yourself respite in difficult times?

My first approach to Analysis
I do not count transactional as a success. I reached for Eric Berne's book "What do people play at?" and... beat me 🙂
However, this did not put the brakes on my
curiosity. I was still searching for knowledge
and forms that would allow me to understand and assimilate this knowledge, until I came to the Encounter Group. It's a real meeting place: with fantastic professionals,
with other people in full respect of difference and a safe exchange of views and finally with myself. Yes, Transactional Analysis is for me first and foremost a journey into myself. A bit different, gentle yet accurate and without damage. The training is structured in a way that allows for a gradual understanding of the złransient AT construct at times as well as its internalisation.
Working as an HR Business Partner on a daily basis
day I meet many people and my world is a world filled with relationships, interactions and games. Today, I know what I am playing and when and what others are playing. I face difficult situations more easily and consciously. AT knowledge has also influenced my personal life. I was seduced by the concept of
"redecision", which in combination
with a pertinent but not easy to read
the needs of himself and those close to him,
that my immediate environment is filled with love and tenderness. The knowledge and experience of AT accompanies me in my everyday life, as the effects of the elements and constructs implemented and applied, even just partially, give tangible and beautiful results.

In my professional life I work
in various roles, from coach,
mentor, coach, sometimes also
consultant, both individually
as well as in groups. All roles
require continuous development, learning
learning new things, unlearning it
what is unnecessary and even
constituting a burden.
To accompany me in my development
I always look for the professional ones,
proven partners and such
is definitely the Meeting Group.
I began my journey with an analysis

I went into the HRmaster programme at the Meeting Group with a base knowledge of AT. I wanted to deepen it and think about its use in our organisation. I had three main objectives, which, incidentally, I discussed with the trainer conducting the initial interview. The element of contracting, one of the basic tools of AT, came up early on in our journey together. We were looking at the extent to which the expectations I was coming with were achievable within the offer. Firstly, I wanted to look at the organisation I work for in a coherent way. "Through the eyes of AT" to look at the individual, the teams and the organisation as a whole to better understand what is happening in these dimensions. To look specifically at our HR processes, with AT knowledge. The second objective with which I started was to look, through AT knowledge, for answers and solutions in the difficulties we face in the organisation. Equally important for me was a personal third need, namely to look at myself in my role as an HR professional. With the help of AT, I decided to analyse and self-reflect on how I act as an HR manager, how this action affects the organisation and what I could do differently to increase effectiveness and respond to business needs. In a nearly year-long developmental process, I realised my needs. I deepened my understanding of previously known constructs, implemented some of them into professional practice, and got bits of knowledge that were completely new to me. We worked in an ideal environment for me to learn and develop. Kasia Balcerkiewicz is a trainer with powerful knowledge and coaching skills, attentive to the whole process and at the same time hearing and responding to the individual needs of the participants. We worked in a small group with intense exchanges, regular signs of recognition. Open and safe. We represented different branches and roles, which provided a broad perspective. In conclusion, we all found the time transformative.
The Meeting Group is also a beautiful place, organised and run by a team with great attention to detail. There's a table for communal meals, there's a space where you have one-to-one conversations, there's a garden. There is a kitchen where you treat yourself to the tea you like and a word (a brilliant idea!). Such an atmospheric home with created options from which you choose yourself.
I recommend the HR Master programme to anyone who is interested in deeper work and understanding. To all those who want to build organisations based on relationships in an OK-OK position and individual autonomy. The HR Master programme provides a great tool base to realise such a vision. I firmly believe, I know, that this vision realised in business translates into concrete business results.

I have just completed a year-long journey
development based on two main strands: Transactional Analysis and the exchange of HR experiences.
Why it was worth the trip
on a journey through Transactional Analysis?
Above all, to dive into Transactional Analysis - I mean it, and dive, not just glide across the surface. During the programme, we went far beyond those associated with Transactional Analysis: states of Self, transactions and games, discovering a wealth of
concepts and tools developed by transactional analysts that greatly facilitate the understanding of human behaviour, communication and relationships. Foundations of Transactional Analysis, including
holding in the OK-OK position,
The aspiration for life autonomy, as well as for intimacy in relationships, are very close to my heart. Their translation into business language has made it significantly easier for me to
defining my vision of the work as
HR professional and manager. With this
the conscious management programme
and the Ok-Ok attitude are not platitudes,
but a daily practice (sometimes difficult, sometimes with stumbling blocks) that translates into cooperation and the achievement of the company's business goals.
The journey is also worth taking
due to the good company.
I am referring here to Kasia Balcerkiewicz,
which has excelled in its role
champion - mentor - consultant -
guide, or Teacher by
the big "N" and its team from Group
Meeting. I found that the school
can be student-friendly,
supportive and pleasant (thank you
for fruit, bread and delicious teas,
as well as the flowers and garden outside the window).
I felt looked after, fed with knowledge and valuable feedback, and taken seriously. In such
conditions full commitment
in absorbing knowledge and applying it in practice is something completely
natural. The good company was complemented by my travelling companions - a group of wonderful, open-minded, ready to
development of 'fellow professionals', with whom we absorbed knowledge while sharing our thoughts and experiences, which was a very
A valuable addition to the programme and a value in itself. I very much appreciated the intimacy of the group, which gave us plenty of time to discuss our 'difficult cases' and achieve an intimacy in the relationship that was very nurturing.
The year dedicated to the HR Master programme has been a time for me to work for myself and for the organisation I work for and in which I pursue the vision of the
working in harmony with the AT. Provided by
me a lot of inspiration, topics to
discussions and practical tools.

I urge and of which I want to be a part

Why trust the Meeting Group?
First and foremost - the people. Experienced trainers with a wealth of knowledge, their professionalism and their way of being and teaching made me decide to
to participate in the HR Master programme.
My adventure with Transactional Analysis
began with webinars: first
I attended a workshop on games, then completed training 101 and explored the topic of games in more depth. This sparked in me the desire to continue learning about this

offered me to study the AT School, focusing not only on the theory itself, but also on its practical application in the HR field (as part of the HR Master). This learning included.

influence in organisations, with a focus on team collaboration. As a manager, managing a team, I regularly have to deal with challenges related to the dynamics of change, team development or difficult situations or simply an engaged dialogue. I have found the answers to these aspects of managerial work in Transactional Analysis and the programme of
HR Master. In addition, fact,
that influenced my decision is this,
That the Meeting Group has more than 20 years of experience in promoting and popularising Transactional Analysis! It organises conferences and workshops with international experts. This long experience translates into professionalism, knowledge and effective learning. Today, for me, AT is one of the most practical concepts that works well in business, which can be used in teamwork and interpersonal relationships. Why trust the Meeting Group?
Many years of experience have allowed
Group Meeting to create the perfect
learning environment, providing support from the best experts and trainers in Transactional Analysis. During the training we analysed many
practical cases and discussed individual questions from participants, which greatly facilitated the learning process.
Before the training, I wondered,
how I can develop as a manager further, as I have already completed many courses. I have worked with various training institutions, but it is Transactional Analysis that has impressed me the most - both in terms of concept and genius
Eric Berne. AT theory offers tools that I can use not only when working on myself, but also when managing a team, for example when diagnosing problems or resolving conflicts. This is a huge added value. When I was wondering what to do next in my
development path, I came across
the AT concept.
Is it worth it?
Definitely yes! I believe that such
programme should be standard already at the stage of study for all,
who will work with people.
What did the training give me?
It was a fascinating adventure, allowing me to develop both myself and my soft skills as a manager. I attended each session with full awareness and was very curious to implement my newly acquired knowledge into my everyday life. Transactional Analysis opened my eyes to many aspects of interpersonal interactions - from hidden transactions, the importance of recognition signs, contracting on three levels and finally the importance of striving for authenticity and autonomy in relationships in an OK-OK position. I heartily recommend HR Master, not only to HR professionals but to all managers, because HR Master is an AT in terms of looking at organisations and teams. It opens up new perspectives on the understanding of human relations and the ability to respond to their dynamics from a psychological

HR Master is not a short training course after which you experience an intense fascination that lasts for several weeks. It is a challenging journey during which you learn the individual elements of transactional analysis. You have time to understand it, practice it, so that you can apply it naturally in your daily work. After this training, your work in HR takes on a new look. By choosing to work with the Meeting Group, your organisation and you will develop your potential without losing your character. You will develop a direction for change that is in line with your business philosophy, and which will allow you to organise and name the processes taking place in your organisation. The Meeting Group's trainers don't just teach about AT, they apply AT and during each HR Master module they show you that it works.

Transactional analysis is my favourite communication theory - easy to understand and apply even for people without a psychology background. Participating in a year-long intensive course in transactional analysis for HR professionals (HR Master) allowed me not only to see the processes happening in the company in a broader context and to learn effective tools for interviewing employees, but also to structure my role in the organisation.

I have searched for a long time and have almost lost faith in finding a people management development programme that is grounded in a foundation/theory/true knowledge/reliable basis that is recognised, trusted (and I know a little bit about), while providing such highly practical tools and methods for the HR professional. This focus on the challenges, issues and tasks we face when working in HR roles is something unique. It can be seen in the design of the entire programme, the cases and tasks we discuss and the care taken in selecting participants ???? It's tailored to a well-heeled HR role. I come back from each congress with some work-life topics, reflections or ideas, because in addition to the professional context, the HR Master is also the basis for many - important for me - personal discoveries and self-development.
