Abstract
Communication is vital for organisational success; however, internal communication is often neglected. This study explored how internal training can improve communication skills when using Transactional Analysis (TA). A Swiss organisation that supports jobseekers to reintegrate into the workplace was used as a case study. Applying Anderson’s (2006) analytic autoethnography, I participated in a TA training for personal consultants and administrative staff. Analytic autoethnography includes being a full member of a group under investigation, reflective writing, being visible as-in the study, and committing to a theoretical agenda. Autoethnographic work aims to understand the various layers of a phenomenon (e.g., TA training) and to connect personal experience to the dimension of culture. As a result of reflection and abstraction, the Tree of Trust illustrates that long-lasting TA applications can provide a safe learning culture, enabling people to trust themselves and each other and to learn effectively in a group.
