Coherent self-management and working on strengths

Description: Use your own superpowers in a targeted way: This workshop focuses on consciously working with personal strengths. Based on positive psychology, participants will receive impulses on how strengths can be recognised, strengthened and used in a coherent way. Elements from MBSP (Mindfulness-Based Strengths Practice) combine knowledge of strengths with mindfulness and make your own sources of strength tangible. The workshop provides impulses for effectively utilising potential and flourishing both professionally and personally.

Objective:

  • Understanding signature strengths and developing potential with ease
  • The right balance - reflecting on the use of strengths
  • Using strengths in a targeted manner in a professional context and when facing challenges
  • Developing strength-orientated self-management

Emotions - a driver for success and cooperation: In this workshop, participants will learn how emotions can be used specifically for (self-)leadership and cooperation. They will explore how self-awareness and empathy strengthen professional co-operation and what role emotional balance plays in acting with confidence. Practical exercises provide concrete impulses for consciously managing your own emotions, understanding others better and acting in a growth-oriented manner.

  • Strengthening (self-)awareness of emotions and thoughts as the key to self-control
  • Develop individual solutions for dealing with emotions
