Leading yourself

Strategies and tools for successful self-management in challenging times

This training is held in German.
Do you feel controlled by others rather than self-directed? Due to the increasing complexity of everyday life and the professional world, responsibility and demands continue to grow.

Learn how to survive professionally in the VUCA world.

Questions and answers from the training

What is the Selfment method?

When we are involved in change processes (and we always are), we often find it easier to take care of the tasks that come our way than to take care of ourselves in an appreciative way. Participants learn how to take good care of themselves in challenging times and prevent everyday life from mutating into "survival training" with the self-management concept selfment®, a four-step approach:

  1. Creating awareness of one's own perception of the world, as well as of personal resources, thought and action patterns.
  2. Developing a personal identity - who you are and what makes you who you are, without questioning or "improving" anything.
  3. Meta-level (distance and detachment) enables a "neutral", different view of oneself and one's "he-life".
  4. Manage your own mental health: reflect on your own thoughts about yourself and use the messages from your body.

The Selfment concept leads people into their own responsibility. It is intended to change the way we view other people and the world. Ultimately, it also changes people's view of their own company. And in my experience, people are always willing and self-motivated enough to do this - this is something that needs to be utilized.

 

Can you explain the metaphor of the "life bus"?

The bus is a metaphor for our responsibility in life. We often believe and feel that other people and systems are controlling us and all too often pass on responsibility. It is then easier to find the "culprit" on the outside. Our own bus journey makes it clear: everyone sits in their own bus and we can decide whether we sit at the wheel of our bus or in the back rows. So the responsibility for my bus journey lies with me. We learn how to get back in the driver's seat in this training.

 

What is a key insight from/in the training?

Things are what they are and are initially neutral. It is only through our own interpretation that they receive their message and impact on us. And that means: we can shape our own experience of the world!

 

What do the participants learn or practise in the training?

To get to the bottom of your own patterns and limitations, but also your own beliefs, through reflection and self-work and to be able to change them yourself. 

 

Who should attend the training ?

Specialists and managers, and anyone with an interest in personal development and successful self-management. Because everyone leads themselves through life. Leadership on the outside only succeeds through self-responsible leadership on the inside.
