CONCEPTS AND TOOLS FOR PROFESSIONAL AND PRIVATE SUCCESS

Real change occurs when we take respon­si­bi­lity for our thoughts and actions. This three-day semi­nar at the Uni­ver­sity of St. Gal­len tea­ches the phi­lo­so­phy of the self-deve­lo­per accor­ding to Jens Corssen – and makes its four cen­tral tools tan­gi­ble: Self-awa­re­ness, self-respon­si­bi­lity, self-con­fi­dence and self-con­quest.

Andrew Bannon com­bi­nes psy­cho­lo­gi­cal insights, prac­ti­cal methods and inter­ac­tive ele­ments into a pro­gramme that crea­tes cla­rity, streng­thens resi­li­ence and enables sus­tainable deve­lo­p­ment – both pro­fes­sio­nally and personally.

Content summary 

Par­ti­ci­pants learn to reco­g­nise and con­sciously con­trol their own pat­terns of thought and beha­viour. They expe­ri­ence how goals become clea­rer, values pro­vide ori­en­ta­tion and respon­si­bi­lity gives strength in dif­fi­cult situa­tions. Through exer­ci­ses, reflec­tion and inter­ac­tive ele­ments, con­fi­dence in their own strength grows – as does the ability to over­come set­backs pro­duc­tively. This crea­tes an atti­tude that com­bi­nes cla­rity, sere­nity and the power to act.

Key messages 

Self-lea­der­ship is the foun­da­tion of effec­tive lea­der­ship – and beg­ins with self-awareness. 

Satis­fac­tion and suc­cess do not come from avo­id­ance, but from con­sciously overcoming. 

Those who take respon­si­bi­lity gain free­dom of action and charisma.
