Personality development

I belong to me. On the balance between self-determination and the determination of others.

Are you self-determined? Yes? No? Good, then I'll ask the question differently: To what percentage are you self-determined? This question can be answered intuitively or after some reflection. Let's take the second path together and take the first step of this path with the question "What is self-determination?

What is self-determination?

To do this, we break down the word "self-determination" into its individual parts: "self" and "determination". In order to be able to answer the question posed at the beginning, we first need to clarify the following questions. Who am I? Who do I want to be? What makes me who I am? What are my needs? What makes me happy? What fulfils me? What is my destiny?

I admit, this thought experiment has a tendency to be philosophical and yet it is crucial to our everyday lives. Only when we know who we are, what makes us tick, what our destiny, our goal in life is, do we have a chance to live in a self-determined way.

Was what you do professionally always your dream or did you just slide into it? Does it fill you up? Do you do it out of habit or because of financial necessity? Is the content of the task really exciting? Are you fascinated by the corporate culture? Do you feel comfortable with your colleagues? Or is it the company car and the familiar routine that keep you?

Confidence in one's own self as a turning point

But knowledge alone is not enough, it also needs the Trust in one's own selfto want to go this way and achieve the goal of life. Because Only then will the courage grow to take time for it and to defend one's own schedule against outside influence.

Many of us are very often caught in the hamster wheel of external determination. Job, family, house & garden, social obligations, ... It is up to each of us to turn the wheel at our own rhythm, our own speed, to initiate changes of direction or even to get off the hamster wheel. It is easier with a clear view of one's own self and what is really close to one's heart.

In our coaching on the personality development we accompany you on the path to your self and, together with you, lay the foundation for a more self-determined life.

Long live the joy of experimentation!

Trying out new things, starting an exploratory process with an open mind, continuously fine-tuning it until the result is something we are satisfied with, is an important competence. But how can this culture be established in a company? It requires seven elementary factors.

Stand up and lead! An appeal for more leadership.

Richard Edelman, Chef der gleichnamigen amerikanischen Kommunikationsagentur Edelman, formulierte es am 22. Oktober in seinem Interview mit Chelsea Spieker sehr klar. "Stand up and lead!", forderte er die Führungspersönlichkeiten aus der deutschen Wirtschaft auf. Grund für diese Aufforderung war das Ergebnis des diesjährigen "Trust Barometer", das die Agentur Edelman für das Gütesiegel "Made in Germany" erstellt hat. Es verdeutlicht, dass die Marke "Deutschland" Schaden genommen hat. In diesem Artikel geht es daher um Führungsstärke, was diese zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts bedeutet und wie sie dazu beitragen kann, das Vertrauen in "Made in Germany" wieder herzustellen.
