Who Is The Course Aimed At

Overall, the course is aimed at participants who want to strengthen and develop their personal leadership based in self-insight and human understanding.

Furthermore, it is for those of you who aim to use their own and others’ abilities and resources to do a god job, while taking care of their health and well-being. And in this way, maintain the energy and desire to continue, too.

Jobwise, you may meet managers and employees across functions and organisational levels. You may also meet teachers, consultants, coaches, therapists, and others.

The Course Covers

In many ways, we live in a performance-oriented society, where goals, objectives, action plans, KPIs (Key Performance Indicators), etc. ensure that we stay focused on achieving the next short-term targets and delivering concrete results.

Therefore, and for better and worse, many of us feel under more or less constant pressure to perform at their best and achieve new and higher goals. Sometimes with fewer available resources than they may have once had.

Consequently, more and more people are at risk of experiencing overwhelming stress and burnout which can be a costly affair. For both humans, companies and society.

In this course, we will cover challenges and opportunities of having to perform and work under pressure. And we will address ways and means to improve performances while taking care of health and well-being.
