Personal Well-Being
Jolanta Cihanoviča The world around us is changing irreversibly. One set of changes has not yet finished when the next is already starting, and the speed is just increasing. It is affecting all areas of life. What can we expect? How do we get oriented? What do these changes ask of us as people and professionals?
In this practical, interactive course we will be discussing how to be, feel, and act in this new world. We will discuss how roles, relationships and thinking have changed. What are the competencies and tools that people need to realize their professional and human potential to the maximum? The course is also about what facilitates (or restricts) our energy level, individual well-being and happiness.
We invite you to get to know and try a systemic approach based on research, which looks at our individual well-being in 6 mutually connected dimensions – physical, emotional, thinking, competency, relationship and meaning!
Goal: To assist in gaining a better understanding of one’s needs and character potential, and to learn to care about things which help in living a more conscious, comprehensive, more a balanced and happier life.
Format of work: Short lectures, discussions, examples and case studies, practical assignments and exercises.
