Aus- und Weiterbildung

2021, 'Leading Change'

by Professor Robert Anthony from Harvard University with Hult IBS in Boston / USA.

Change is a constant in the global business world. Being able to successfully undertake change is what allows extraordinary businesses to maintain their competitive advantage over time. The ability to lead and inspire change is one of the most important qualities a business leader can possess. The overall purpose of this course is to prepare future leaders to step-up and initiate, focus and plan successful change initiatives in different business contexts and to develop skills for personally leading change. Thus, the specific aims of the course are to acquaint students with resources and practical, proven approaches to envision an enhanced future state and a compelling reason to change; build ownership and commitment to the change; focus, engage and involve people in change initiatives; guide, direct and support change initiatives; demonstrate successful results and early wins; anticipate and address issues and challenges as they arise; and make sure the change "sticks".
... and the real question is the why we seem to be so obsessed, as in 'ocd' - with 'constant change' - and what this means.

2021, 'The science of Well-being'

with Professor Dr. Laurie Santos, professor at Yale University New Haven (Connecticut) / USA.

Content: Explanation of our own misconceptions about happiness and why we have then. Annoying features of the mind that can lead us to think irrationally about happiness, and the research that can help us change. How we can counteract annoying features of our mind that keep us from being happy. Active strategies to become happier and how to intentionally put them into place. Be prepared to successfully incorporate a personal wellness activity into your life.

-> On a personal note: this course resonated with me, because in 1994, an English teacher in Sydney told me that the label 'well-being' doesn't exist, when I proposed this to be used in a 'wellness programme' - so naturally I cas curious and wanted to now more about the course that calls itself 'the science of well-being.
