The FOUR Tools of the Self-Developer

Just a few steps to success and joy of life

Change beg­ins when we stop com­plai­ning about life and others and take respon­si­bi­lity our­sel­ves. Our atti­tude towards life, towards other peo­ple and towards our­sel­ves is a super­power that ensu­res that we feel good and are suc­cessful both pro­fes­sio­nally and pri­va­tely. We achieve on our own what we had pre­viously tried to force our­sel­ves to do. 

With the four tools of the self-deve­lo­per accor­ding to Jens Corssen – pre­sen­ted by his col­le­ague and busi­ness part­ner Andrew Bannon – you will learn in this semi­nar how to change ing­rai­ned beha­viour pat­terns and thus achieve a posi­tive atti­tude. For more joie de vivre, suc­cess and serenity.

Self-Awareness

I am the wit­ness and cost accoun­tant of my thoughts and behaviour.

Beco­ming aware of your own thought pat­terns is the abso­lute pre­re­qui­site for per­so­nal growth and bene­fi­cial change. Once you learn how to coach yours­elf on the rol­ler­co­as­ter of life, you find signi­fi­cantly more satis­fac­tion and success.

Self-Responsibility

I am 100% respon­si­ble for my expe­ri­en­ces and actions.

When you take full respon­si­bi­lity for your expe­ri­en­ces and actions, you increase your self-empower­ment and the­r­e­fore the chance to initiate the neces­sary chan­ges. How you deal with the cir­cum­s­tances of life is your own free decision.

Self-Confidence

I stick to my goals and honour my commitments.

Peo­ple who pur­sue their goal with pas­sion and believe in them­sel­ves see obs­ta­cles or defeats as mere sto­po­vers on the way to their goal. The requi­red self-esteem for this is built up con­sis­t­ently by con­cen­t­ra­ting on the so-cal­led “inner game” – and win­ning it.

Self-Conquest

I am wil­ling to accept dis­com­fort in order to achieve my goals.

The avo­id­ance of dis­com­fort and pain is a com­mon cause of per­so­nal or pro­fes­sio­nal issues. The­r­e­fore, if you want to get more out of life, you first have to give up cer­tain habi­tual behaviours.

Highlights 

  • With the help of Jens Corssen’s Self-Deve­lo­per tools, you will learn to expand your com­pe­ten­ces and deve­lop your per­so­na­lity. He is a gra­duate psy­cho­lo­gist and beha­viou­ral the­ra­pist as well as one of the most distin­gu­is­hed con­sul­tants and spea­k­ers in the Ger­man-spea­king world. With the phi­lo­so­phy and prac­tice of The Self-Deve­lo­per, he has been com­bi­ning psy­cho­lo­gi­cal with prag­ma­tic approa­ches to per­so­na­lity deve­lo­p­ment, change pro­ces­ses and goal achie­ve­ment for 50 years.
  • You reflect on your own atti­tu­des, thin­king, beliefs and pat­terns – tog­e­ther you deve­lop methods for suc­cessful and sus­tainable self-coaching.
  • During the semi­nar, you will take part in a joint evening pro­gramme and get to know your peers. Fur­ther­more, you will become part of the alumni net­work of the Uni­ver­sity of St. Gal­len: The exch­ange within the com­mu­nity is pro­mo­ted via social media and regu­lar events.
