What awaits you in this course?

The course deals with the topic of "motivation" in different areas of our lives. The first part of the course provides scientific knowledge about motivation. Questions such as “What conditions need to be met so that I can achieve long-striven goals?” or “What causes us to be (un)motivated?” will be examined. During the second part, participants will diagnose their own motivation. In the last part of the course, participants will have the opportunity to draw up their own motivation plan. By developing strategies with regard to personally relevant topics, they are enabled to become more successful in these areas of life and to achieve sustainable changes.
