Introduction to the course topics:

Do you want to get your things done successfully by using project, time and self-management?

Do you want to carry out and conclude your projects effectively, efficiently and with a high portion of self-awareness?

In this training, Angela Firmhofer provides you with different tools that will make it easier for you to embark on your project journey, rule it and come to a successful and satisfactory end:
A lot of times you find yourself in a situation in which you have your own project idea or you are already running a project. At the same time, you have to compete with others or adapt to them. Nonetheless you want to define and follow your own (career) path independently and autonomously. In these situations, it is not just about project, time and self-management skills, but also about keeping an eye on your work-life balance and resilience.

Exercises will make it easy to put empirical research into practical experience. All exercises are easy to transfer into daily routines.
