Self understanding might be one of the most important skills in your life. If you know who you are and where you are heading, it will be easier to make a decision, attract the right people, and achieve what you want. In this course co-created with Extraordinary Life, we will help you to do so.
During the first introduction session, you’ll meet your trainer and group and explore what is the self and why you would want to learn more about it.
You will critically reflect on the use of various introspective techniques (such as personality tests) and understand how to avoid pitfalls/biases of self-development techniques/tools.
Understanding your own motivation could be one of the most beneficial self knowledge. You’ll learn about different motivational theories and how to leverage them to achieve your own goals.
Your emotions and behaviour are the most common way how your self is expressed in the outside world. You will compassionately reflect on your own behavior and emotions connected to that.
Once you know yourself how do you express it to others? You’ll explore how to express yourself authentically and how to use this expression to create meaningful connection with others.
Niek has a passion for self-development and public speaking. In 2019, he set up the EL Association to bring a new message to university students. This message is radically honest, entails stepping outside the comfort zone and creates a sense of belonging. After an amazing board year with the team, he biked from Rotterdam to Zurich to pursue his exchange. In Switzerland he set up the first international branch of Extraordinary Life. Niek is characterised by going against the grain, caring for improvement and discipline. Niek is back this year to lead our online Leadership Academy.
