Im Workshop lernen Sie Stellschrauben kennen, um die verschiedenen Erwartungen an Ihre Rolle(n) zu bedienen und sich zugleich nicht zu sehr in der Vielfalt der Anforderungen zu verzetteln.
Der Workshop unterstützt Sie sich zu fokussieren und angemessen „Nein“ zu sagen, wenn „Angebote“ an Sie herangetragen werden, die zwar viel Arbeit bedeuten, Sie aber in Ihrer Weiterentwicklung nicht fördern.
