Talent & Traps: explore your strengths and weaknesses (NL/EN)

What are your (hidden) strengths and what are your pitfalls? In this seminar, you will learn to recognise and articulate these, in order to increase your self-awareness.

Method
Workshop
On-campus seminar

You may sometimes ask yourself:

How or why am I unique?
What am I really good at?
How can I deal with my own automatic responses/behaviour?
How can I learn to deal with unpleasant situations better?
How can I distinguish myself, both during my studies and in my future career?
What unique qualities can I use to be more successful in my studies, in groups, during internships, at work or in other situations?

In this seminar, we will explore two sides of the same coin and you will learn about your Talents and Traps. There will be a lot of interaction with fellow students and personal attention from the trainer/coach.
