Mindset Empowerment

Making a career and staying true to yourself

In the course of professional life, uncertainties and the need for dialogue often arise with regard to clarifying possible future prospects and the next desirable career steps. Questions about compatibility with personal life situations and goals in addition to professional development often play a role here, as do concerns about individual hurdles or challenges or the impression of having to bend one's own personality for an attractive position. In some cases, this is experienced as a real dilemma: How can I pursue a career and remain myself at the same time?

The masterclass will be led by Prof Dr Sarah Diefenbach, Professor of Business Psychology and Human-Technology Interaction at LMU Munich.

In addition to practical experience reports and relevant psychological mechanisms, Prof. Diefenbach will also reflect on her experiences as head of the mentoring programme at her faculty, which supports doctoral students and post-docs in critical transitional situations in the pursuit of their academic careers. In addition, the masterclass offers a space for discussion and exchange and addresses the following questions, among others, from a solution-oriented perspective:

  • What is my path? Where do I want to develop professionally and what will help me best?
  • How can I make a career and remain myself? How can I fill a role with responsibility with my own personality and values?
  • What can I do to make my skills more visible and tangible for others? What do I need to get into positions where I can take on responsibility and shape things?
  • What are possible hurdles and how can I overcome them?
Various contexts, such as communication, dynamics in meetings, application situations, career and family as well as gender-specific perspectives will be highlighted. We will look at tips and best practices for successful careers and offer a space to share your own experiences, uncertainties and questions.

Mindset empowerment stands for the activation of a self-confident and self-determined role according to the motto: Don't wait for someone to prepare the way, but prepare the way yourself.

Places in the masterclasses are limited. You can register for this masterclass via the registration button until 22 October.
