You at Your Best
Reorientation for Adults
A fast-paced world
Our world is in a continuous "change" mode. Globalization, digitization, and the increasing mobility of people are constantly changing. This also applies to the professional world. The times of linear work biographies are over. For various reasons, people change their jobs several times throughout their lives. In searching for the right role, sound knowledge of one's own strengths, values, and options - the resources - are important motivating factors.
Discover and use your potential
What have I learned so far? When am I "at my best"? And where do my family, peers, and my work environment see me at my best? People have excellent degrees and professional qualifications, but they have a lot more. What are their individual strengths and unique skills? How can these help them to reach their full potential and become even happier and more successful? It does not necessarily have to be in the area they studied or in which they have previously worked. Areas of activity outside of the professional context and experiences from earlier stages of life are also important indicators in this orientation process.
Participants explore their various areas of activity, interests, education, and previous work experience. Using a structured process, they identify and formulate their key skills in four different categories. As a result, they receive a systematic overview of their strengths and resources and see what makes them unique. They then compare their current situation with their ideal job and set new goals with concrete next steps.
Along the orientation process, you get a new perspective of what you have experienced and learned in your life and see the common thread. You know exactly where your strengths lie, what makes you unique, and which values are important to you. You gain self-motivation and persuasiveness. You know how to use your resources and opportunities for a professional change process.
Individual coaching (in person and/or online)
Normally, 4 sessions of 2 to 3 hours each are sufficient. Participants will get exercises and work material and create a structured summary of their results.
Underpinning my strengths with real evidence
"The format and content of the 'You at your best' personal coaching was both challenging and extremely enjoyable. Instead of focusing just on the work CV, the emphasis on a variety of experiences at different phases of my life really helped to consolidate my thinking about what I have done in the past and how I have reached the stage I am at today. This exercise also helped me to articulate what I saw as my strengths and more importantly, underpin them with real evidence. The personal one-to-one coaching with Verena Lauffs was very important in this process as it provided an impartial, but personal basis for the discussions. Since completing the coaching I have been much clearer about my career goals and the sorts of jobs I really want to do and am already successfully applying my newly acquired insights in job application processes."

Review and fine-tune career goals
"The very well-structured concept enabled me to filter out elements of my personality, my talents, and my interests that I can use for a professional goal that will fulfill me more. Life is too short to waste your talent and energy. I highly recommend this coaching, also as a 'career check' routine to review and fine-tune career goals."
