„I only got this good grade because the exam was easy, not because I’m skilled.“ „Someday my boss will notice that I am not talented enough for the tasks he gives me!“. Students having these thoughts are afraid of being overestimated by others and being revealed as an imposter. This feeling can have drastic consequences: overextending individual physical and psychological boundaries, having self-doubt and possibly developing mental illness, and much more. In this workshop we will identify the imposter-syndrome and work on tools that can be helpful in dealing with it.

In this workshop, you will learn about the basics of systemic thinking and constructivism and the concept of the inner team. Then you will visualize the protagonists of your own inner team on the online-constellation board. Through reflection and a change of perspective, you will have the opportunity to get to know members of the team such as the perfectionist, the bad conscience and the procrastinator better, to gain new insights into your actions and to question individual behavior patterns. In addition, you will get to know a tool for self-coaching, which you can then use at any time for other topics.

ATTENTION: We use the tool of the online-constellation board for this purpose. Therefore, this workshop requires that you use a laptop or PC. Logging in via mobile phone or tablet is not possible.

We make countless decisions every day. Some of them in a fraction of a second, without consciously thinking about it. However, when it comes to decisions that have a wider reach for us and our environment, it becomes more difficult. We sometimes reconsider decisions for weeks or months without being able to commit to any of the possible options: The process of weighing and making decisions is exhausting and challenging. During the workshop, we will focus on the following topics: 
How does the decision-making process work?
What methods can help me in this process? 
What can I do to improve my own decision-making skills?

Speaker:

Although happiness may seem elusive, research shows that concrete steps can be taken to improve mental well-being to reach a balanced state of mind, bringing greater focus and efficiency. In this talk, Prof. Ghahremani will share the science showing the connection between breathing and emotions, and how “biohacking” using powerful breathing techniques can lead to greater mental well-being. As an illustration, after the presentation, Prof. Kochupillai will provide an experience of these breathing techniques. These techniques are based on the the Art of Living Happiness Program, which teaches the evidence-based SKY Breathing Technique.
