Fail Better - Grow Stronger: How to Handle Setbacks and Grow from Them

Not every plan works out. Sometimes things take an unexpected turn – in your studies or in life. This workshop is about learning a new way to deal with setbacks: without shame – but with openness, lightness, and a touch of humor.

What to expect in our skills training:

• Honest exchange on equal footing
• Personality insights with real “aha” moments
• Practical methods & self-coaching tools for your studies and daily life
• A fresh perspective on what you call “failure” – promised!

Using the Enneagram personality model, you’ll discover which patterns shape your everyday life, which strengths you can rely on – and how to deal constructively with setbacks. You’ll walk away with practical tools, self-coaching methods, and new perspectives to support you on your journey.

Anke Fehring, lecturer, author and coach for study and career counseling, will introduce you to the fascinating world of the Enneagram. As an expert in this personality model with its nine types, she will use illustrative examples and stories from her everyday coaching life to show you how you can understand yourself better and use your personality to achieve your goals.

To prepare yourself for the talk, we invite you to listen to Anke's podcast “My Enneagram Podcast” - available wherever podcasts are available. You can also download her free self-test here: Welcher Typ bist Du? - Anke Fehring
