Self Leadership – get started successfully

Times of massive change demand a lot of strength and energy from each of us.

In this section, we examine a well-known, pragmatic model based on Stephen Covey: The Circle Of Influence. As an effective self-leadership tool, it can bring value to leadership both individually and in teams.  

We also deal with the question of which resources we actively can and should consciously use in order to fulfill our tasks effectively and sustainably, both professionally and privately.

Let’s look together where you are already “taking care of yourself” and which resources you would like to pay more attention to in the future.

“I have had very positive experiences with MDI at various events. As a participant in management training courses, as well as a facilitator together with Anita Berger (MDI) in workshops. I would like to emphasize the professional, open and goal-oriented design of the workshops, both in the physical and virtual setup. My experience shows that the input for all participants, as well as the development of concrete measures and tasks, also works very well in the virtual space and thus a sustainable added value can be generated”.
