Compass on Purpose (NL/EN)

What is really important to you? Learn more about what you would like to focus on in life and study, and what you want to let go of.

Teacher
Marlies Ruijgrok  (Medior trainer/coach)
Method
Workshop
On-campus seminar with online preparation

In this seminar, we will focus on identifying aspects around your “purpose” and values. We will explore what you find important in life and why. We will focus on topics related to questions such as:

•             “What do I find important?”
•             “What do I want to bring others?”
•             “How does my study relate to me and my values?”
•             “What ideas do I have that I would like to bring into practice?”
•             "Should I keep doing something I am good at, but don’t like doing?”

We work with tools that help you find and anchor direction in your own life, study path, ambitions and other activities. 

Preparation 
As accompanying preparation, you will answer self-reflection questions in your own online 'Learning My Way' portfolio. After the seminar, you can take advantage of a 1-to-1 coaching session. 

Please note that this seminar can count as a module of the ‘Personal Professional Skills Lab’ for FSW first-year students of IRO, Political Science, Psychology and Cultural Anthropology studies.
