Maybe a silly question, but I've often seen employees leave a lecture confused, and that's a shame. Lectures should inspire, energise and provide insight - and fortunately, in most cases they do. I offer three standard talks of somewhere between 1 - 2 hours duration. I am happy to receive enquiries as to whether other topics could be candidates.
The standard price is DKK 25,000 ex. VAT.
You know when you wake up in the morning and the world is your oyster? You have a goal and a mission and you don't want anyone to stand in your way. You're motivated to win. If you're in a company, they might have organised a lecture on winning. A well-known person, perhaps someone from the sports world with lots of medals, will come and talk about the journey to the gold medal. Now we're ready, the management thinks. Ready for a big change. Or are we? Maybe some are ready, but not all.
For example, if you come from the world of elite sports or are a SAS soldier, you've already been selected and you're motivated to be motivated to win. But if you're not, you may have a long way to go to develop a winning mentality. And what does it really mean to win in business? Is it lots of sales, efficient processes, new products, etc.
I believe that a winning mentality in business takes many forms, and I also believe that you can be a winner without visibly wanting to win. The lecture is based on Social Psychology, Work & Organisational Psychology and Organisational Theory from the University of Copenhagen, examples from the business world and examples from the sports world.
Have you been given a personality test as part of your recruitment process? So now you've been assessed as introvert, extrovert, salesperson, creative, routine-orientated, etc. etc. Testing in a hiring process can be a possible screening tool, but it doesn't say anything about your personality as we normally perceive it. I have seen people who have been deeply traumatised by their results in an employment personality test.
Personality is much more than what a simple test can reveal. Personality can change both over time and depending on the situation. Personality can be changed, both by yourself and your surroundings. Personality tests also say something about the tester. This lecture gives you a perspective on yourself and inspiration to become even wiser. The lecture is based on Personality Psychology from the University of Copenhagen, examples from the business world and examples from the sports world.
You know when management comes up with a new vision for a new way of doing business and you're not quite as excited as they are? You might think that they are the management, so they have to lead and distribute the work - also around changes in the way of working. I think that's a fair point of view. However, there is the issue that management can only change the company if the employees are on board with changes in the vision. So if you have to look at yourself and the - perhaps unconscious - reluctance you have, what should you look at? Is it a change in a familiar work routine, is it the risk of mutual failure, is it dissatisfaction at not having been involved, or just nervousness about the unknown?
I think you should try to list all the different reasons for your reluctance and do a kind of self-evaluation. Maybe something falls off and you're left with a few reasons. Then talk to trusted colleagues, maybe they feel the same way or you get a new perspective. You see yourself from the outside, or you agree to have a chat with management. The lecture is based on Social, Personality, Work & Organisational Psychology and Organisational Theory from the University of Copenhagen, examples from the business world and examples from the sports world.
