Positive Self-reflection

Did you know that the human psyche is naturally more focused on the negative? This ‘negativity bias’ is an evolutionary survival mechanism that helps us recognise threats and avoid danger, but it often causes us to dwell on our mistakes rather than our strengths. While this once helped our ancestors survive, today it can limit our personal growth. In this workshop, we’ll analyse the 360-degree feedback you’ve gathered to help you better understand your strengths and talents and explore ways to apply them to reach your goals.

After this workshop

• you will have a clear understanding of your qualities and strengths;
• you will have gained insight into your personality based on the Big-5 personality theory;
• you will know what the ‘high’ and ‘low’ scores on the five dimensions imply, and which qualities are associated to each;
• you will have explored your ambitions and ideals using the 'Appreciative Inquiry' method, and know how to use your strengths and talents to pursue your goals.

Who is it for

All UU-students, (recent) UU graduates, and PhD candidates.

Note: since this training is also accessible to PhD candidates, there is a small chance you might encounter a lecturer during the training.
