Whether you are a leader, aim to become one or want to be more mindful in your everyday life about the people surrounding you, this workshop will teach you more about personality types and essentially give you a bit more understanding of why people behave as they do.
From a series of lectures about leadership psychology we extract some essentials about different personality types which will help you better understand yourself, your co-workers, boss, or friends. Together we will work through how a (personal) identity is formed, four character-types and their corresponding emotional needs. You will be given the opportunity to reflect on your own personality type and exchange with others. Follow the motto: Learn and Network together.
With over ten years of experience in consulting and the financial sector, including eight years of responsibility in Corporate Real Estate Sustainability of Zürcher Kantonalbank, I have a broad range of expertise. At the same time, I studied psychology and am currently deepening my knowledge in the Master's program. My experience and my expertise in psychology show me how important it is to understand myself and the people around me in order to lead a conscious and healthy life. In the future, I will focus on making psychological basics and the central mechanisms of human behavior accessible. I am 35 years old and live with my little daughter and my husband at Lake Zurich. I am looking forward to the workshop with you!
I am the Young Representative of BPW Club Zurich and candidate to become Young Representative for BPW Switzerland.
I am 30 years old now and live near Zurich. I am currently doing my PhD at the University of St. Gallen in the field of Innovation and Corporate Valuation. Besides my finance background I am very interested in psychology and mental health. This is why I did a diploma in leadership psychology next to my studies. I am excited to share insights and knowledge with you that have helped me a lot in my work life. I think there is no sentence I heard more in business than: It’s a people’s business. So, it’s about people and I think we should know more about them, respectively us.
