Jan Mühlfeit - Unlock Potential Now

Every child is a genius, let’s discover their hidden talents

Every child is born as an original with a plenty of talents and strengths. Unfortunately, the classic school often does not develop strengths and focuses rather on weaknesses and elimination of mistakes. It is important to help children find their talents, to encourage their development and to teach them how to use them effectively.

Why is there not a full development and use of the human potential?

These four basic mistakes are committed by parents and their children:

1) They are trying too much to improve weaknesses and forget about their strengths.

2) Creating a plan of what to do and how to do it replaces the question of a personal mission - why they will do it.

3) They try to drive time instead of controlling their energy.

4) They focus primarily on success instead of experiencing happiness on their way to success.

Katka and Jan will speak about these topics:

o   The positive psychology and the functioning of our brain

o   Talents, strengths and how to find them

o   Energy, motivation, inspiration and how to work with them at a young age

o   School vs. innovation etc.

For whom the course is intended

The Unlock Children's Potential course is designed primarily for children between 10-14 years accompanied by their parents. However, older (14-16 years) and younger (8-10 years) children may also take part. The seminar is all-day, so we leave it purely to parents to consider whether younger children will be able to concentrate throughout the course.
