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.

Unlock Children’s potential course summary This course will help children understand their talents and how they can be used during development in future work and personal life. The theoretical part is accompanied by many examples from practice not only from work but also from personal life.

In the first part of the course you will gain theoretic knowledge in the following areas:

• The positive psychology and the functioning of our brain
• The search for the true self, its authenticity and its exceptional character
• Energy, motivation, inspiration and how to work with them at a young age
• School vs. innovation and technology
• The nature of a personal mission
• Mental toughness 

With unique talents and abilities we work in the second part of the seminar by:

• A proven Gallup Strengths Explorer test and its final analysis
• Individual practical exercises with talents
• Personal consultations, passing on their own experiences and examples from practice

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.
