Self-reflection course in Rotterdam

The Self-Reflection course is suitable for anyone who wants to develop further professionally. Think of people who regularly experience conflicts at work, who are stuck in their role, or who want to improve their personal performance. You are also welcome if you simply want to understand better why you do what you do. No specific prior education is required to take part.

During the Self-reflection course you work with proven models such as the Johari window, the drama triangle and winner's triangle, the RET step-by-step plan, the STARR method and the SWOT analysis. You also gain insight into transference and projection mechanisms. Using these methods, you examine your behaviour, beliefs and core qualities over two classroom training days, so that you can take targeted steps in your personal development.

During the Self-Reflection course you discover your core qualities using the Johari window. You learn which characteristics are public and which remain hidden from others. By actively asking for feedback you reduce your blind spot, and by communicating openly you shrink your hidden area. This gives you a realistic picture of how you come across to colleagues.

The Self-reflection course starts with an intake by telephone or email, followed by 2 classroom training days. During the course you work with metaphors, exercises and targeted questionnaires to gain insight into situations, emotions and behaviour. In this way you get to know yourself better step by step, including course materials and a personal approach in a small group.

No, the Self-reflection course requires no specific prior knowledge or previous education. The course is suitable for anyone who wants to develop professionally, regardless of role or work experience. Openness is important, though: you must be willing to look critically at your own behaviour, beliefs and choices. The two classroom training days start with an intake, so that the content matches your situation.

A self-help book or an online exercise gives you theory and separate assignments, but you miss the mirror held up from outside. That mirror is precisely the heart of self-reflection. In Learnit's classroom Self-Reflection course you work with a trainer and a small group of participants who give you direct feedback. You apply models such as the Johari window, the drama triangle, the RET step-by-step approach and the STARR method to your own work situations. Blind spots you would never discover in a book do come to light in a group. The course starts with an intake, so that the content matches your question. If you opt for self-study, you develop knowledge. If you opt for this course, you develop insight into your behaviour and concrete tools to change it.

The Self-reflection course and an individual coaching programme have different aims. This classroom course gives you a structured framework with proven methods: the Johari window, the drama triangle, the RET step-by-step plan, the STARR method and a SWOT analysis. You learn these models in a group, practise them straight away and receive feedback from fellow participants. Choose this if you want tools and theory that you can continue to use independently after the course. A coaching programme is more intensive and more personal, and focuses on one specific issue over a longer period. Are you stuck on one concrete theme, or is something deeper going on? Then coaching is a better fit. Do you want to learn to reflect broadly and get to know yourself better? Then this course is the right choice.

The Self-Reflection course pays off most at moments when you notice that patterns are repeating themselves: recurring conflicts at work, getting stuck in your role, doubts about your next step or the feeling that you are not coming into your own. Moving into a managerial or coordinating position is also a logical moment, because you then have more impact on others. The course lasts and, classroom-based. You work with models such as the Johari window, the drama triangle/winner's triangle, RET and the STARR method. It is less suitable immediately after an acute crisis or a burnout diagnosis; a coaching or treatment programme is a better fit then. If you have room to reflect and you are willing to ask for feedback, this is a good moment to start.
