Be Your Own Master Lab

Come regardless of your agenda. Ideally, you better join all the sessions BUT you can come anytime of course!

First session Tuesday 1st March 6pm; consecutive ones to be agreed between you all and the professional leading the Lab. 


CONTEXT 

IE is not just a University, it is a worldwide referent of training the leaders of the future. In essence, leaders are not solely knowledge about the environment they are part of, they also need to interact with people as much as living with themselves. 

Personal fulfillment then is intrinsically related to leadership, as though a CEO of a company not performing satisfactorily or not finding the meaning of life because of social anxiety or existential crisis. 

Matter-fact, developing processes that pay attention to deeper ways of understanding human condition has became unavoidable if we were to keep offering resources to guarantee guidance throughout the entire student experience. 

PROPOSAL 

Six-sessions lab to challenge what makes you not progressing, being this stress about facing exams, homesickness or a recent loss. 

Six face-to-face sessions structured in dynamic and interactive workshops of two hours where a professional in the science of the mind and mental states will guide you through becoming your own master. 

Interactive, thought-provoking, private and extremely effective, you will be part of a small group that aims not only reinforcing your individual abilities but your virtues when working in groups too.

WHAT FOR?

Whether we aim achieving a consistent change that lasts, it ought to align all levels in the individuals so that they attain homeostasis -this is being in balance, achieving coherence with ourselves- matter-fact leaving inner struggles behind.

Distress caused by loss, affliction, disappointment, etc. blocks the individual while prevents us from moving forward freely. Facing distress is something we can all benefit from.

Grieving process is an interactive approach. First, we have to acknowledge the conflict we want to get rid of -not necessarily negative-. Then, using our body, we allow ourselves to express the emotions attached to that conflict.

By resolving grief, we are releasing blockages from the past, placing ourselves in the present hence being able to look forward to the future. We close in order to open. We welcome new experiences out of personal choice and enjoyment.

HOW?

This will be structured in few mini workshop/lab that will go through important pillars like belonging, purpose, storytelling and transcendence. 

We will build a safe environment where students will be able to express themselves without judgment, welcomed as they genuinely are and so not emotionally jeopardized. 

This guarantees quality connections with the professional leading the Lab as much as with the aprticipants as to find our true Self -the first step to find purpose. Spotting individual abilities consequently delivers greater satisfaction, meaning and wellbeing.

We will work on narrative identity, creative intelligence and primal dancing to make participants aware of their conflict and embrace change.  

This proposal connects inner self with the outer world. 

WHY?

The professional leading the course knows firsthand the benefits of its results, both in plural audiences and in herself after overcoming significant challenges.

After studying psychology, she lived in several countries and abandoned the profession for many years, without really understanding why, she just knew there was something that stop her from connecting.

Only after facing her challenges out of these processes, she allowed herself to express rage, fear and sadness to ultimately reconciled with her profession -a turning point in both her personal and professional development.
