Personal Reports
Our participants have recorded their experiences for you.
"Theory is accompanied by exciting outdoor exercises. We often fail, but that's part of the learning process. We learn what leadership means in theory and then immediately try to put it into practice. The growth of our group is especially evident during the voluntary after-work sessions. After a long and exhausting day, almost everyone still takes the time to listen to a one-hour talk on nuclear energy and actively engage in discussions.
The three weekends left a lasting impact on all of us. The subsequent personal reflection was crucial for understanding where there is room for improvement and recognizing the opportunities that the newly acquired knowledge presents."

"I particularly enjoyed the combination of outdoor exercises and classroom training. The exercises created a common framework that we could discuss further. This approach allowed the group to collaboratively develop the knowledge that was meant to be conveyed, making it much more memorable than if it had been taught in a traditional lecture format.
I found it enriching to work with like-minded, motivated colleagues on various tasks, building numerous bridges both literally and figuratively. Friendships were formed, and interactions were always at eye level. The exchange among participants encourages you to scrutinize your own views, question your decisions, and reflect on your leadership style. This fosters self-reflection and self-awareness. Additionally, it's helpful to see that all colleagues face the same challenges, regardless of the field they are working in."

"A very positive aspect of the seminar was, of course, the opportunity for interaction and the ability to ask questions and engage in discussions, complemented by outdoor elements that added variety and provided several 'aha' moments. I also found the slightly different didactic approach, without PowerPoint support, to be extremely pleasant and refreshingly varied.
From my perspective, the group of participants turned out to be relatively young; with about four or five others, I am probably among the older participants. However, this did not detract from the experience in any way. The diversity in content and personal perspectives made the group interesting, without any significant disharmony arising so far.
I found the second seminar in Puchberg am Schneeberg to be very pleasant; the location was excellent, and the large outdoor game was fantastic. All of this contributed to a great group dynamic, and everything was always followed by a thorough analysis phase, which really rounded things off."
