Aim of the course
To reach excellence as a student and as a (future) leader, it is not only necessary to develop hard skills, but also to master soft skills through which we can develop and improve ourselves, and our relationships with others. Taking on an explicit psychological perspective, this course aims to provide students with the necessary theoretical knowhow and practical tools that should enable them to both understand and apply pathways to (inter)personal, and intellectual success and to emotional flourishing. Topics that will be covered are: “self and personality”, “creativity”, “critical thinking”, “self-presentation” and “self-branding”. At the end of this course students are expected to have become acquainted with and have mastered/applied a range of soft skills that are quintessential for personal development and that are valued by, and sought after by employers.

Students will learn about emotional expressions, emotions’ control, abuse/bullying, compassion, stress, and burnout; how emotion norms are formed in teams and organizations. Students will learn and practice emotional hygiene activities including reflection and meditation; micro-practices as emotional labour, social support, compassion, and empathy, and engagement through face-to-face activities, and mediated interaction, storytelling, venting, joking, and advice-giving.
