What you’ll learn

This is'nt just a motivational program or a quick fix but a real sustained change built over a couple of weeks through practical application

The Hogan assessment will show you how you are being seen by others when you are stressed - uncovering this blind spot is paramount.
Now that you know, you can start to make changes and control your reaction under stress. This will impact your executive presence greatly.
Leaders who know how to handle stress can influence their team and their peers in positive ways - that opens the door for your next level.

Use the Energy Leadership Index to understand how your energy affects your decisions, communication and leadership.
Know your energy balance to sustain your positive energy, to inspire others around you with creativity and open mindedness.
Take control by knowing how to move into better energy levels. Build habits that help you operate with greater focus and intention.

The intercultural assessment in this course shows you how you tend to behave, decide and communicate based on your cultural profile.
The assessment also shows you how other cultures are likely to behave - and what you can do to meet them where they are.
Cultural literacy is key for successful managers. This course lays the foundation for you to manage stakeholders of different nationalities.

We don't stop at theoretical insights - in this course we develop detailed action plans for you to follow through.
Various exercises inside and outside the live sessions make sure that your new knowledge sticks - and that change starts to kick in.
We are creating a habit inventory and attainable goals together - incorporating the feedback you got in your assessments.

Testimonials

Sabine Karunanithy runs a program called MAP (mind-awareness-progress). Man, is it phenomenal! For those who feel stuck in a rut, using simple examples and real life situations, Sabine teases out your own intellect to look at situations differently, analyze your current energy and help project the energy that you want to consciously. I would highly recommend this program to everyone. Think of it as a workout coach for your professional mind.
Thank you Sabine and I'm happy to report that my amygdala is in check!

I joined MAP at a time of considerable change, both professionally and personally, and probably expected it to be another interesting leadership and personal development course. It turned out to be much more useful than that.
The biggest change for me has been greater awareness of how I think, what drives me and, importantly, some of the assumptions and behaviours that can hold me back. The course gave me the opportunity to stop, challenge some long-established thinking and become much clearer about what I want from the next stage of my life and career.
MAP exceeded my expectations because I came away not simply knowing more about myself, but actually thinking and approaching things differently.

The Mindset Awareness Program was unlike any other programs I have attended in my personal development journey so far. This is not just a motivational program or a quick fix, but a real sustained change built over a couple of weeks through honest conversation, reflection and Sabine’s remarkable ability to meet the participants where they are.
The most important insight for me was understanding the energy levels and how they shape the way we communicate and connect with people around us.
I started the program with curiousity and completed the program as a more aware, more intentional and truly grateful person.
