Discover your talents &
design your future

Increase your company's success
through engaged and committed employees.

Do you want engaged employees who are wholeheartedly focused at work and committed to the company's interests?
According to the Gallup Engagement Index, companies and organizations have been facing the problem for many years that, on average, around 80% of employees consider themselves to be less engaged in their jobs or even admit to having quit internally.

This means that eight out of ten people are engaged daily in an occupation that does not suit them and does not help them describe their lives as good, strong, fulfilled or successful. This is an enormous waste of life and creative time, which is not only missed by companies but by society as a whole and, of course, by each individual.

Designing Your Future

  • Designing–your-Future 3

    Because employees perform at their best when their tasks best fit their strengths & talents.

  • Designing–your-Future 4

    Because engagement increases when employees are satisfied and successful in what they do.

  • Designing–your-Future_ 5

    Because motivation increases when own strengths and talents become the compass.

1. Identification of talents

Everybody has unique talents. Simply most people are not aware; they do not know what they are exceptionally good at. Yet our talents – our natural patterns of thinking, feeling and acting – are the basis for personal success and well-being.

Talents cannot be learned; they are the basis for strengths. Talents become strengths by constantly practicing them, reflecting on them, and enriching them with knowledge and learned skills.

CliftonStrengths®

For talent identification, we use the renowned CliftonStrengths® online assessment from Gallup.

We support your employees in discovering their individual talents and developing them into strengths. Based on your preferences, we do this in individual and team coaching sessions. Our approach focuses on the employee’s personal success and satisfaction as well as the success of the team and the organization.

2. Development of perspectives

How do I want to design my life in the context of my work? Our workshops support participants in becoming aware of their compass for a good life and a satisfying career.

Using a systematic approach, our workshop participants will develop several tangible perspectives of their own future and start planning and implementing first steps.

Design Thinking – innovative mindset

With the methods of Design Thinking, perspectives and concrete steps arise for the design of a (professional) life that is individually coherent.

The mindset of Design Thinking provides the tools for shaping one's own career path, dealing with transformations and making conscious decisions.

Create experiences, build your compass, experiment and implement...

Thank you, we look forward to the successful cooperation and your trust!

“I first came into contact with Silke at her first Design Your Life workshop at my university two years ago. That was a wonderful experience for me with many intensive questions, creative exercises and a great open atmosphere. From this I was able to take away many helpful thoughts, ideas and most importantly a new mindset for my career start. The Clifton StrengthsFinder was another strengthening support that helped me a lot in my personal development. Thank you for your contagious lightness and your drive, dear Silke.“
Friederike Redemann, Product Manager at Vitaphone GmbH

“Silke accompanied me over a longer period of time. With the Gallup Strength Finder and other useful tools, she helped me a lot to ask the right questions to get closer to my professional goal and to take other perspectives. Today I am working in a field that suits me and fulfills me. Thank you very much for that.“
Catrin Braun

“The format of working in groups and working on the personal in discussions has been very inspiring for me. I think that every participant can only gain knowledge from it. Great! Conclusion: no one is alone with their own thoughts, neither at SAP nor in general.“
Voices from the SAP Workshop

“I had the pleasure to do the individual Design Your Future coaching with Kaj, after doing a much appreciated Gallup Clifton Strengths workshop together with my team. It has been a fantastic journey where I learned things about myself and my colleagues that I think others can search for during a lifetime. I now have a set of tools to not only spot dreams, wishes and needs, but also to take actions to make things happen in a desired direction. I recommend anyone to work with Kaj, both professionally and privately.“
J. Zetterberg, Project Leader

“I have never thought so much about my life. Now I am no longer afraid of the future“
HS Mannheim

“Last year I had the opportunity to do a leadership coaching with Silke. The Clifton Strengthfinder approach helped me a lot to understand my team better and I was so excited that we then did a joint strengths workshop with the whole team. A great experience and highly recommended!“
Lisa Zöfgen, Online Marketing Consulting

“With a lot of presence, intuition and competence, the DYF team succeeded in picking up the participants at the point in their lives where they are right now. This made it possible to look forward with confidence and ease and to discover new perspectives for themselves. In this way, a lot of potential and energy was released in the participants. This was encouraging, inspiring and motivating. The DYF team far exceeded its promise.“
Herrad Lichdi, Global Ombuds office, SAP SE

“The examination of one's own strengths, preferences, goals, etc should be up to each employee, not HR. It is something individualistic, DYF is a good tool for dealing with oneself.“
Voices from the SAP Workshop

“Great concept, valuable impulse for reflection. Exciting variation of the method, definitely useful for SAP to identify goals /plans of career starters; to identify own desired change; job change - very good speakers!!!“
Voices from the SAP Workshop

“SAP slogan: Make the world a better place! Where can I start? With me! DYF@SAP is a perfect starting point. YES!“
