Preview: Be The Leader of Your Life
Some keep waiting for Success before they allow
themselves to be happy
The positive psychology and success literature talks
about that we need to start with working on our
happiness to have success
This presentation builds upon these ideas.
It talks about self-leadership as a foundation to build
upon to be the leader of your life.
And how that is again a foundation to have
360° Success, in work and life, with joy, happiness and
quality of life as the main goal.

The positive psychology
Happiness leads to Success
Stop wait for Success to be happy
You then might have to wait a bit longer….
„When I have more money, nicer car, bigger house,
better job, then everything will be great“
Happiness nourishes your flame, your
passion
Drives burnout away!

Who says
“Hi” to you

every
morning?

Be responsible for
your own wellbeing
Despite everything,
you always have
a CHOICE
The Serenity Prayer
God grant me the
serenity to accept the things I cannot change
courage to change the things I can and
wisdom to know the difference.

or learn how to dance in the rain?
