✨ Increase your Self-Confidence - A Practical Workshop for Feeling More Grounded & Secure

Stepping into a new environment, navigating major life changes, or simply keeping up with the demands of university life can sometimes leave us feeling a bit disconnected or unsure of ourselves. It’s completely natural to occasionally lose touch with that sense of familiarity and confidence we once had. To address exactly this, we recently gathered for an interactive workshop led by psychologist Christina Eisenbach, focusing on how to build and strengthen a stable sense of self-worth.

Together, we explored what self-worth actually is, how it develops, and the ways in which big life transitions can impact our identity and confidence.

Whether participants were still adjusting to a new routine, feeling a little disconnected, or simply wanting to grow their self-confidence, the room was filled with a deeply supportive energy. We walked away not only with a better understanding of ourselves, but with tangible tools to help us feel more grounded, secure, and resilient as we move forward.

A heartfelt thank you to Christina Eisenbach for sharing her expertise, and to everyone who brought their openness and presence to this valuable session.

Be kind to yourself—your inner strength grows one small step at a time. 💙

Over two interactive workshop sessions, international students explored how to navigate German workplace culture with confidence and professionalism. The workshop “Professional Behavior, Communication & Intercultural Competence” focused on helping participants better understand the expectations, communication styles, and unwritten rules that shape professional life in Germany.

Through a combination of practical exercises, role plays, discussions, and real-life workplace scenarios, students reflected on cultural differences and developed strategies for communicating effectively in academic and professional settings. Particular attention was given to professional behavior in meetings, clear and respectful communication, and building positive working relationships in diverse teams.

Participants also explored the role of body language, professional appearance, business etiquette, and networking. They practiced small talk and learned how to make a positive first impression in professional environments. In addition, the workshop addressed how to handle feedback and criticism constructively—an important skill for both personal and professional growth.

By the end of the workshop, participants had:

• Gained a better understanding of German workplace culture and expectations
• Improved their communication skills for professional and everyday work situations
• Learned how to present themselves confidently through body language and appearance
• Practiced networking and small-talk techniques
• Strengthened their intercultural competence for working in diverse teams
• Developed strategies for giving and receiving feedback effectively

As part of the Employability Pass, the workshop counted for 3 points in the category Soft Skills & Employability.
