Training Contents:
Two careers plus a happy relationship – this is oftentimes a difficult request. This workshop will give you short inputs on Dual career couples, role stereotypes, unconscious patterns of action and beliefs, conflict solving and stress reduction. The Workshop will basically be exercised (individual, couples and in groups) for self-reflection. This will raise your and your partner’s awareness for questions like:

- What are my concepts of career and relationship?
- Which barriers exist arranging two careers and how can they be taken away?
- How do I plan my future career steps and how will this fit with my partner’s career plans?
- Which price am I willing to pay what for?
