Life-Scout^© Training with Diploma

Professional profiles

The Life-Scout^® is a synthesis of “health coach”, psychologist, and career and relationship counsellor, and is aimed primarily at therapeutic, helping, healing, advisory, social and care professions.

Qualities: helping, healing & advising

Professional profile (tags): health & psychotherapy & personal development & applied health sciences & healthcare & medicine.

The Life-Scout^® training teaches professional competence in the main areas of life: career, relationships, communication, meaning and quality of life.

Life-Scouting^® is an internationally protected trademark of its founder Helmut-Whitey Kritzinger, a German qualified psychologist, philosopher and entrepreneur. It grew out of 30 years of practical professional experience with more than 52,000 participants and clients in 12 countries.

Life-Scouting can be loosely translated as: a life entrepreneur who, through self-efficacy, places their individual talents and values at the centre of their personal existence by means of a carefully developed life model.

Self-efficacy means seeing and living life from four perspectives:

• Physical competence (healthy nutrition, sport, fitness)
• Emotional competence (work-life romance)
• Biographical competence (making independent decisions)
• Maturation competence (learning into old age)

Aims of the training

The fundamental aim of this innovative form of counselling is to accompany people in their professional, relational, communicative and emotional development in parallel, and to support them in recognising their strengths and abilities in each area of life. Personal aptitudes and abilities are used to achieve lasting success and to experience one's own life as fulfilling. Life-Scouting always relies on direct human communication – the only lasting and real advantage humans have over present and future technology. In addition, the innovation of Life-Scouting harnesses the power of emotions, which often seem unwelcome in society and at management level, or may be interpreted as “weakness”.

Characteristics

Four human characteristics receive special attention here: character, thinking, perception/action and communication. The primary goal of Life-Scouting is therefore to develop a personal life model.
Up to 50 different, proven value-based life models and value-based business models are available.
The Life-Scouting method is a synthesis of the long-developed art of living of Western philosophy, humanistic psychology, economics, ecology, management theory, neurobiology and communication science.

The 8 components of Life-Scouting^©

View diagram: the 8 elements of Life-Scouting^® (in German) →

- Holistic career counselling (Who am I? – personal aptitudes)
- Integral communication (interaction in a social context)
- Life models (the basis of Life-Scouting)
- Relationships & partnership (the secrets of love)
- Emotional intelligence (the power of feelings)
- Mindfulness (the power of now)
- Empathy – high touch and high tech (humanity's only advantage over technology)
- Flow (achieving mastery in your own life)

Module 1: Holistic career counselling

Your individual strengths profile is the fingerprint of your soul. Our Makrogramm^© method integrates the most important elements of personality research and creates your individual profile.
Every person has 12–15 top ways of expressing their calling. So there is by no means just one “calling” – and certainly not “for life”!

Module 2: Integral communication

To understand human differences and their effects on communication and relationships, the Riemann-Thomann model helps us with its theory of personality, relationships and development. For counselling, training and clarification support, the models of communication psychology provide important tools – more precisely: “instruments of the mind”. They open our eyes and let us recognise hidden processes and connections.

Module 3: Life models

Thinking in terms of life and business models makes personal success in life much easier. It reflects your own values and goals in harmony with your environment. Finding your own life model is far more than a “calling”; it reflects the unmistakable film of your life. The following variants are available:
- career models, relationship models, sexuality models, parenting models, training models, teaching models, learning models, success models, creative models, evaluation models, healing models, motivation models.

Module 4: Relationships & partnership

Closeness and distance give room to grow together. Tolerance and acceptance of each other's personal life models strengthen shared growth. Harmony and a healthy culture of disagreement underline the secret of long-term, successful relationships: only two different characters share a similar life goal!

Module 5: Emotional intelligence

Like empathy, emotional intelligence is crucial for success in private and professional life. Putting emotions into action means influencing them so that they help you achieve your goals. This is the core of self-motivation and fosters creativity as well as the frequency of experiences of success. Dealing with other people's feelings is the central key to success.

Module 6: Mindfulness

Awareness can describe both an unintentional, active, inner attitude of mindfulness and a more focused form of mindfulness, and can be directed at all phenomena of perception and experience. Mindfulness is a universal form of meditation in everyday life and has invaluable benefits for body, soul and mind.

Module 7: Empathy

Empathy plays a fundamental role in every field where people work together, advise or provide therapy. Empathy is particularly important in psychotherapy, psychology, physiology, physiotherapy, nursing science, education, philosophy, linguistics, medicine and psychiatry, right through to management and marketing.

Module 8: Flow

Flow means living in the flow of being – free of fear, healthy, successful in the here and now, playfully at one with life. In the seminar you will learn various practical exercises and methods for turning blockages into flow. Flow is a state and not a technique!
