Our Expertise

 

At KEPOS, we combine professional experience from industry, research and science management with the know-how of human resource development tools to support young scientists in their career development. It is this rich expertise that makes us unique and allows for customized coaching and training solutions.

What we offer

Seminars & Workshops



Our workshops are aimed at young scientists who are looking for support in their career planning or who want to improve their key competencies, as well as science managers who are preparing for a role in career counseling or organizational development.
Thematically, our workshops cover career orientation, job application, leadership, career planning and counseling, communication in different contexts, management methods, work-life balance and diversity.

 


Consulting & Coaching



We offer advice and support to scientists in questions of professional reorientation or when making a career change during the decision-making process. We help them determine their current position, identify their strengths and develop a personal profile that matches their skills with the requirements of the job market. And we support them in the application process.
Individual consulting can include targeted job search, review of application documents for a specific position and preparation for interview and / or assessment center, as well as onboarding issues at the new workplace.

 


Talks



We give presentations in German or English at your events. Thematically, these can relate to career planning for young scientists, leadership styles and personality traits, as well as gender and diversity issues.

 


Organi­zational Develop­ment



When research groups are merged, departments are dissolved, or new management structures are put in place, this can result in a clash of different work cultures and objectives.
We help you to implement change processes in your organization. Together with you, we analyze the current situation, develop change goals - if and when necessary, with the team - and support you in the implementation of agreed measures.
We accompany you on scientific retreats, moderate your events and carry out team development initiatives for working or management groups.

01.10.2023Jetzt im Handel: "Vom Mindset zum Bodyset" von Kristina BoehlkeMit Körper-Biologik Emotionen selbstwirksam aktivieren und führen

Jetzt im Handel erhältlich: Emotionen sind die Sprache des Lebens. Sie haben uns schon handeln und entscheiden lassen, bevor es Worte gab. Empathie, Intuition, Körpersprache und Mimik sind die Voraussetzung für ein gutes Zusammenleben in der Gruppe. Doch nutzen wir unsere Potenziale im Business, im Coaching, in wichtigen Situationen ausreichend? Wie also küssen wir diese Fähigkeiten wieder wach? Antworten liefert Kristina Böhlkes neues Buch. Es ist eine Gebrauchsanweisung für den eigenen Körper, für unsere angeborenen Kommunikationsfähigkeiten und führt uns zu emotionalem Selbstvertrauen. In Kontakt mit den natürlichen emphatischen Fähigkeiten zu sein, den eigenen Wahrnehmungen vertrauen, um auf dieser Basis schnell und sicher handeln und reagieren zu können – das ist emotionale Agilität. „Bodyset statt Mindset“ steht dafür, dass wir unsere emotionale Agilität und unsere Intuition wieder bewusst nutzen lernen und zwar mit dem Körper als Ressource - denn der Kopf ist schon ausgelastet genug. Wer den Körper und seine Energien bewusst führen kann, spart Energie und schafft Vertrauen durch authentisches Auftreten. Mit den Möglichkeiten der Körper-Biologik setzt du die Dinge im Wortsinne in Bewegung- zum Beispiel im Coaching, im Consulting, im Führungsalltag oder vor Publikum.
