Personal Planning Day
Overview, outlook, balance
Turbulent times: artificial intelligence, robotics, sensors, changes that affect every person. Do you have the feeling that you are mostly controlled by circumstances and that you only react to impulses? Do you notice that everything is tiring you rather than encouraging you?
I invite you to take control back into your own hands from now on. And I’ll give you a concrete concept for this: the personal planning day: get a look back, gain clarity of the present and design a powerful outlook.
To do this, you leave your everyday routine and go through a structured process. At the end there is more clarity, goals that suit you and an increase in self-motivation.
I will carry out the planning day with you. As variants, we can work live and on site (also on Lanzarote!) or we choose an online format.
Yours,
Dr. Burkhard Bensmann

Four arguments for holding the planning day now
Contents of the planning day
Here is a quick overview of the key agenda items.
Review/appreciation
I always start with this point and I recommend it to you too. My “LdE”, the list of successes, is central to me. Then we check whether anything has changed or should change in your long-term vision. And we also take a look at your mission – it is usually stable. We also do the goal check: I will suggest target fields (if they don’t already exist) that you can check in retrospect.
Pause
A very important part of the personal planning day: Do you want to continue as before? What would be a completely different direction? What, if anything, is neglected? We take time together to pause.
Trend scouting
This involves systematically collecting, viewing and evaluating trends and developments that could have a direct or at least indirect impact on you.
The Fourfold Table: keep doing, do differently, do new, stop doing
The heading already explains what this planning step is about. Here I am based on the method that I also describe in my current book, “Self-Leadership: The Key To Being Productive”.
Check/Update: Conditions for my well-being
What are your basics for satisfaction? What conditions do you have to create for yourself so that you feel “well-being”? That’s what this part of the reflection and planning process is all about.
Update of your goal setting
Here I use the “1-pager” approach. This is a sheet on which you write down all the main goals you want to set for the year.
Concrete steps
We conclude the personal planning day by determining concrete development steps – these are personal measures with leverage.
Variants of the Personal Planning Day
I offer the planning day in German and English. And both either live and on site in one day or online in two time blocks of approx. 4 hours each.
You also have the option of carrying out the personal planning day on the lovely island of Lanzarote (Canary Islands).
Let’s start!
