== '''Strategy Four: Self-Help Routines (Sophiia Dehe)''' ==
We have discovered that within IE there are a lot of tools in order to learn about Well Being in general as well as them providing a counselling service that any students can reach out to. However, there is not much about the possibility to apply some self help tools for them to independently be able to gain a better quality of life. Sometimes there are external talks organised by the university about happiness and well being in general, but these are very rare and are not something that the students can rely on to desire gaining the knowledge whenever they want to.
Furthermore, the importance of self help routines as well as the development of the soft skill emotional intelligence is becoming more and more important within our society. EI is predicted to become one of the top 5 soft skills needed in the entrepreneurial world by 2025. Therefore, giving the students the opportunity to develop their emotional intelligence would be an unique chance for them to enhance their possibility of a successful life career wise as well as their general quality of life and level of happiness.
In order to transform this idea into reality, we would create a seminar provided by IE in which a good balance between theoretical awareness of Emotional Intelligence and its impact in life as well as the workplace, workshops to apply self help tools for every day life and talks given by professionals in this area such as psychologists or life coaches, would be provided.
The necessary steps would be needed in order to fully develop this idea:
<u>Step 1:</u> Reach out to the professors within the Psychology Department in order to see which professors would be interested in this project and in the design of the classes and workshops. '''Sophiia''' will handle this being a psychology student herself and being aware of who to reach out to within this department.
<u>Step 2:</u> Reach out to the department of academics and enrollment in IE in order to discuss the possibility of adding this seminar in the list of seminars provided to us everytime we want to enroll. '''All''' would handle this since it can also be discussed in the stakeholder meeting when we will present the different ideas we could implement in IE.
<u>Step 3</u>: Reach out to the students making them aware of this seminar and making them realise that they can be part of the seminar whenever they have to enroll for them before each semester. '''All''' will handle this as it will be a matter of advertising this seminar as much as possible within IE Community.
<u>Step 4</u>: Connect the Well Being Center to this seminar as all the other resources about well being come from this center and therefore we would be able to have their support and we can connect all the resources to make them more available to the students as well. '''Sophiia''' will handle this as she has been interacting with the Well being Center of IE.
<u>Step 5:</u> Coordinate the team designed for this seminar including the teachers in order to organise the seminar very efficiently and provide a seminar of good quality as to ensure reputation and fame of it within IE. '''Sophiia''' will handle it as it will mainly be her professors with who she usually has classes or had classes with them before and know them well.
<u>Step 6: </u>Design a source of feedback from students as well as teachers in order to ensure the good quality of the seminar and the sustainability of its existence, improving it as well in order to best fit the needs and desires of students according to what they want to get out from this course. '''All''' will handle this.
