The Role of Schools and Parents
Our education system and parenting structures should be places where young people learn to visualize and define their goals. Yet, too often, students are navigated through a net of demands and expectations, never learning how to chart their course. Motivation training and coaching are not just buzzwords for managers – they are essential tools available to everyone. WB-Web offers deeper insights into the importance of goal setting in education.
Self-Efficacy and Confidence

It forms the foundation for motivating oneself in applications, persisting in learning, and giving one's best in a professional setting every day. A comprehensive overview of this topic can be found in an article by Ruhr-University Bochum.
