It is an interdisciplinary course that teaches students how the strategic management methodologies applied in the processes of determining the visions of businesses, institutions, and even states and reaching that vision can be adapted to career planning and why career planning is systematic research, planning, and continuous development process.

The course aims to

• contribute to the development of continuous research and development awareness, based on the concepts of knowledge-oriented decision-making in career planning processes, increasing competitiveness, minimizing information asymmetry and missed opportunity cost,

• contribute to students' internalization of why a career is a process that should be planned, being aware of basic micro and macroeconomic conditions,

• introduce the strategic analysis methods that students can use in transforming their career planning processes into critical thinking, research, and application processes, and making them apply with exemplary studies,

• contribute to the development of market-oriented and proactive career planning awareness in students,

• ensure that students develop an interdisciplinary (marketing communication, organizational behavior, and strategic management) perspective on career planning,

• scientifically explain the importance of strong social capital (all kinds of contributions arising from the effective use of social networks) with social networking methodologies and to explain practically how social capital can be used systematically and effectively in career planning processes.

Chess is a fun game that starts with the basic rules and moves through the 3 parts of the game: the opening, the middlegame, and the endgame.

The focus at first is to teach you how the pieces move, what the goal of the opening is, and how the pieces interact. You will also learn the vocabulary related to chess and chess notation.

Tactics are then explored to take advantage of hanging pieces, lack of king safety, space, and tempo. From here depending on what your personal goals are we will adapt the classes to cover what will help you progress.

I can also give group classes, contact me if you have a group, we can discuss how to best organise those classes and pricing.

I offer both online and face-to-face training. For online training we can use Discord, Skype or Zoom.

The training is adapted to the needs of the student. During the lessons, we work together to identify the student's weaknesses and work specifically on them.
I was first introduced to chess at the age of 5. At 17 I joined the Düsseldorf Chess Club and at 18 I headed a primary school chess club.
I have a Chess.com online Rapid Rating of around 1650, which puts me in the top 2% of rapid chess players on Chess.com.
I use a large part of my free time to improve my chess skills by working through books, solving problems, playing games, analyzing them extensively and exchanging ideas with other players.
