The Bridge from Wanting
to Doing: Activating Self-Regulation Skills.

Systematically unlock your potential. Find out where to start—
—to strengthen your self-management skills and gain a high degree of autonomy.

From knowledge to action.

Often, our best intentions fail not because of a lack of knowledge or motivation, but because of a lack of the will to act at the crucial moment. There is a neurological barrier between “wanting” and “doing” that has developed gradually or suddenly manifests itself under stress.

In my work, I combine two of the world’s leading approaches to bridge this gap in a sustainable way: Prof. Julius Kuhl’s well-founded TOP assessment of individual self-regulation skills and, building on that, Maja Storch’s ZRM—a neurobiologically effective resource training program. Regulating oneself appropriately to the situation and successfully achieving goals means knowing which emotion and which way of thinking are most effective at that very moment.

Methodological Depth—The Science Behind It

TOP Diagnostics – The Foundation of Self-Regulation.How well-developed is your self-regulation? Prof. Julius Kuhl’s TOP Assessment.

The “Osnabrück Personality Assessment for Training” (TOP) is based on PSI theory. It precisely measures how well your self-management skills (more specifically, your self-regulation) align with your perceived level of current stress. It shows you exactly where you’re unconsciously wasting energy and where your strongest levers for change lie. Especially in the context of intrinsic motivation and self-regulation, these are what enable you to “put your power to work.”

Zurich Resource Model (ZRM) – Neurobiological TrainingSynchronizing intentions and unconscious needs. Maja Storch’s method.

The ZRM draws on the findings of modern brain research. Instead of fighting old behavioral patterns with sheer willpower, here you’ll learn to align conscious goals with your subconscious needs. Through what are known as “motto goals,” you can harness the brain’s neuroplasticity to your advantage and develop goal-oriented thinking, perception, and action.

Three Key Questions: Where does your self-regulation begin?

What’s the safest way to get to my destination?

Learn how to set your goals and anchor them emotionally in a way that gets your brain to actively support you in achieving them—without having to constantly push yourself.

Where am I unconsciously wasting time and energy?

The TOP Test reveals which internal control mechanisms are currently holding you back and hindering your ability to take action. You’ll receive targeted methods to actively rebuild your energy for action in the short term.
