In an era where the role of women in society and the workforce is gaining increasing significance, the “New Perspectives” voluntary lecture series at Europa-Park makes a powerful statement. Ute Janik, a distinguished editor, presenter, and trainer, delivered her inspiring talk, “The Heroine in You – Learning from Strong Women” to an audience of about 250 guests. Her goal is to motivate women to take the leading role in their life stories.
Women Who Made History
Janik's presentation was marked by the depiction of the life paths of extraordinary women who faced adversities and achieved remarkable things. The stories of Margarete Steiff, who became a successful entrepreneur despite physical disabilities; Marie Curie, the two-time Nobel laureate; and Waris Dirie, who raised her voice against female genital mutilation, served as powerful examples of female strength and perseverance.
The Power of Archetypes
Ute Janik turned to psychological concepts to explain three central archetypes that play a role on the path to self-realization: the Herald, who calls for departure; the Threshold Guardian, who symbolizes concerns and fears; and the Mentor, who provides support and guidance. These archetypes, according to Janik, reflect the inner struggles that must be overcome to fully tap into one's potential.
Changing Perspectives as the Key to Success
A key aspect of the talk was the importance of changing perspectives to overcome obstacles. Janik quoted Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Marie Curie to emphasize that challenges represent opportunities for growth and development. Her message: Obstacles can be the beginning of something new and beautiful if one is willing to change their viewpoint.
