YIE Training session in Murmansk


On the 14th of December project partners from MIBO carried out the training “Psychological resources of Entrepreneur” for young entrepreneurs from Murmansk. Participants of the training discussed influence of personal qualities on success of entrepreneurial activities. Young entrepreneurs along with Elena Zubritskaya and Elena Skiotis made a psychological portrait of entrepreneur and did some practical exercises to develop public speaking and management skills.


The most difficult task was to form skills for short and persuasive expressing point of view. Participants were divided into two teams. The first team had the task to defend the position of "The entrepreneur must take risks, because ...", while the second team had to prove that "the entrepreneur does not have to risk, because ...". During discussion of results, participants concluded that it is important to be able to express thoughts concisely and intelligently in dispute, as well as to respect the opinion of the other side.

The exercise for teambuilding was easy; every potential conflict situation was solved by the sense of humor and positive attitude of participants of the training.

Summing up the training, all participants agreed that these studies helped to learn more about their psychological characteristics, about personal internal "allies" and "saboteurs" to achieve objectives, and how to use them in the right time or overcome.

Next step is to organise "Rules of business communication" training, stay tuned!
