Making the most of your talents is a lifelong challenge for everyone. As a young adult, you develop rapidly, expanding your competencies. It's particularly exciting to learn skills that are contrary to your usual behaviour. For example, if you tend to be modest but now want to learn to take a stand. This course covers twelve groups of socio-emotional competencies and the associated tension fields to assist you in your ongoing personal development.
Learning objectives
After this course you will:
- be able to recognize twelve groups of socio-emotional competencies and their associated tension fields;
- have developed skills in these twelve areas;
- have a better understanding of which competencies you already display and which competencies you want to further develop.
- be able to better handle tension fields between opposing competencies.
The Double Healix model
The twelve groups of competencies covered in this course are organized according to the Double Healix model. This model describes a journey in twelve phases that are recognizable in every personal development. Throughout the journey, you learn to deal with resistance and adversity, build your ego, celebrate successes, be realistic, ask for and offer help, discover and stand up for your deepest values, and contribute to the greater good. In each phase of the journey, you need skills that will further your progress. In this course, we focus on learning those skills.
Scope of the subject
This course does not address competency development in parenting, nor does it delve into more complex competency development such as team leadership, organizational leadership, strategic and sustainable action at a global level, and spiritual leadership.

In this introduction, we briefly discuss the Double Healix framework and the 12 phases that it distinguishes in a developmental journey of a human being. From 'Prologue' and 'Call to Adventure' to the 'Elixir' of the journey. In each of the twelve phases, we need specific skills that can help us progress on our path. We will explore these skills through theory and film examples. We will also delve into opposing competenci...
In this chapter, we will discuss the competencies that are important in the first phase of the Double Healix model: the Prologue. It involves developing trust, practicing flexibility, managing chaos, being able to dream, daring to follow intuitions, building networking skills, and developing historical awareness.
This chapter deals with the group of competences that are action-related, setting events in motion. It involves: decisiveness, taking space, proactivity, entrepreneurship, confronting, innovating, setting the tone, competing. We have entered the second phase in the Double Healix model: the Call to Adventure, or: the Call to Change.
In this chapter, we discuss the competencies located in the third phase of the Double Healix model: Resistance to Change. In this phase we need to develop willpower, perseverance, stability, resilience, endurance, positivity, and harmony orientation.
This group of competences, needed in the fourth phase of the Double Healix model, deals with learning skills, giving and receiving feedback, playing roles, broadening perspective, exercising creativity, surprising yourself and others.
In this chapter, the focus is on 'vertical' competencies such as top-down influencing, business acumen, prioritization, results orientation, and efficiency. We enter the fifth phase in the Double Healix model: Selection Threshold.
In the group of competencies needed in the sixth phase of the Double Healix model, Star of the Day, it's about being able to take center stage, shine, attract attention, and celebrate success. It involves developing self-confidence, enthusiasm, passion, charm, expressiveness, and motivating others from the heart.
In the Grounding phase of the Double Healix model, we learn to formalize the success from the previous phase. It involves attention to detail, formality, control, organization, systematic approach, timing, sobriety, reliability, and commitment. With these, we prepare ourselves for more challenging times.
In this phase of the Double Healix model, Reversal of Fortune, we learn to endure powerlessness and practice patience and openness. We develop listening skills, timing of our reactions, and equality, empathy, and solidarity in negotiation and collaboration. We learn to consider everyone's interests.
Administering or receiving a "dagger stab" rightly evokes associations with pain and is therefore an area that is preferably avoided. However, there are many competencies to develop in this phase, such as sharp analysis, facing urgency, delivering bad news, breaking taboos, and ending activities/relationships.
In the darkness of the preceding Dagger phase of the Double Healix framework, we long to move as quickly as possible into a hopeful new phase of the model, Return to the Light. But that doesn't happen automatically. First, we need to (re)discover our deeper ideals, develop vision, bring focus, simplify matters, and be able to act purposefully.
We have reached the penultimate phase of the Double Healix journey. Here, in the phase Death and Resurrection, we will undergo our ultimate trial. We practice independence, integrity, credibility, conscientious courage, and willingness to sacrifice if needed.
In this final phase of the Double Healix model, Elixir, on the level of competencies, skills are developed such as servitude, humility, customer orientation, helpfulness, gratitude, forgiveness, and compassion.

Carin Graveland | Funeral director and supervisor
I found this course on Personal Leadership very engaging. I had never explored the hero's journey before, but through all the film clips and explanations, I found this journey deeply inspiring. This course encourages you to pay attention to all phases and competencies, which makes it feel like a very balanced whole in my opinion. Beautiful film clips with questions for reflection.
