Welt von Beyond - Podcast Anne Vonjahr Anne Vonjahr hat Schauspiel studiert und mehrere Jahre auf Bühnen gearbeitet. Dort hat sie verstanden, was bis heute die Grundlage ihrer Arbeit ist: Du bekommst nicht die Rollen, die du spielen könntest. Du bekommst die Rollen, in denen andere dich sehen. Und irgendwann beginnst du, sie zu erfüllen.Seit über 16 Jahren arbeitet sie mit Frauen, die tragen, stabilisieren und alles zusammenhalten und irgendwann merken, dass sie in einer Rolle geblieben sind, die längst zu eng geworden ist. Nicht aus Gewohnheit. Sondern aus Loyalität.Aus dieser Arbeit ist der Archetypenkompass® entstanden, eine eigene Methode, die sichtbar macht, welche Rollen ein Leben prägen und an welchem Punkt sich entscheidet, ob man sie weiterführt oder verlässt.Anne Vonjahr ist Bestseller-Autorin, Gründerin des Archetypenkompass® und Co-Gründerin der Welt von Beyond GmbH.
