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.
