Abundana – Institute for Self-Management
We are passionate about self-management and motivation. We are particularly interested in moments of transition, when we need a new attitude, a new mindset and a new set of behaviour.
Unlike self-management, self-discipline is tiresome, unreliable and does not work in the long run as neuroscience and motivation psychology show us today. There are much better ways to change our attitude and our behaviour.
At Abundana, we focus on approaches how you can, adopt a new attitude with which you can deal better with the requirements of your daily life and improve your level of contentment easily and efficiently. We impart this knowledge through training, coaching, talks and courses.
The Abundana Approach
At Abundana we are particularly interested in self-management, especially in moments of transition when we need
- a new attitude
- a new mindset
- a new way of action
Unlike self-management, self-discipline is tiresome, unreliable and does not work in the long run as neuroscience and motivation psychology show us today.
What is the Meaning of Abundana?
Abundana is made up of two words:
-
the English word "abundance"
-
and the Persian word "dana" (دانا), which means "wise". It is used for people who have a lot of experience and knowledge.
In our courses and coaching we show you how you can benefit from the abundant source of knowledge of your own unconscious. This way you can make better decisions and achieve goals that you have striven for without success so far.

Our Principles
Everyone has the possibility to shape and change their life to be more content. Goals can be reached easily when they fit the person. This is the case when they are based on the unique wealth of experience of the person.
We are convinced (as the ZRM approach does) that every individual has the maximum faculty to know themselves what is needed so that they can develop themselves in a good way. Every person has an inner instance that knows what fits and what does not fit them. As ZRM is based on this fundamental idea it cannot be used to manipulate others.
In order to give up old habits and acquire new behaviour patterns, you definitvely need the appropriate inner attitude which one can find only for themselves. Motivation that comes from the outside does not have a long-lasting effect.
Goals that define a concrete behaviour, like SMART goals, are often not very motivating. The ZRM has developed a new goal type called motto goals, which describe an attitude. You can only find the motivation and the energy to change your attitude and in consequence your behaviour with your self-chosen motto goal.
Our Vision
The results from today's neuroscience and motivation psychology help us to understand inner processes better and we can use this knowledge to change our way of thinking and acting. At Abundana we like to pass on this knowledge and we strive to keep up our knowledge in these fields up-to-date.
ZRM® and the PSI personality test are known in German-speaking areas. We want to make these tools available to in French-speaking regions and English-speaking companies.
