Welcome to ‘Light Your Fire!’
We are delighted that you have the courage to take control of your life in a more conscious way.
‘Light Your Fire!’ is a structured social skills training programme that helps people to become more aware of their own abilities, take responsibility for their actions and pursue their personal goals more clearly.
This programme is aimed at both NADEUM-WIKO members and interested individuals who would like to develop personally.
Support from trainers – why it is important
NADEUM-WIKO members are accompanied by a qualified trainer during training. Interested parties can also perform the exercises independently. However, our experience shows that expert guidance is very helpful in order to complete this training consciously, sustainably and effectively. The programme consists of daily exercises that build on each other.
A trainer:
- recognises individual progress,
- adapts content and pace,
- explains background information in more detail,
- provides support during motivational phases,
- and helps to divide exercises into meaningful sections.
Not everyone learns at the same speed — and this is precisely where personal support comes in.
Active participation instead of mere attendance
‘Light Your Fire!’ is not a passive course.
Listening alone is not enough.
The exercises must be carried out actively, consciously and regularly so that new patterns of thinking and behaviour can become anchored in the subconscious.
The aim is to ensure that constructive action later becomes automatic and natural.
Honesty towards oneself and others forms the basis for lasting success.
The roots of ‘Light Your Fire!’
The content of this training programme is based on the work of
Jack Canfield (USA) and Martin Laschkolnig (Austria).
As part of his certification, Andreas, a prospective social skills trainer, developed his own training concept that combines and restructures key elements of these approaches. After professional review, he received approval to implement this programme under the name ‘Light Your Fire!’
Together with Georg-Josef, the founder of NADEUM, the training was further developed and embedded in a social context.
The principles of success I–VI
The six exercises in ‘Light Your Fire!’ are based on the Success Principles I–VI.
People who have consistently applied this programme often report:
- greater self-confidence,
- clearer goal orientation,
- better decision-making skills,
- and a more conscious approach to themselves and others.
What are the effects of this training?
‘Light Your Fire!’ strengthens personal responsibility.
In many areas of life, external structures — organisations, traditions, social expectations or institutions — take on important orientational functions. At the same time, one’s own scope for action can fade into the background.
This training does not start externally, but inside the individual:
with the question,
what can I influence myself — here and now?
Personal responsibility is not a contradiction
Acting independently does not mean rejecting or questioning existing structures.
It means acting more consciously, clearly and constructively within your own capabilities.
People who know their strengths, set goals and treat others with respect often experience greater inner satisfaction — regardless of their background, culture or social environment.
Your personal path
Belonging is a basic human need — in the family, in communities and in groups.
At the same time, growing up marks the beginning of a personal journey:
taking responsibility for one’s own thoughts, feelings and actions.
When people feel that they have no influence over their lives, this often leads to inner dissatisfaction.
‘Light Your Fire!’ helps you to become more aware of your inner scope for action again.
Prerequisite for success
The most important factor is a self-chosen goal.
People who act positively, kindly and constructively often attract other people with similar values and ideas.
This is how development happens — step by step.
