Online-Development Programme: Psychology of action: what moves us forward, and what, on the contrary, stops us?. Date: 26 October2026. Time: 17:00 19:00. Language: Ukrainian. Place: Will be online. Why do some people confidently move towards their goals, even when it’s difficult, while others put off important decisions for years, doubting themselves and waiting for the “perfect moment”?
The answer often lies not in talent or willpower, but in how our psychology works. Motivation fades, discipline fails, the inner critic convinces us that we are not good enough, perfectionism forces us to endlessly postpone actions, and imposter syndrome prevents us from seeing our own achievements.
The biggest changes do not begin when circumstances change. They begin when our attitude towards ourselves changes.
EBA Management Development Centre, together with Olena Markina, invites you to participate in the new Online-Development Programme: Psychology of action: what moves us forward, and what, on the contrary, stops us?

You will learn to recognize your own drivers and typical motivation traps.
You will be able to consciously maintain motivation even in difficult periods.

You will understand the mechanism of the vicious circle of self-criticism and how to get out of it.
