Every person is looking for a good balance between autonomy, competence and connectedness (Deci & Ryan, 2000).

In the social sciences, it is considered a basic need of every person that you are looking for your own individuality in the different phases of life, that you are successful in realizing the tasks that you see before you and that you

that you also – as a person you are – want to belong to a group.

 

The people professional is constantly looking for the right balance of the three basic needs mentioned.

For himself and for the people he focuses on in his profession.

In this quest, many professionals become aware that their own development is also marked

by the preferences they have built up in their past.

Every person has certain preferences and chooses people around them who fit those preferences. 

You are not aware of many of those preferences. 

 

It's like using your hands:

You have two hands that you often use simultaneously, but you prefer to use one over the other.

You have developed a preferred hand without knowing exactly how you came to that choice.

You can write with your other hand, but the result is not optimal and certainly not easy.

​

In the same way, in seeking the balance between the three basic needs,

developed mental and psychological preferences for the performance of tasks at home and at work.

These preferences colour your balance between autonomy, competence and connectedness

and shape your chances of successful progression 

We call this your P-factor: your progression factor.
We see the P-factor as an opportunity for success.
In the event of a request for support, our advisor will make your P-factor more transparent

to be able to tackle the issue of your request for advice decisively.
