Mentorship 

Based on experiences from nearly 30 years in surgery and pharmaceutical medicine, Dr Jürs offers tailor-made and individual mentorship programs for professionals from academia or industry. 

Critical areas of mentorship include personal development and career planning. Career planning is a crucial prerequisite to reaching objectives within defined time frames. 

While the primary skill in the past for a successful career was the stress-resistant reproduction of knowledge, numbers, and facts, today's managers must also be competent in all areas of modern leadership, especially the increasingly important area of "soft skills".

Soft skills competencies manifest by successfully motivating teams, managing conflict, building up and maintaining network(s) internally as well as externally, being dedicated towards life-long learning, being courageous in taking decisions (especially in situations where not all information needed is available), innovative, strategic thinking, and much much more.  

As it is usually not common to find individuals demonstrating all skills by nature, it does mean that we all have to work on skills that we find not well-developed. 

Consequently, this means that planning a successful career takes all necessary skills needed in the future into consideration at an early point in time, including the identification of "weak spots". 

Life-long learning will, therefore, never stop and skills not that strong will not necessarily become our main asset, but they might.
