Grow Holistically To Achieve Your Goals.
Most educators will agree that academic success is vital to the development of young people into happy, healthy, successful and resilient adults. However, until they develop the skills to better cope with the other challenges in their lives, it is often very difficult, if not impossible, for many students to excel in the classroom. Our school/university workshops and masterclasses provide the skills for young people to cultivate a Growth Mindset alongside a Growth Heartset.
Gratitude
Rewire the brain by celebrating ‘wins’ and blessings.
Learn how to create a daily habit of emotive gratitude journalling to live in a state of positivity; we learn faster when we are happy.
Resilience
Use powerful strategies to help you continue to evolve and grow - even during tough times.
We look deeper into habits and internal self talk and discover how to respond with tenacity when an obstacle (a disguised opportunity) lands in your path. This is critical to your growth as a human being.
Intuition
Looking inside and not outside.
Three bricklayers are asked, “What are you doing?” The first says, “I am laying bricks.” The second says, “I am building a church.” The third says, “I am building the house of God.” The first bricklayer has a job. The second has a career. The third has a calling.
Today
Why mindfulness matters and what the heck is it?
Discover how small is big and how one day is a reflection of your life. Learn how to become ‘calm’ by being in the moment - the space in which you are at now and will never be in again and have never been in before. Practice turning from “fight or flight” – the ever alert state that we find ourselves in a modern world of reacting to a flood of news and notifications – to a state of “rest and ease”; helping our minds and bodies rest.
