What's the Use of
Worrying:
Worrying
can be a healthy warning signal that alerts us to real dangers and helps
us prepare for the future. But worrying for no reason only leads to frantic days and
sleepless nights. This workshop will help you differentiate between
what’s worth worrying about and what’s not worth another thought. We’ll show you how to curb needless worrying so that
you can give your attention to what really matters – and get more
sleep.

Let Go of
Self-limiting Beliefs:

Comfort with
Conflict:
Most people hate conflict
and avoid it at all costs. This workshop will help you see what it is
about conflict that gives it such a bad name. We've found that if
you understand conflict, then you can deal with it more constructively
and even get comfortable with it. We’ll show you how conflict
can be a tool for creativity and a doorway to deeper, more intimate
relationships.

better choices and be more successful in all areas of life – if we're
willing to listen to what it has to say. This presentation will

solution-finding resource. We help you learn how to tap into your

power.

Face of Change: The
one constant in life is change, so why are we so unsettled by it?
This workshop will show you how to weather the inevitable
transitions of life -- everything from break-ups to corporate downsizing

perspective. You’ll learn
how to view change as a welcome opportunity for personal growth, not
just a jarring interruption.

Getting Back on
Track When Life Knocks You Down: It's
easy to stay positive about your goals when life is just clipping along.
But what happens when a major life event, such as a break-up, illness,
injury, or job loss knocks you off your path? During this program
we show you how to get through tough times, believe in yourself despite
what is going on around you, and get your motivation and faith back.
There will be no workshop in December.
