Course Description:
As we move through our career and life, we often try to figure out ways to make changes to better ourselves. We tend to gravitate towards New Year's resolutions or lofty goals that would produce massive results but also require massive change. While these plans look great on paper, they are often only executable under perfect circumstances. The changes we make to achieve our goals aren't always sustainable, and when reality hits, our motivation wanes.
This course explores effective strategies that create meaningful, lasting change. By understanding boundaries, fostering curiosity, digging into our emotions, creating mindfulness triggers, and living with intention, participants will learn to make progress towards their personal and professional aspirations. The session emphasizes exploring what you want to learn, experience, and accomplish in life while focusing on how you want to feel as you pursue these goals.
