Over the last 2 years I have been compiling a workshop for teenagers based upon the topics about which I write and speak. I’ve now completed the test runs for the workshops to rave reviews, and am offering a one day workshop to teenagers in grade specific groups. Minimum 6 and maximum 16 participants grouped in Grade 8-9’s together and Grade 10-12’s together.

Even though the January workshops are aimed at teenagers, the format does allow for parents, entrepreneurs and teachers to enjoy the program.

All the workshop details, including dates, costs and venue are listed below. Reviews pertaining to the workshop can be viewed at www.calminstorm.com/workshops

Goal-Setting and Development of Self Workshops for Teenagers.

• Whether wanting to get better grades, play first team at a sport, or just wanting to understand oneself better, this one day workshop gives teens the tools needed to do so
• Having goals is one thing, but achieving them takes time, self-understanding, and perseverance. This interactive workshop explores the practical tools and concepts that are needed, and covers the following ideas:

1. The gift of imagination – the seed from which our goals, dreams and creativity blossom.
2. Identifying and breaking down our dreams by setting goals so that the first step appears in front of us. Rewarding ourselves along the journey.
3. Discovering who we are through understanding our values.
4. Self- belief by identifying and knowing our talents and passions and not by comparing ourselves to others.
5.  How the conscious and sub conscious mind works – manifesting our believed thoughts.
6. The importance of being grateful for what we have.
7. Mind-mapping – an inclusive way of thinking.
8. The importance of affirmations.
9. Visualisation techniques to help convince the mind that our dreams have already manifested.
10. Incorporating the steps above in a practical way into our everyday lives.
11. ½ day follow up session – 4- 6 weeks after the workshop
