Learn exactly how to juggle the multiple demands of life, work and family, while staying in control. Enjoy extraordinary energy and vitality throughout the day.

ABOUT YOUR MASTERCLASS

Does everyone around you seem much more together than you? Do others see you differently from how you see yourself? Is there a feeling of discontentment deep inside you even though your life is going well?

Most people will never have the courage to express their true self and even fewer get to truly connect with their centred self. Start today by giving yourself the gift of discovering powerful tools and techniques that allow you to bring your whole self to work and to live life with more meaning, simply by being authentically you.

You’ll uncover unconscious patterns and behaviours that are holding you back and learn how to demystify the behaviours of the people you live and work most closely with. Gain clarity and confidence around what drives your decisions and insights into what drives the decisions of those around you.

By joining this masterclass you will start to experience the clarity and confidence that comes when you connect to yourself at your core, you’ll learn what drives your decisions, and of those around you. You will begin to see how your life can be deeper and more fulfilling, and as a result, you’ll become much more effective at work and in your personal life.

MASTERCLASS AGENDA

9.00 SESSION ONE: Get to know YOU better than before

In this first session we get curious about what shaped your beliefs, values, and behaviour. When you understand this, you have the power to choose a new experience of the world, today.

The principles of self-esteem and how to live them
The mindset shifts we can make to get what we truly want

Let go of what’s holding you back, propel yourself forward on your terms

10.30 Break

10.45 SESSION TWO: Keep the power, live consciously and create effective boundaries

Boundaries give us a sense of where we begin and end and show others how to interact with us. A lack of healthy boundaries can lead to pain, anger and resentment; we effectively give our power away. Creating clear boundaries communicates what’s important to us which improves the quality of our relationships and enjoyment in our daily lives.

Boundaries vs. rules, and how they’re vastly different
Realign and focus on what you gain from having clear boundaries
Remove unwanted emotional charge and choose harmony instead
Learn to recognise when the world around you is leaving clues
Choose to live consciously instead of living on automatic

Many adults have a fractured relationship with meeting their own needs. Often, we try to meet our needs externally through work, friendships, family and partnerships only to find ourselves lacking. Learning to connect to, and appreciate, our internal needs is vital to our ongoing happiness and fulfilment.

Our internal and external worlds, and how they’re worlds apart
How to quit elevating others’ needs before your own
Identify and connect to your desired needs resourcefully
Learn the secrets to living a most connected life

Learn how to communicate the rich language of emotions congruently with your words, emotions and body
Open up emotions you may not have felt in a while to bring joy and healing
