Pathway to
LIFE CHANGES
CHANGE CAN BE FORCED UPON US
- big birthday, divorce, redundancy, unforeseen life events
CHANGE CAN BE SOMETHING WE DREAM ABOUT
- career plans, ambitions, dreams, retirement
CHANGE CAN BE SOMETHING WE FEAR
- a step into the unknown, away from familiar territory
Whether change is something you choose, or something you cannot avoid,
YOU should take control.
Sometimes making decisions can be difficult.
Sometimes we need help to clarify the pathway to the next stage of our lives.
The next stage of your life will be shaped by your experience of the past,
the issues that face you in the present, and your hopes and aspirations for the future.
The Workshop
Make the future you dream of, become a reality.
Learn how to be your own life coach and take your personal development into your own hands.
Each step is made easy with entertaining workshops where you will learn the skills and techniques required for success.
Understand the key elements that formed you in your past
Reflect on the important issues that affect you in the present
Visualise your ideal future
Plan steps that will take you toward that future
Create your own Pathway to Your Future workbook planner to take away with you
GROUP ACTIVITIES
Each day you will learn a new technique in a group setting in a fun and entertaining way.
INDIVIDUAL SUPPORT
The group sessions will be followed up with individual support where you can apply the techniques learned in the morning sessions to your own life planning.
DAILY PROGRESS
Day by day we will help you build up a picture of the things that have shaped you, the issues that face you, the character of your ideal future and the steps and stages that you want to take to make your future a reality.
What to expect:
Each day is structured in a similar way.
Each morning we take the theme for the day and learn new skills and techniques through enjoyable group exercises. The group work is based around imaginary topics so that you can learn the skills without having to expose your own history or feelings. Of course, you can share your hopes and feelings as much as you want and people often do, but equally you can be as private as you want, still play a full part in the group work and learn just as much about the skills and techniques.
THEN WE HAVE LUNCH!!
In the afternoons you take the techniques and skills learned in the morning and apply them to your own life planning. We support you by helping you to implement those techniques and skills, whilst leaving you space to create your own life story. In this way we empower you to plan your life without taking the process out of your hands.
The combination of group exercises and individual work creates a great balance between serious personal focus and entertaining group activity.

How did we do that? How did we negotiate the obstacles in order to get here?
