Motivational workshops (Date TBC)
These workshops are designed to help people to take a good look inside themselves; to understand what motivates, as well as demotivates us from achieving our goals, both individually and within groups.
This interactive day also allows for introspection, which often leads to discovery and a positive motivational experience. we look at the habits of highly motivated people, and the psychology that a positive mindset can produce. We also look at the reasons often used to prevent us achieving our goals, how to identify and eliminate these obstacles that may otherwise hold us back.
