The Power of Positive Language
These monthly sessions are facilitated by trained mental health providers and is offered in person or virtually via Zoom.
Words are one of our greatest weapons and should be used wisely. Many underestimate the enormous power that exists within the words that we use every day. Do you speak to yourself as if you are speaking to your best friend or your worst enemy?
In this workshop, participants will learn how to create, control, and influence using positive language. Since words affect the way you feel, think, and behave, why not choose to use positive ones to control your brain, performance in life, and influence your health? This workshop will help you to learn and understand the power that exists in you that you can execute through your words. Contact us to schedule your session!

Values
These monthly sessions are facilitated by trained mental health providers and is offered in person or virtually via Zoom.
Values govern the way we live our lives. Beliefs and values control what you think and feel. Where do your beliefs and values come from? Values are what brings distinction to your life. You do not find them, you choose them. Honoring your values is how you reach fulfillment in life.
In this workshop, participants will identify their values and learn their behaviors that support and demonstrate their values. Since values serve as a compass in our life, it is essential for you to have a clarity on what your values are and what your team’s values are if you are a part of an organization.
