TOPICS 1 - 3

Confidence

This is an area most people understand, you know if you have it, you know if you don't, however we often don't realise how to use it.

 

Confidence is also in flux, some situations we are happy to handle confidently, however, some situations we avoid or handle badly. If you handle a situation not feeling very confident this will lead to less control and this will lead to you bashing your self esteem which will make you less confident! and the circle will go on and usually in one direction, down!

 

I have designed sessions to find out the level of your confidence via quiz, test and role play. Once gauging your level we will investigate if you want to use it better or deal with any particular situations you find difficult.

 

Much of the work done in this confidence course/workshop or as an individual will be via discussion, role play, quiz, sometimes homework, question and answer slots and goal setting.

Communication

Communication is not just language, and sometimes language is not enough to interact with others.

These sessions will teach you various forms of communication which are not specialised but are at your fingertips.

The techniques are ones in which I have used in counselling with various people and organisations and find them true and tested with good results.

 

The sessions will include; using four senses exploring with others using artist materials, metaphors and music,  letter writing for inner release, listening without making judgements. Role play in pairs and group disscusion.

Body Language

Body language can be very usefull, particularly if your dealing with people who may not be quite what they seem. In work or social situations we do use body language, however, we often dont realise it, however we sometimes just get 'feelings' but confused to why.

 Often we think we are giving strong statements about how we are with others and usually positive, but if we ever see ourselves on film or hear ourselves on a tape recorder we gasp! 'thats not me, I didnt realise I do that' etc.

 

So, these sessions will identify how you see yourself, how others see you and how you can become aware of your body without being conscious of yourself. We will also look at how to read others in certain situations and how to handle such times.

we will use role play, questions & answers,  and analyse our own body language while making true and false statements to the rest of the group. When you have an understanding of body language it can make communication a little easier to understand.
