'So often we fail to recognise the potential that lies within us, and even if we do we allow it to go untapped. At times we feel we are good for nothing, ignoring the fact that there are unique strengths and capabilities within every individual if only they are given wings.

 

For years in my working life my own true potential was not only hidden, but trodden down by people who felt threatened by it. They tried to bring me down, and very nearly did. At the time I wished I could play them at their own game. Looking back I'm very glad I didn't.

 

The truth is I'm not good at manipulating people. I'm not good at office politics. And I hate having to pretend I'm not clever when I am.

 

So, I got out of the game altogether and created my own business out of little more than my own enthusiasm and a bit of good old-fashioned grit and determination. In my business everyone is encouraged to reach his or her potential. The ethos is one that encourages and rewards innovation - where there are no mistakes, only lessons to be learned. Most of all, it's a place where each person's individual character is nurtured and protected. There is no bullying, or constraining, or undermining. We're all out of our comfort zone, seeing what we're really made of.

 

Now I can truly say that every day I push the boundaries of my ability. I'm realising my potential. I've leapt off a scary precipice and survived. More than that....I've actually thrived! When we're stuck in a rut, or when life or work has shot our confidence and self-esteem to pieces, we have no energy to invest in challenging ourselves this way. We need a boost. A kick-start. Something to help us re-group and take control of our lives again. That's why the ‘Achieve Your Potential' workshop was developed and if I can help one more person start living their life sooner than I did I'll have achieved my goal.'

FAQ

 

What Is the ‘Achieve Your Potential' Workshop?

The workshop is an intensive three day personal growth seminar where participants learn how to identify, unlock and make the most of their innate talents and capabilities. Drawing on the combined experience of several leading personal consultants, business men and women, participants will cover a wide range of personal growth topics including: confidence and self-esteem, health and energy, mental wellbeing, habits and addictions, social communication, careers, finances, and relationships.

What is the format for the ‘Achieve your potential' workshop?

The workshop strikes a balance between learning and doing. On the first day we start with an introduction to personal growth, and look at what holds us back, what inspires us and what we can do to move forward positively. We look at each area in turn and encourage you to think about the areas you particularly need to work on over the following two days. At the end of the first day we take feedback from participants to allow us to tailor the remaining days to achieving their personal goals.

On the second day and third days we concentrate on the practical application of personal growth principles to the situations you face in your daily life. It's really about going back to basics - identifying and affirming your worth as an individual, developing the areas where you have potential and giving you the confidence and the tools to fulfil it - both now and in the future.

You can expect to have your perceptions challenged and your mindset altered. You may find the workshop difficult, as you may have to face up to behaviours that have held you back in the past, or confront personal demons that you've been suppressing. What we won't do is make an example of you in front of the group, or expect you to partake in pointless role-playing exercises. Both in Q&A sessions, and in general discussion, our approach will be warm and supportive - acknowledging that in life we all go through difficult times. These experiences shape us and make us who we are - compassionate, empathetic human beings with the capacity to help and support others in the same position.
