What’s planned?
In this interactive one day training course, Dr Ray Middleton helps us to understand the importance of the stories that we believe about ourselves and how we can help other people (and ourselves) to change negative problem saturated stories into more hopeful one’s by using a number of practical techniques and good questions to help people pivot away from narratives that are holding them back from living to their full potential.
Participants get free access to 2 smartphone apps to help embed and remember the key learning points, as well as visual reminders on a postcard to take away with them. Find out more about this training HERE.
