Are you the parent of a teenage girl aged 13 to 16?
Are you worried that she feels under pressure to fit in and be somebody she isn't?
Are you concerned that she lacks confidence and has low self-esteem?
If you have answered yes to the above questions then carry on reading....
This summer I will be offering my signature personal development programme, SHIFT, to small groups of girls in Dorset. Up until now, the programme has only been available through schools and training providers, and to a limited number of young people on a 1:1 basis, on behalf of their parents.
The aim of the programme is for girls to discover who they really are, and what they are really passionate about. It encourages girls to think differently and through powerful exercises learn:
-
what their values are
- what is already great about them
- what obstacles and behaviour are holding them back
- how to overcome their obstacles
- the importance of stretching themselves
- how to set positive goals and create the life they want to live
SHIFT was born out of my concern for the pressure girls face in today's modern society, the pressure to achieve perfection in their appearance and in their education. It was named after one of my favourite quotes by Sharon Salzberg "Life is like an ever shifting kaleidoscope: a slight shift and all patterns alter." I firmly believe that by making small shifts we can make big changes in our lives, and the programme is about helping girls to understand and believe this too.
It was launched in September 2010, and as it approaches it's first birthday, I am offering girls, who may not otherwise be given the opportunity, the chance to experience this powerful programme.
Girls leave the SHIFT programme feeling positive and optimistic. SHIFT provides them with a tool kit that enables them to continue improving their confidence, self esteem and emotional well being, well after they leave the programme. Most importantly, what they learn about themselves during the day will enable them to make confident and positive decisions in the future.
The SHIFT summer workshops will be delivered to groups of no more than ten, and take place over the course of a day. The usual rate is £100 per person, however, this summer I am offering a 25% discount, bringing the cost down to just £75! For this girls get:
-
a SHIFT workbook, which they take home at the end of the programme
-
refreshments and lunch during the course of the day
-
the opportunity to have fun and make new friends
-
and.... most importantly, the chance to discover who they really are
Adolescence can be a confusing and frustrating time, particularly for those young people who feel under pressure and struggle to identify and connect with who they really are. The SHIFT programme can help to minimise this confusion and frustration.
Summer workshops will take place on Tuesday 26th and Thursday 28th July 2011, at venue's in Wimborne and Bournemouth. To book a place, or to find out more contact me today on 07779 341201 or email enquiries@larawilliamscoaching.co.uk
