Stop Procrastination: Conquering Procrastination
Put time on your side. Procrastination is something that everyone does at some time. Not only is time wasted, but self-esteem is also eroded as we feel out of control. It creates a never-ending cycle, often difficult to break. But you don’t have to live with it forever. This course introduces a fresh approach and new understanding of how and why we procrastinate, and provides a comprehensive plan to overcome the causes and eliminate the effects of procrastination.

Learn how to manage stress and develop self-discipline to deal with excuses, perfectionism and comfort zones. If you are a professional, manager, student, entrepreneur, writer, or homemaker, this session will give you tips to help you conquer procrastination.

Goal Setting: Your Blueprint for Success
At the root of procrastination, poor concentration and lack of motivation is the lack of clear goals. Goal setting is the most important achievement skill. So, why do so few people do it? Because they have never been taught how. An understanding of the psychology behind goal setting significantly increases your likelihood of following. Create a balanced life by establishing goals in 3 major areas; family/personal, business/career, self-improvement. “Program” your subconscious to achieve goals more quickly.

The Virtues Project Workshops
The Virtues Project™ is an initiative that started as simple rules and basic concepts for parents so they could give their children solid moral principles by which to live. It has developed into 5 strategies by which we can all check the integrity of our daily lives. The strategies include using the language of the Virtues for building self-esteem; a way of looking at every moment in our lives as a valuable lesson; tools and skills for identifying and setting boundaries - personal and otherwise; an honoring and development of our spiritual nature; and a most effective method of offering listening and guidance for seeking inner truth. Today the project is being used throughout the world (in over 85 countries) in schools, corporations and penitentiaries.
