  1. Assertiveness

    This seminar is offered exclusively to men, exclusively to women or to a mixed group and is designed to focus on the specific issues of the audience.

    Learn to stand up for yourself and have your point of view heard. Enhance your communication skills, improve your self-esteem and your self-confidence. Whether for business or personal use, this is an opportunity to improve relationships and discover the skills that will empower you.

    As an added feature, we offer a Self-Defense For Women component. It is hard to be truly assertive when feeling like a potential victim. You will learn Awareness Strategies and Self-Defense Tactics that are easy to learn and perform, no matter what your age or physical ability.

  2. Self-Esteem

    This seminar is offered exclusively to men, exclusively to women or to a mixed group and is designed to focus on the specific issues of the audience.

    Always giving to others…but what about you? Don’t let your poor self-esteem hold you back from your true potential.

    You will gain a new understanding of yourself and your self-defeating patterns, the confidence to make changes in your life and the ability to delegate. You will learn how to relax through a guided imagery journey and a relaxation hypnosis. Assertiveness training and a path to forgiveness will complete the day so that you can learn to let go of past anger, have fun and be free.

  3. Anger Management

    Anger is an emotion just like any other. It acts like a signal to tell us that something is wrong. It may come from the past or the present but no matter what its source, it can get us into much difficulty. Anger is nothing to feel guilty about, because it is normal. It is what you do with your anger that can cause problems.

    In this seminar you will learn to understand anger and how to express anger constructively. You will learn stress reduction techniques and gain the tools necessary to manage your stress and anger levels. Anger that is out of control can cause many physical, personal, relationship and employment difficulties. Don’t let anger control you. Come and learn to control anger.

  4. Dealing With Difficult People

    Communication skills are important in any interaction but we often forget their importance in employment settings. We do not get to choose our co-workers or our customers. How do we make it through the day without alienating ourselves from others or letting them push us beyond our limits? Come and learn the skills of dealing with difficult people. You will meet the major personality types and learn to disarm them in a way that leaves everyone satisfied.

  5. Love Without Violence

    Teens are the focus of this programme. We teach the teens about abuse in relationships. With the increase in date rape and violence in high school aged couples, young people must address these critical and possibly life threatening issues in an open and safe environment. They need information about topics such as what constitutes consensual sex, what attitudes express love and what attitudes express control, emotional and verbal abuse, and the warning signs of physical abuse.

    The programme has been offered to several Canadian high school teens and has been declared a tremendous success on every occasion.

  6. Communication Skills for Couples

    Mars or Venus? The dance? Codependent? The games people play? Whatever you call it, communication skills can make or break a relationship. No matter how good your intentions, if you and your partner are speaking different languages, you will have difficulties in all areas of the relationship. Learning ways to clarify meaning, express emotion and expectations, establish roles and rules and discuss those ‘touchy’ subjects all in a non-aggressive, non-confrontational manner will enrich your lives and all your interactions.

    This seminar is designed with the intention that couples attend together for best results.

  7. A Different Road

    This daylong workshop will benefit those men or women who have experienced separation or divorce. You will learn how to let go of the bitterness and anger and develop techniques for healthy relationship building. You will rebuild self-esteem and confidence and let go of the past so that you can move into the future.

    Associate Barb Lyons facilitates this program.

  8. Power Point Training

    Power point is being used for so many applications. It is an extremely powerful tool and very easy to learn and use. Gain knowledge that will allow you to make presentations that will keep your audience involved. Become skilled at presenting techniques that take full advantage of Power Point technology.

    Associate Wendy Harrison facilitates this program.

  9. Self Defense for Women

    Self Defense for Women teaches women the techniques to protect themselves in crisis situations through the use of Jiu-Jitsu taught by a 3rd degree black belt female instructor and her partner. Women can quickly learn the basics in a safe, non-threatening atmosphere. This programme can be combined with Assertiveness for Women.

    Associate Linda Bromley facilitates this program.
