• 12 Week Confidence Building Programme

The Programme: Designed and facilitated by Diane Southam

The programme takes a holistic view of personal development, and aims to build confidence in three areas of Body, Mind and Spirit. The programme takes the view that while some women may have a surfeit of confidence in one area of thier lives, and an acute lack in another, there is usually a low confidence overlap, and always room for improvement.

Confident Creative Communication:

Through a series of movement, voice and breathing exercises, you will learn to free up your body and release your voice. You will also explore your creativity, and develop your communication skills with a view to expressing yourself more authentically and spontaneously.

Confidence Busters and Boosters:

Here you will look at the psycological barriers which prevent you from moving forward in your life, and through discussion, exercise and role-play, explore ways in which to challenge and overcome them. You will be asked to evaluate your confidence levels in all areas of your life, and make a "Goal Statement" of what you aim to acheive on the programme.

Inner Confidence:

Establishing a solid 'centred' confidence from within is an intergral part of of this programme. Through
employing a variety of techniques including relaxation, guided meditation, visualisation, centering exercises and affirmations, you will be encouraged to connect with your spiritual core, and to draw on its resources of strength, wisdom, tranquility and confidence.

To experience rewarding lives, successful career and fulfilling relationships, we need confidence. Yet many of us lack this vital ingredient, and so never achieve our full potential.

Who would benefit?

• Women who find that a confidence deficiency stops their lives or careers from developing, or prevents them from fulfilling long-held personal ambitions.

• Women who outwardly appear successful and in control, but who doubt themselves and their abilities, and struggle on a daily basis.

• Women who are currently experiencing low confidence, due to depression or stress resulting from, for example, a job loss or a relationship break-up.

• Women who feel they are not making the most of their communication abilities or inter-personal skills, and wish to express themselves more authentically.

• While the sessions are supportive, empathic and fun, you need to possess a fairly high level of self-motivation, as factsheets and worksheets accompany each session, and you wil be asked to evaluate your confidence levels in all areas of your life, and make a Goal Statement of what you aim to acheive on the programme.

Starting on Wednesday evening 22nd May 2002 (Exact time to be confirmed). Each session is 2 hours long. £35 per session. Please contact the clinic to book a free consultation with the facilitator.

You are advised to wear loose comfortable clothing.
