This workshop will explore:
- What you love (your passion)
- What the world needs (your mission)
- What you are good at (your vocation)
- What you can get paid for (your profession)
3. Exploring your narrative
What are the key incidents that have shaped your life so far? This session will promote a strengths-based approach by acknowledging the past and turning negatives into a positive. We must connect with our story from our past, to check into the now with greater purpose, so that we can be the best we can be in the future.
This workshop will explore:

- Preparing for interviews and sharing in social and professional settings
- Establishing a set of values that help to keep you resilient and capable in any situation

5. Your thoughts control your destiny
This session will provide you with the tools needed to develop a positive mindset. By controlling your mind, your character can guide you through stressful and uncertain times such as preparing for exams, entering the workforce and overcoming difficult obstacles in your life.
This workshop will explore:
- Thoughts become your words
- Words become your actions
- Actions become your habits
- Habits build or take away from your character
