How to Break Through Before You Break Down: Negotiating the 3 P’s – Perfectionism, Procrastination and Paralysis

 

The desire to change is very different from actually making a change. Many people get "stuck" when they most want to make a change, whether it's personal, work-related, or involves the creative process. When we don't succeed in making a change, the costs can be great: depression, despair, self-hatred, boredom. This practical and inspirational introductory workshop will examine the fundamental ingredients of the process of change and the nature of courage. Participants can expect a lively, respectful, and insightful day with time for contemplation as well as interaction. Feel free to bring personal as well as work-related questions and problems. Topics include: *The search for meaning: how not to waste your time picking all the low-hanging fruit *Model of change: pain points and analgesics *Indicators that change is needed: voices in the night and nightmares in our closet *Limiting processes: the inner languages of not changing *Effective strategies for change *Risk-taking: what holds us back, what opens doors *Real and imagined consequences of change *Difficulties of both success and failure and strategies to survive both.
