Workshops are typically three hours and can be customized to meet individual needs.</p>
<p>In the winter of 2010, we are partnering with Okemos Community Education in Okemos, MI to offer two workshops :</p>
<h3><span style="font-size: 120%;">Nourishing the Heart that Serves</span></h3>
<p>This workshop is designed for people who serve others &ndash; parents, teachers, nonprofit leaders, medical professionals, therapists, volunteers, and more. Do you put yourself last because clients, patients, committees, and families come first? Even though you want to take care of yourself, you seldom take the time to do it. This workshop will give you a much-needed break to focus on yourself&mdash;to relax, to reflect, to remember why you really do love the life you&rsquo;ve chosen. You&rsquo;ll refresh your spirit and walk away with some simple tools you can use in your daily life to maintain inner peace, especially on your most stressful days.</p>
<p><strong>Date: </strong>Thursday, February 4, 2010</p>
<p><strong>Time:</strong> 6:30 - 8:30 pm</p>
<p><strong>Fee:</strong> $45</p>
<p><strong>Location: </strong>Chippewa Middle School, Okemos, MI</p>
<p><strong>Okemos Community Education Course ID#: </strong>ACE-130</p>

<h3><span style="font-size: 120%;">Communicating with Candor and Integrity</span></h3>
<p>This workshop teaches basic life coaching techniques that will help you create a way of being that is honest, open, powerful, and non-threatening. You&rsquo;ll discover ways to create a safe space for candid discussions and gather tips on hearing and sharing the truth in a way that is respectful, positive, and engaging. You will learn to step away from telling and advice giving to a place of honest communication. These skills are useful in the workplace, in your home, and for life in general.</p>

<h3><span style="font-size: 120%;">WPM Strategies&rsquo; also offers other workshops that can be customized to meet the needs of your organizatgion or group.</span>&nbsp;</h3>
<p>Here are two of our other popular workshops.</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li><strong>Surviving and Thriving in the Workplace</strong> &ndash; This workshop allows you to spend time reflecting upon your personal values and work environment and how they impact your overall life. Even when you enjoy what you do, there are times when the day-to-day challenges sap your energy and spirit. At this workshop you will gather tools to help you sustain a work environment that is joyful, affirming, respectful, and empowering.</li>
</ul>
<ul type="disc">
<li><strong>Rediscovering and Engaging Your Passion</strong> &ndash; Getting in touch with your passion will help you focus on living your life with zeal and investing your time wisely. You&rsquo;ll spend part of this workshop reflecting on your purpose and priorities. Then we&rsquo;ll take what you just learned and develop a plan of action.</li>
</ul>
<h3><span style="font-size: 120%;">Lock In Your Learning</span></h3>
<p>After a training session, don't go back to the office and resume business as usual.&nbsp; Commit to individual or group coaching to provide the time and space to lock in your learning and integrate your new found skills and plans.</p>
