Strategic Leadership Workshop
The MindBodySpirit Process: How to Coach Yourself and Others Towards Positive Behavioral Change October 17, 2009 9:00 AM – noon, Room 121 Abessinio Bldg Workshop Leaders: Dr. Jeff Kaplan and Dr. Robert Bulgarelli
Neumann University’s Strategic Leadership Program , in partnership with The Habit Change Company , will sponsor a free workshop for current students and alumni.
The Habit Change Company helps students, managers, executives, hospital patients, and others do something very hard …choose and sustain healthy behaviors over unhealthy behaviors. This 3-hour experiential workshop taps into key processes taken from a proprietary 15-month habit change process. Delivered by two of The Habit Change Company’s founders, this program is designed to help you increase your performance and your health. During this program you will take a deep and honest look at your habits in the areas of work, time management, sleep, stress management, nutrition and exercise. At the completion of the program, you will have taken the first steps towards mapping out a life plan that supports your professional and personal goals.
The objectives of this 3-hour experiential workshop are:
Learn and practice a technique to reduce stress immediately while increasing self- awareness Understand the reason people struggle with habit change and the 5 barriers that surface when attempting change Learn and use a tool to help you and your clients assess their current habits across 8 life practices Begin to understand the psychological and medical underpinnings around habit change Develop a vision for professional and personal success and begin to map out steps to help achieve this vision
The MindBodySpirit (MBS) Process, developed by The Habit Change Company, is a new approach to health and wellness, helping individuals take better control of their health, gain greater vitality, and live longer lives. Individuals that have participated in the MBS Process have experienced significant benefits including: a healthier body, peace of mind, increased self- confidence, greater vitality, better relationships, and enhanced clarity.
This fall, Neumann University is collaborating with the The Habit Change Company to offer a training program that leads to professional certification to become an executive and life coach, one of fastest growing fields in leadership, human resources and organizational development.
Space for the workshop is limited; to reserve your seat, send an email to Dr. Fred Loomis at [email protected] or call 610-361-5292.
