What are instructor specialists and what do they do?

Our instructors are specialists in education &/or counseling, who work with healthy clients seeking personal & spiritual growth and development.  Personal development involves accepting personal responsibility for growth in the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual areas.  As a result, a person can then live a more productive and fulfilling life.  This is achieved through the growth and development of life skills.  The process includes setting, planning & achieving goals to improve the desired performance of skills as well as gaining greater knowledge in various areas of life.  The instructor initiates and motivates the learning process by providing programs, presentations, and instruction that may include: written lessons, educational activities, teaching techniques and strategies.  In addition, steps are provided to apply and practice desired skills to reinforce them for improved performance.  In order to increase client retention and thus longer lasting results from the learning process, the client participates in the advanced methods that integrate the application of the four learning modalities.  In this way, the client can work productively towards reaching their highest potential.  Instructors work with the client’s primarily in the present and future life situations. 

What is personal growth and development and how can it help me?

Personal growth and development is a disciplined, personal pursuit of change and growth to improve self-awareness, identity, skills, and potential to enhance the quality of life. It refers to one of the most important aspects of our lives because it helps us achieve our personal goals and dreams.  The process often begins with a life event that inspires improvement and empowerment to discover your greatest potential.  It can be a transformational process, in which improvements experienced impact all areas of life: mental, emotional, physical, & spiritual.  As a result of personal growth, life becomes more satisfying and meaningful. 

Do I really need personal growth and development?

Seeking personal growth and development is a personal choice.  Many clients seek personal growth to gain new knowledge, skills, and competencies.  Furthermore, clients are sometimes unsatisfied with a particular area or direction in their life and wish to make the changes that will produce lasting results.  To achieve change and create a more fulfilling life, participation in the personal growth and development process is essential. Once this process begins, the results are endless.  Clients find meaning and purpose in their lives as they continue to achieve their life goals.  New skills are learned and talents are often discovered in the process; relationships are strengthened and new ones are more easily developed.  What about you?  What are your dreams?
