OVERCOME NEGATIVE THINKING & INCREASE SELF CONFIDENCE

When: Tuesday 18 March, 9:30am – 11:30am
Where: The Kollective, 145 Seventeenth Ave, Tauranga
Cost: $38

Picture a friend who always whispers discouraging words, downplaying your achievements and exaggerating your flaws. Not the most encouraging companion, right? But this is exactly what negative self-talk feels like – a voice that erodes your confidence and weighs down your spirit.

In this workshop you will gain insights into unhelpful internal dialogue and common triggers, catch distortions and flawed thinking patterns, and gain practical steps to help reframe negative self-talk and become more confident.

The workshop will be delivered by Ciska Vogelzang from Avisa Services. With almost three decades of experience in counselling and organisational psychology (including training and facilitation), Ciska’s aim is to assist with empowerment, in personal life or organisational settings. She offers practical training based on best practice in an interesting, challenging and fun environment.
