Steps Towards Personal Improvement8 Weeks

An essential ingredient for anyone in search of achieving success in life. A range of workshops designed and delivered by Sixth Sense Learning to specifically tackle common personal development challenges.As we move through life, it can feel like other people are in control. This is very demotivating and can leave us feeling less worth for ourselves. Being in control is instrumental in life’s success, seizing opportunity and making choices with complete consideration for the consequence may sound easy but often is not.Once we take control and get in the driving seat, we need to decide where we are going. Many of us have dreams but very rarely do we translate them into goals or ambitions.People are quick to criticise and tell you why it won’t work, and as people, we are great at procrastinating and not taking action. Our programme tackles all of that and much more.
