Session 1 on the Promenade Deck with Sharleen Smith: Unpacking Your Luggage…

and Life. Sometimes our life, past experiences, hang-ups, emotions or relationship

negative and repack the positive?

Session 2 on the Promenade Deck with Ronda Walker: Deciding on a Destination:

Dream Dreams and Set Goals. The world is your oyster! There are many exciting

opportunities and fulfilling adventures awaiting you. However, if you don’t decide

where you want to go and set some specific goals for your journey, you will wander

aimlessly and never reach your destination. Discover all of your travel options, then

decide on the destination that suits you best. Once you choose your ideal

destination – then do what you need to do to get there!

Session 3 and Lunch at the Captain’s Table with Joel Hughes & Jane Goodson:

Be the Captain of Your Ship. Secure the Bow and Stern because your ship is setting

course for the big horizon. Get excited to hear from Joel Hughes and Dr. Jane

Goodson on how you can handle the “open water” as captain of your life. We will

discuss the levels of your S.H.I.P. so you are sure not to sink when out at sea.

1:00 p.m. - 1:15 p.m. Break (Move to the Promenade Deck)

1:15pm - 2:15 p.m.

Session 4 on the Promenade Deck with Michael Jackson: Make Your Life a Full

Time Excursion. When taking a cruise, we leave the daily grind of life and work. But

even on our most desired cruise, we can become bored and even anxious about

being on the ship. The solution? Take excursions. Even the best lived life needs

periodic breaks or excursions. These excursions can reenergize, revitalize and

motivate us to be our best selves, do our best work and live our best lives.

Making Memories Last. You have had an amazing time cruising, met new friends

have learned and actually maintain those new friendships and apply your new skills

to achieve ultimate personal and professional success.
