About this Course

This webinar is designed for those committed to understanding themselves and others more, especially parents, siblings, facilitators and community support workers.

What does it take to support others to go after their dreams, to really do what they have always imagined doing?

How can people be supported to get on with creating a passionate life for themselves?

This 2-day course is designed to provide practical insights and tools for supporting individuals in pursuing their dreams and creating a passionate life.

This energizing webinar begins with personal introspection around the ways each of us creates a life for ourselves. The unique exercises and dialogue lead to a fuller appreciation of leisure and how it can create aliveness and balance in our lives.

The webinar expands on the insights and concepts in the book “Developing Leisure Identities: A Pilot Project.”

An essential aspect of Facilitation is to understand more deeply how people come to define who they are through the roles they take up and invest in.

In my work as an independent facilitator, I have used my own biography to recognize how my leisure roles and passions have made a significant impact on how I see myself and how others come to see me. As well, it has given me major insights into how I can support those I serve to pursue meaningful and satisfying roles in their leisure.  

Join us for this transformative and relatable course coming up in one months’ time through LifePath training.

“I realize now, how important it is to have others acknowledge our growth and achievements. It makes our identity deepen and grow.”

“I learned the importance of following the lead of the person that I am assisting, and supporting them to pursue these roles one step at a time.”

“We need to pay more attention to what people are telling us, and even just acknowledge, support and help a person to keep whatever it is they love.”

“I think for me, the big take away from the course, is the value of recognizing leisure in people’s lives and how it is typically taken for granted. How do we support people to have the opportunity to truly explore, without any judgement what their passion is about, and to see where that leads?”
