There are two parts to this workshop:
Online materials
The workbook
Let's take a look at how you will use each and some tips for flow.
As there are three sections of content to work through, each section has been separated onto a different tab within the website. Each section can be accessed using the menu to the left, or using the links at the bottom of each page.
Each section contains multimedia content for you to explore and engage with. The sections contain many reflection activities, that will appear as shown below.
This Icon Indicates a Reflection Activity
When you see this icon, there will be questions for you to explore and a page number in the accompanying workbook where you can answer them.
The workbook is a complementary document to this workshop. We highly recommend you work through the online workshop as you work through the workbook. The workshop contains additional information and material that supports the work you’ll do here.
In this workbook, you’ll have space to make lists, draft responses, draw in the margins, and doodle. You may feel the need to bounce back and forth between the questions in Sections 1 and 2 to help you get some rich intelligence on who you are and what you’re doing right now. The more time you spend on Sections 1 and 2, the better you’ll be able to strategize for the future in section 3. This is possible for both the workbook and workshop.
In Section 3, you’ll craft an overall 10-year goal. There is also space to help you articulate and create milestones to achieve 3- and 5- year goals that may help you get your 10-year goal.
This workbook will provide space for you to answer the reflection questions posed throughout the workshop.
It is your workbook. It doesn't need to be shown to anyone. It is a tool for you to record your thoughts and feelings. Therefore, there are no "right" or "wrong" answers.
You are encouraged to journal or to free write. To say exactly what you want and how you want, with no filter and no judgment. We want you to take full advantage of the opportunity for free expression, to do as author Stephen King says "I write to discover what I think."
We highly recommend printing this workbook so that you are not limited by what your computer can do. Using your hands to write uses your brain in a way that is different than when you use a keyboard. While you’re making your way through the workbook, feel free to doodle, make lists, draw, cross out words, and whatever feels right to you.
That said, if handwriting doesn't sound like something you need, the workbook is a fillable PDF so you can type out your answers. Download the file to access the fillable sections.
Regardless of how you choose to complete it, we recommend setting yourself up somewhere you feel safe to freely acknowledge your needs, dreams, and desires without inhibition.
This is the kind of workshop that will only give you what you put into it, so make sure you set up the time and space to reflect deeply and engage meaningfully.
