you. Of all the judgments you make in life, none is as important as the one you make about yourself. Without some measure of self-worth, life can be enormously painful. During this oneday course you will discover some simple techniques that dramatically change how you feel about yourself. You will learn how to recognize the importance of learning selfacceptance and nurturing your sense of self.
Introduction and Course Overview
You will spend the first part of the day getting to know participants and discussing what
will take place during the course. Students will also have an opportunity to identify their
personal learning objectives.
Anxiety Inventory
As a pre-assignment, participants were asked to complete an anxiety inventory. We will
discuss the test in general during this session.
Building Your Self-Esteem
During this session, you will lead a discussion around two key questions: Just what does
self-esteem mean? What are some of the things that affect our self-esteem?
Impressions
During this session, participants will brainstorm things that create a positive impression
and a negative impression. Participants will also identify an action item to change in the
next 21 days.
Fake it ‘til You Make It
Sometimes we must put on a brave front even if we don’t feel like it. During this session
we will discuss just how to do this and when it is
appropriate.
Increasing Our Self-Esteem
So far we have looked at external things that affect a
person’s self-esteem. Now we will focus on the internal
factors; the things that we think about ourselves.
Self Confidence
During this session, we will discuss seven easy ways to increase your confidence.
The Power of Thoughts
Through personal exercises, small presentations, and a case study, participants will
explore how thoughts can impact a person’s self esteem.
Wipe Out Worry
Everyone worries, but too much worrying can be bad for your health. We will discuss
four techniques that participants can use to manage worrying.
Ask for What You Want
Asking for something can be hard, especially if you don’t feel confident. This session will
discuss four ways to successfully ask for what you want. Participants will then apply the
knowledge to a case study.
Communication
The way we view the world, or the windows through which we see the world, can either
help or hinder our communication with others. During this session, participants will
identify their windows. Then, through large group discussion, they will identify whether
those windows are a positive or negative influence.
Connecting with People
Dale Carnegie, the author of How to Win Friends and Influence People, gave us several
important principles to consider and to incorporate into our lives to help us better
connect with our fellow humans. We will discuss seven of his principles in this session.
Behavior Cost-Benefit Analysis
To sum up what participants have learned, they will be asked to take a look at the
behaviors they want to change and the possible costs and benefits of those changes.
Course Wrap-Up
At the end of the day, students will have an opportunity to ask questions and fill out an
action plan.
About the courses
The workshops are a fun & entertaining learning experience. We highlight skills throughout the course and provide practical information on solving current issues and situations. By applying the information personally to each of the participants we help provide real solutions for each individual.
The way we deliver
We discuss with participants what they would like to obtain from each course. This way the facilitator knows exactly what information will be useful to each individual. It also means each course is custom made to suit the individuals at the course and our participants can learn more at a quicker pace without covering material that may not be required. By learning from each other within the course the participants can take real skills back to the workplace.
This helps everyone make the most of the training. Here are some additional details on why many people choose a Paramount course.
