How to make faster progress
Most people find they make faster and more significant progress when they participate in a series of courses.
As humans, we psychologically grow in a zig-zag pattern – we need time to make the kind of shifts we want in our lives.
Therefore I offer a range of follow-on courses and workshops designed for those who are serious about building confidence and wish to continue to expand and grow.
You’ll find some of these on this page.
How to book
To book for one of these courses, visit the course webpage where you can book online.
If you’re not sure which course is right for you, we suggest you set up a time to speak to me about your situation.
Follow On and Advanced Courses
Once you’ve experienced one of our Introductory Courses, you will be in a good place to grow your confidence through our Advanced Courses.
These courses build on the work of the Introductory Courses and assume you have some familiarity or comfort with the adapted drama we use in the Sunflower Effect.
They are open to newcomers but if you feel working with drama might be challenging for you, we suggest starting off with one of our Introductory Courses.
