CIIS Public Programs Offerings by the Center for Personal Growth

Monika Broecker and Mariah Howard will be teaching in the Public Programs at CIIS this fall. Please check out our two programs:

Becoming Your Own Professional Coach

Sunday, October 11
10:00AM—5:00PM
CIIS Main Building
$125
6 CEUs

We frequently experience work as unfulfilling and stressful. In order to regain control, it is crucial that we learn how to create sustainable happiness and how to better deal with challenges and stressors.

In this experiential workshop we will introduce participants to a wide range of mental, emotional, physical and spiritual practices as well as cutting-edge insights from science such as cognitive sciences and neuroscience that have been shown to increase fulfillment and motivation and creativity and decrease stress at work.

Through visually supported facilitation, participants will be guided through individual practices, partner exercises, small group work, and The World Cafe dialog process. Participants will get in touch with their inner strengths and resources to create solutions for sustainable happiness.

Please sign up here

Creating a More Sustainable Work and Lifestyle

Mondays, October 12–November 2
7:00—9:00PM
CIIS Main Building
$50
8 CEUs (MFT, LCSW, RN)

Most people spend a third or more of their lives at work. Yet many find their work unfulfilling. Aligning one’s authentic self and true passions with one’s work is essential to leading a meaningful life. Times of unemployment can be difficult, but also provide opportunities to reevaluate and redefine work.

In this experiential workshop, we will guide you through a proven process in which you will look deeply inside yourself to define your values and goals, strengths and talents, and strategies and action plans, to create the work you love. You will also learn how to overcome external and internal obstacles.

Using mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual practices and visually supported facilitation, we will assist you in finding and sustaining greater happiness and fulfillment at work. This workshop is being offered at a reduced fee to support people in professional transition due to the economy, but it is open to everyone.

“Passionate Inquiry” card sets and workbooks will be available for participants to take home.
