Presentations, Workshops, & Programs

Shared Paths programs are multi-dimensional educational programs, addressing the mind, body and spirit. They teach life skills that allow people to take better care of themselves. These educational programs can be used for increasing work satisfaction and productivity, stress management, increased creativity, personal growth, and living a healthier, happier life. They can be easily modified to qualify for continuing education credits for a variety of health care and social services practitioners.

- Medicate or Meditate?^™
  Does the word "meditation" elicit images of sitting crunched like a pretzel on a huge pillow, the smell of burning incense, twanging Asian music and chanting strange syllables? Relax -- there are countless ways to "meditate" including creative visualization (guided imagery), mindfulness, and moving meditations.
  
  According to Harvard Medical School's Mind-Body Medicine Program, eliciting the relaxation response (commonly referred to as "meditation") can be as powerful as many medications on the market.

- Spell Check™: Uncovering Your "Best Fit" Type

  When people take the MBTI© in a group setting, especially a workplace setting, they often don't have access to the one-on-one counseling process that is almost always required to separate learned or acquired behavior from inborn, natural behavior. Invest some time in yourself and your employees to check the spelling of your Myers Briggs "word".

Cognitive Restructuring learn more
- Changing Your Mind
  Thought preceeds action and emotions. Until you first learn how to change your mind, you won't make any lasting changes in how you move through the world. Basically, you have to think differently in order to act differently. Most of our thoughts are automatic, and many are subconscious. Learn how to change your automatic thoughts to move in healthier new directions.
- Everyday Joy™
  Are you someone who typically sees what's wrong with yourself, your life or other people, rather than what's right? Joy is an everyday choice, and this program will teach you techniques to become more optimistic, and more easily see and focus on the joy that is present in each and every day.
  
  In the words of the M. Scott Peck, "Life is difficult." Living with chronic or life-threatening disease, or growing up in a dysfunctional home, can sometimes create unconscious automatic thoughts that result in our going through life chronically tired and sad, as if we have blinders on to the good things that happen each and every day. Some of us our natural optimists, and others of us have to learn how to be optimistic. This program centers on Dr. Martin Seligman's "learned optimism" and resiliency training concepts, and is augmented by guided imagery, playful meditation exercises, journaling, and cognitive restructuring. Learn how to turn your "I can't" into "I can!
