What People Are Saying
“The Skills have taught me how to let go or shift some of the thought processes that held me back for so long. Many of the most impactful Skills I learned are small exercises that change the way I think about anything hard in my life. I used to not be able to do my work because of various mental blocks, now I have a few go-to Skills that help me overcome those mental hurdles.”
— M.F.
“Skills have been helpful in making me more self-aware of when I am doing something that is more ineffective than productive, thus improving workflow.”
-J.A.
“I have gotten really good at asking for what I need and holding firm boundaries at work and with others. The Skills have given me confidence to hold boundaries and I can say “no,” I show up consistently and accomplish my goals in ways that work for me.”
— E.R.
“Through the Skills group sessions, I grew in my ability to navigate stress and hardships in all areas of my life, therefore allowing me to thrive better in both school and work. I gained many techniques to make work and school more manageable and generative. The Skills taught me that there is freedom that emerges as a result of dialectical and non-judgmental thinking.
Also the Skills sessions helped me to find ways to enhance my focus, access the flow state of work, grow in my resourcefulness, and further define and protect my purpose in my actions.”
— A.E.
