Overview
This is a six to eight-month coaching program with Toby is designed to facilitate your own personal mindful self-discovery process. It focuses on:
- Awareness of how your past experience has influenced who and how you are today
- Confidence in approaching your present experience with playful fullness and enthusiasm
- Giving you the inner tools to face your choices and your future in an empowered, dynamic, and authentic manner
All in all, it aims to provide you with a strong, healthy, confident, functional self. A sense of self that has the capability to take charge of your life direction, your quality of life, and your destiny with realistic confidence.
The tools we use in the program are a combination of:
- Mindfulness and meditation techniques
- “Sentence-completion” and other written/journaling techniques
- Other personalised methodologies
The approach is a combination of eastern and western modalities, covering the psychological, philosophical and relational knowledge domains that enable you to build real-time skills and change your experience for the better.
