Join us for our October program, James Garrett's "Funcomfortable: The Uncomfortably Fun Truth About Growth." This presentation has been four years in the making and is drawn from hundreds of hours of research, personal experimentation, and coaching clients to build these skills. It is an interactive presentation and will solicit audience participation throughout. Through the use of stories, experiments, displays, discussion, and workshopping, the participants will walk away with a deep and richly rewarding experience – and with concrete ways to apply the tools with their clients.
Eligible for 1.0 CCE Resource Development and .50 CCE Core Competency units.
Learning Objectives:
1* Demonstrate how to facilitate “getting-out-of-your-comfort-zone-exercises" with clients, which will help their clients build the necessary cognitive and emotional resources in order to do the difficult work of personal development.
2* Differentiate between whether a client needs help moving out of their comfort zone (needs more challenge) or whether they need help moving out of the panic zone (needs less challenge).
3* Define for clients how their brain naturally resists discomfort, but that with skillful application, the client can make the discomfort of growth more rewarding by adding fun, play, and enjoyment.
