This online workshop is one of the first of our the new, exciting range of digital masterclasses that we are offering.

Whether the lockdown has prompted you to reevaluate what’s important, or you’re thinking about getting back to work and into a career that truly brings fulfillment, how can you embrace a leading role in your own life, and stay focused on achieving your potential if the biggest life changes hit you all at once?

No matter where you are, this insightful, interactive class will help you develop self-leadership skills that will benefit every aspect of your life by helping you switch off automatic, and live more authentically, fully and meaningfully. To do this well requires deep connection with yourself, which is challenging in an uncertain, changing, and ambiguous world.

This practical virtual masterclass with leading life and leadership coach Fiona Buckland is suitable for anyone with a desire to connect with their own inner resources. You will learn practical techniques for improving your self-awareness, self-mastery, and effectiveness, and for boosting your autonomy.

Ultimately, you will come away with a newfound confidence in your abilities to align your life in the direction you want it to go, and you will learn practical techniques for improving your self-awareness, self-mastery, resilience, and effectiveness, and for boosting your autonomy.

You will be sent a link to the webinar 1hr before the start time of 6.30pm (BST).
