ACHIEVE A BALANCED LIFE
with Dave Finnigan

Participants sit still, move, applaud, laugh, and cry tears of joy, all in balance!

• Be recognized for creating positive dreams of the future.
• Have the opportunity to affirm a positive and balanced future.
• Celebrate feelings of joy, warmth and capability.

Methodology

• This is an interactive sharing session.
• We open up the "Human Relations Toolbox."
• First we stretch, breath deeply and make contact with others.
• One-on-one we reveal someone who changed our life for the better.
• We tell a stranger about our accomplishments and our shortcomings or fears.
• With another new friend we share positive experiences from childhood.
• In a group of four we visualize a balanced life and get credit for that dream.
• We create affirmations for a future in balance and vocalize them emphatically.
• We close face to face with a mill to celebrate our humanity.

Why it works

• In our work we give, give, give, but here we get to fill up again, to gain balance.
• We give participants permission to reveal their vulnerability.
• We use carefully guided and non-threatening interaction in small groups.
• Participants who take risks are rewarded for their openness.
• People use their left brain at work and love to open up the right brain.
• Appropriate music, simple breathing, and safe space creates an open environment.
• When we learn to actively listen we learn to reveal our own deepest truths.

Take Home Value

We learn to enter a room as strangers and leave as warm friends!
