Choose to be a fluid thinker and embrace an inquisitive, growth-based mindset. This will help to build trust in a world that is seemingly much more sensitive than it used to be! Inquiry, understanding, self-awareness and growth are four key aspects we'll cover to illustrate how great minds think alike... but Inquisitive Minds Win.  Self-awareness is key to leadership. This session provides insights into how leaders can build this into their daily practices, and how they can demonstrate its value in their team interactions. The best part... this not only applies in professional settings, but also in our everyday lives.  *Incorporates original paintings by Gurjit, to add a creative dimension of art therapy.

What does the word "minority" mean to you? Visible, invisible, health condition, physical impairment, questioning status quo, standing up for self or others... our subjective definitions are endless. What it means to you may be very different to what it means to someone else. We all have our own biases and filters that we apply to the world before us, which are shaped by the life that we've lived but haven't yet put behind us. Do you consider yourself to be a minority? Have you considered this to be good, bad or ugly? Our greatest career building assets come from what we may have thought of as our drawbacks or adversities in the past. We owe it to ourselves, and to our peers, to get out of our own way to uncover the potential that lies in our unique selves. Apply this valuable knowledge as an "advantage" to fill gaps in places that you never knew existed. Embrace your individuality! *Incorporates original paintings by Gurjit, to add a creative dimension of art therapy.

Are you feeling isolated/vulnerable/sad with being in your own head? Is your inner voice/demon nagging at you? Have you listened to what it's trying to tell you? If you seek to understand what your demons are trying to teach you, you’ll be able to apply valuable lessons into your life. Learn to listen to what your body and mind is trying to bring to your attention, and turn those horns into halos!   During uncertain times, with mental illness on the continual rise, topics such as these are more critical than ever. You will learn simple strategies to turn negative thoughts into constructive actions. This helps our personal and professional relationships, and most importantly... our relationship with our own mind.   *Incorporates original paintings by Gurjit, to add a creative dimension of art therapy.
