I am facilitating the first Dragonfly Deeper Discovery workshop at Jamyang Centre in London on October 10th, 10am to 4pm. There will be 3 main parts to this:

1)  Introduction to simple MINDFULNESS techniques that have been proved to improve resilience against the escalating stresses of work (and life) as well as greatly enhance your skills of focus and concentration and generally improve your overall health and well-being. So, if you are wondering what all the fuss is about around mindfulness, or just want some practical tools, then the day is worth it just for this.
2) In conjunction with this, I will be sharing some simple but powerful ENERGY MASTERY techniques, which will make an instant difference in helping you manage your time and keeping balance in your life.
3) Last but not least, you will be one of the very first people to be able to receive an INSIGHTS DEEPER DISCOVERY evaluation and profile. This is a wonderful tool that really helps you explore your key strengths and help identify the areas in your life where you can improve your self-confidence and self-worth, and focus on those activities and relationships that will make you more productive, more effective and above all, happier.

I am now taking bookings for the workshop. The cost is £300 plus vat and includes Deeper Discovery profile and all materials, plus lunch and refreshments. Date is 10th October 2013, 10am until 4pm at Jamyang Centre in Kennington.

very best wishes,
Paul
