4 STEPS TO TRANSFORMING YOUR ENERGY

A four week course offered from September 6-October 3, 2022.

Description:  Who are YOU? What aspects of your life reflect your uniqueness? You are uniquely made up of skills, talents, passions, personality, and motivations.  In this activity-filled workshop, you will learn the basics of identifying your unique purpose while exploring personal awareness and growth, understanding your relationships, and the why behind your actions and behaviors.

Leverage your strengths and skills exponentially.  You can leverage what you are already good at and passionate about to create more value for others with less effort and less time.  It can be easier than you think to find meaningful activities or work and receive value for it.

Highly successful, purposeful people do one thing in common. They know, intimately, who they are, what they are passionate about, what their strengths are, and they know how to leverage their uniqueness into purposeful, meaningful work.

Course Schedule:  4 Optional Live Q/A Sessions with Dr. Ogren via Zoom.  These sessions will also be recorded.

In this 4 week, online course, you will learn to:

  • Make Your Personality Work For You – Identify your instinctive way of working and recognize how you best connect with others.
  • Assess Your Motivations – Identify your personal values through activities that will confirm and test them. You might be surprised how these invisible motivators show up in your daily life!
  • Live in the Intersection of Your Personal Passions, Natural Strengths, & Your Distinct Skills – Realize the sweet spot of activities that align these natural areas of passions and strengths.
  • Avoid Energy Drains – Identify your own sources of energy and strategies to avoid energy drains.
