Motivation and personal development with outdoor activities - Tenerife

Personal development is an ongoing process of self-improvement across all fields of life: work, school, or home. This course is targeted at personal development and self-motivation both in professional and personal life.

At the course, we will explore the nature of motivation, as well as self-motivation techniques e.g. goal-setting, time management, mindfulness, combining those with positive thinking, the creation of powerful visions of success, and the building of high levels of self-efficacy and self-confidence.

As a result, you will better know yourself, your needs and values, strengths and weaknesses, develop emotional intelligence, improve soft and communication skills, and increase productivity.

The acquired tools and techniques can be further implemented at work with children or colleagues to create healthy routines and build trustful relationships.

This course combines the classroom theory in the morning and practical modules in beautiful outdoor places in the afternoon.
