Motivation and Personal Development with outdoor activities

Personal development is an ongoing process of self-improvement across all fields of live: 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 need and values, strengths and weaknesses, develop emotional intelligence, improve soft and communication skills, and increase productivity.
