Self Development 101
ONLINE COURSE AND GROUP COACHING
Rob McNamara & Gabriel Wilson
Wednesdays, January 17 - March 27, 2024
Self Development 101 is for people who want to make the choice to grow. In online classes, you will engage with frameworks, theory, and practices to clarify your developmental journey. In group coaching sessions, an experienced Real LIFE Coach provides a supportive environment to engage your intention, explore developmental opportunities, and clarify unique choices to advance the challenges and aspirations defining your life.
Our time is marked by unprecedented transitions and global pressures that disrupt how we live, work, and love. These vast and complex forces can disorient and overwhelm our familiar ways of being and doing.
Given this disorientation, there is a choice: to cling to our habitual way of doing things or embrace new possibilities of doing and of being.
Self Development 101 is for people who desire meaningful growth. Over the course of 10 sessions, you will engage in two kinds of learning: 1) Content and theory and 2) Personal coaching in a small group setting.
TEACHING SESSIONS
Course instructors introduce frameworks, theory, and practices designed to foster different kinds of growth processes. Throughout the course participants are empowered to create, experiment and adopt new kinds of maturities.
GROUP COACHING SESSIONS
(5 - 6 participants) Your Real LIFE Coach provides you with a supportive environment where you can enact your intentions, advance developmental opportunities into meaningful embodied action, and leverage real-time challenges to sharpen your effectiveness in the world.
Teaching Sessions and Group Coaching Sessions alternate every other week and are 90 minutes in duration.
This program is also a pathway course to the Real LIFE Facilitator Program, which is for coaches, facilitators, and organizational leaders.
