The CHALLENGE Experience workshops aren't your traditional "courses" or "programs". They're individual, one on one, workshops complete with assignments (exploration), discussions (introspection), and assessments (application) as well as 1:1 reviews with the instructor that are designed to increase your critical thinking specifically as it relates to your decision making skills. There's an emphasis on perspective and mindset since those are the main drivers in the decision making process. The classes becomes more like one on one journeys to improve your current situation and lay the groundwork for your future.

You see, we want to challenge the interaction you have with the different aspects of your life. We want you to step back from how you usually think, speak, and act in an effort to determine if this is truly the most productive and efficient way to get where you want to be. Is it leading you to achieve success, accomplish goals, and finding fulfillment?

We'll concentrate on how you engage with yourself, others, and the world at large. Therefore, your perspective and mindset will be questioned for two very important reasons:

  • Your perspective filters your views of the world, as well as yourself. It is how you choose to see yourself, how you see others, and how others see you. Therefore, we have a responsibility to try and understand multiple points of view in order to enhance our decision making skills.
  • Your mindset determines your interactions with the world, including the thoughts you create, the words you choose, and the actions you take. It defines how we interpret our surroundings. In fact, the outcome of situations can be influenced or even anticipated before they even happen, based on your mindset. It is why it is such critical element of solid decision making skills.

There are the eight CHALLENGE thought processes. We'll work together to help you achieve a solid understanding of each one. You'll feel more confident and fulfilled moving forward into your bright, new future. LET'S GET STARTED!
