"What if it were possible to help ourselves thrive, rather than simply survive?"
Suzy Reading

Your tutor is a certified life coach and will provide advice, guidance and support to enable you to develop a birds-eye-view of your life, build confidence, resilience and self-belief.

How will I learn?

This is an online course which includes some interactive delivery from your tutor (up to 1.5 hours per week) along with resources and exercises for you to utilise outside of the session. You will also be required to do some work in between sessions.

To enhance your learning, we will be asking you to record your progress and achievement with comments on what you had learned during the course, what was challenging, what suddenly fell into place etc. This will be via an interactive document emailed between you and your tutor, to record comments.

What materials will I need?

We will be using ‘The Self-care Revolution’ book by Suzy Reading throughout the course so you will need to buy your own copy - available from The Works, Amazon and local bookstores - please contact us for further details. Don't worry if you haven't managed to get it for the first week, we don't really need to have it to hand until the third week, although you might like to get it earlier.

What previous knowledge or experience do I need?

None – just bring an open mind!

Attendance

In order to get the most out of your course you will need to attend every week. If you know you are going to miss several sessions e.g. because of holiday, please talk to a member of staff before enrolling.

Do you have an additional support need?

There are many ways in which you can receive help with your learning. If you feel you may need additional assistance, please contact us before enrolling to discuss your requirements.

We can also offer Maths, English and ICT courses to refresh your skills and complement your learning. Please ask your tutor for more information or email acl@warwickshire.gov.uk
