Our Newest Courses

Purpose & Empowerment Course for Women

We are most alive when we have agency, when we feel that we have choices and when we are connected to the energy of others. 

In this course we will focus on developing concrete skills to find purpose, re-build self-esteem, cultivate self-worth and connect with our own, unique power. 

We will address:

  • Virginia Satir’s authentic communication method
  • How to improve communication and reduce conflict
  • How to create satisfying connections
  • How to feel there are choices and possibilities
  • How to take action to make change possible
  • How to be truly oneself

Self-esteem and self-worth lead to empowerment.

 

Improving Communication & Reducing Conflict at Work

This course is aimed at professionals, who are taking on new and important responsibilities at work.  Using Virginia Satir’s process model of growth we will develop and apply tools so that you will be able to step forward, establish perspective,  be open to new possibilities, and shift your point of view, deepen your understanding and hear yourself and others.

This will help you to:

  • Improve communication
  • Better manage teams
  • Deal with stress and frustration
  • Reduce conflict and tension 
  • Juggle multiple responsibilities (professional and personal)
  • Feel in harmony with your new role and responsibilities
  • Be authentic 

Find balance between the different goals in different areas of your life.

Stories of Change and Growth

Reference Creating Connections Virginia Satir Institute

Ahora estoy terminando el primer nivel de la formación de Coaching and Mentoring Specialist. La formación es muy bonita, una pasada, muy práctica y experiencial… Si uno tiene la posibilidad, creo que le encantará hacerla. Con el Covid, la situación se volvió muy complicada. La clínica está cerrada desde el día 13 de marzo, estamos pensando empezar de nuevo, y no sé en qué condiciones. Nunca he estado más de 3 semanas de vacaciones al año, y mira ahora, más de dos meses se van a ir sin trabajar. Ahí voy, hablando con los bancos para ver sin hacen un stand by en los cobros de las hipotecas, para no arruinarnos… Durante ese tiempo, la formación me ayudó mucho a seguir adelante, ajustarme a la situación, mantener una comunicación positiva con mi pareja en la situación de confinamiento, miedos, y aislamiento.

Echaré de menos nuestras conversaciones sobre la vida, y cómo puedo yo encontrar mi propio camino. ¡Me recuerdo de la frase de Maya Angelou en tus correos electrónicos! ¡Hasta otro día!

I felt listened to and enabled to see parts of me that I wasn’t aware of. I could connect more fully to what I need and felt safe enough to speak them up with my family and at work.

It is my job to work with people and help them to growth, make their own choices, and be assertive. Working with Agnes allowed me to deepen my understanding of relationships, interactions, and process of change. Since then, my clients told me that they felt more connected and more flexible to respond to challenges and discomfort. And I found myself much at ease in my relationships with my partner!

Las sesiones que realice con Agnes constituyeron una experiencia increible. A mi modo de ver, su background en distintos metodos psico corporales la dota de un gran repertorio de recursos con el cual logra ayudar de una modo preciso a sus clientes.
