Life Journey Program

The Life Journey Program is a personal awareness mentoring program that has been developed and refined over many years. It is a journey of reflection and self-discovery with clear and achievable outcomes. The Life Journey Program is a ‘needs based’ program and has a flexible process. It helps people discover more of who they are and what they really want.

WHAT IS IT?

The Life Journey Program is an opportunity for people to reflect on their journey of life, gain greater self-awareness, identify personal styles and behaviours, obtain feedback and set clear goals for the future.
It helps people empower themselves by gaining a better understanding of how their beliefs, values, thinking, feelings and behaviour impacts themselves and others.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The program outline has been developed as a guide and aims to meet specific outcomes. However, the process is collaborative and flexible allowing adjustments to the structure and timeline to suit the individual needs of participants.

SESSIONS

Consisting of three phases (10 sessions), people work through the process of reflecting on the past, examining self and setting and sorting goals.

Learning and discoveries are documented, building a picture of self, relationships and goals. Strategies, tools and resources for planning and change are discussed and used as appropriate.

BETWEEN SESSIONS

To assist in reflection, information gathering and feedback, people are required to complete activities between each session. Session dates, times and tasks are negotiated on an on-going basis and adjusted to suit needs.

REFLECTION

Reflective practice is assisted by the use of a journal, session ‘Learning Logs’ and other appropriate tools.
Critical Reflection is used
and embedded within
the process.

WHAT IS ACHIEVED? (Outcomes)

The Life Journey Program creates a snapshot of the past and its effects on present thinking, feelings and behaviours. It offers opportunity for greater self-awareness and feedback and a clear process for setting goals to get what you really want. It is a safe process for building awareness, resilience and self-empowerment.
