Lately I have been thinking about the concept of “intentional living”. I always considered myself to be an authentic person, until I reflected back on my choices. I realised how easy it is to make decisions from a place of survival, as opposed to security. The greatest gift, I learned, is having an in-depth understanding of your values.
Simply defined, character is “the moral core of a person”. Your character is developed from your connection to your values, including the decision to practice them. This is especially challenging for adolescents who are still understanding who they are. Teenagers need help connecting to their values. This is why I am starting a character club, to help the youth build a healthy foundation.

Character coaching is an incredible way to explore who you are as a person. It’s also a skill which can help you navigate difficult times and grow as a person. This club will include 12 interactive and educational sessions. Everything you learn will be based on Positive Psychology (the science of well-being).
Character coaching is an incredible way to explore who you are as a person. It’s also a skill which can help you navigate difficult times and grow as a person. The methods taught are based on Positive Psychology (the science of well-being). Positive Psychology studies what makes life fulfilling for each of us. It is a field that believes that we can create a good life for ourselves. Positive Psychology practitioners are here to help people learn and grow into their potential.
