We go to the gym, eat healthy foods and hire expensive personal trainers all to improve our outer strength. Deep down we all know that inner strength is a million times more important than outer strength but what are we doing to improve our inner strength? In this workshop you will learn how. If we develop more inner strength, we can:

• Allow our bodies to operate at maximum efficiency
• Have the courage to heal from our past
• Deal with any situation that we are presented with, no matter how bad other people perceive it to be
• Stop people pleasing and get aligned with our true purpose
• Heal from apparent diseases
• Maximize our potential
• Overcome stress and anxiety

This workshop is about helping people move up the scale of consciousness, so they can develop more resilience and inner strength. It is never about what is going on “out there” and it is always about what is going on “in here” (within you). At this workshop students will create awareness around what is going within and how they can overcome it. Presented by David Haas, Certified Coach. Open to St. Clair College Students & Alumni only please. Lunch generously sponsored by the St. Clair College Student Representative Council (SRC).

Why is it only a few a handful of people in this world learn how to execute at an extremely high level?
