TRAINING OVERVIEW

Choice Theory is the foundation for all that we teach. Dr. Glasser has taught us that we choose almost all what we do. We behave to match one or more of our pictures of the way we want things to be in our lives to satisfy one or more of our basic needs for survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun.

Glasser Canada offers training in Choice Theory/Reality Therapy/Lead-Management to integrate the concepts personally in your own lives and professionally for those of you who work with others. Whether you wish to see yourself differently or want to learn how to help others lead happier and more-fulfilling lives, this training is for you!

Participants concentrate on more intensive practice with role-play and learn more about how to provide feedback to other participants in a supportive learning environment. Each participant develops and practises a self-designed 15-minute presentation which teaches some aspect of Dr. Glasser’s concepts. This presentation will be made to a small Certification group and is one of the requirements at Certification.

”CERTIFICATION
