Be More You Event, 12th March 2025
A great lunch in good company and some insights to get you thinking and realising more of your amazing potential.
Participation, conversation and involvement in this thought-provoking workshop.
The session has been created to meet the needs expressed by the group in an impromptu session last year including: Asking for Help without feeling embarrassed, Building Trust, How to get rid of Imposter Syndrome, & Internal self-doubt. Boosting Confidence. Failure. maintaining motivation consistency & positive habit forming.
There are some big topics there! James will build on the central themes to create a workshop that everyone can take positive action from.
We’ll be asking: To be the best version of myself, what do I need to do to get out of my own way?
Bring an open mind and those internal challenges you are grappling with.
This session will benefit leaders, managers and solopreneurs.
Objective:
- Identify at least one meaningful thing you can do to release your latent potential – for business/for life.
“If you don’t get at least one meaningful takeaway from the session, book up a free chat with me and we can explore value for you”

How We Self-Sabotage
“Saboteurs are the voices in your head that generate negative emotions as you handle life’s everyday challenges. They represent the automatic patterns in your mind for how to think, feel, and respond. Your Saboteurs cause all of your stress, anxiety, self-doubt, frustration, restlessness, and unhappiness. They sabotage your performance, well-being, and relationships.” Positive Intelligence
On Shirzard’s website you’ll find a free Saboteur Assessment – a great first step to conquering your Saboteurs — identifying them to expose their lies and limiting beliefs. At Alt P we’ve trained with Shirzad and would be happy to discuss your results, help you create a meaningful plan for positive change.
