“The Landmark Forum is not a lecture, motivational technique, or therapy- it’s a powerful, accelerated learning experience.”
This workshop setting takes place over 3 consecutive days and an evening session. It’s about “experiencing a positive, permanent shift in the quality of your life, redefining the very nature of what’s possible, and creating a future of your own design.”
So we were attending the guest session which was only for 3 hours. The minute you enter the room where this workshop is held you get this positive feeling from everyone around you. There was a sense of great happiness. Each and every single person was in that room for their own personal reasons, with their own stories, and goal they wanted to accomplish.
With a variety of topics which were discussed including confidence and enjoying your life and just hearing many stories from people who have been a part of this program was inspiring, (you see how it has changed their lives and it makes you think about how you can change your own life.)
For me my focus for the day was improving my career. Others were there working to improve their own personal relationships, communication, confidence, as well as other areas in life which were important to them or they felt they may be facing an obstacle in.
When you break down what you’re feeling, experiencing on a daily basis, how you’re treated, where you want to be, what you want to do, and what challenges you’re facing, you really start to question what is going on in your life. Wanting so much more in your life, improving the quality of your relationships, having the confidence to make a change, keeping motivated, and using the resources around you become important factors.
At times I felt like I was put on the spot with the variety of icebreakers which we were doing but I realized that this was exactly what I needed. I need to force myself to make the time to think about what I really want out of life, what makes me happy, and where I want to be. Having someone there sitting beside you supporting you, sharing their advice, and encouraging you to move in the direction you want to be headed in, was an experience which I will always appreciate.
On the day of the workshop my fiancé and I did not register (as there are fees involved) but we did received a few follow up calls over the next week or so and the people who would call us were so passionate about wanting to help you help yourself and were really there to listen to your story, get to know you, offer their advice, and share their experience with you. At the end of my call the woman said to me, “You have really inspired me.” I was shocked by her statement as I felt I had just unloaded my frustrating experiences which were going on in my life lately, but she felt that I knew where I wanted to be, what I wanted to do, and inspired her to want to start her own company and live a life of happiness. After this call I made a career change. See what Landmark can do for you…
