After a very long journey, with numerous stops and starts, I’m finally ready to start delivering workshops on the topic of mental fitness.

At this stage, I am planning online workshops of around 90 minutes in length delivered via Collaborate from Oasis Online.

I am taking expressions of interest at this stage.

To indicate your interest in attending one of these workshops, just email me: gareth.furber@flinders.edu.au

To give you a sense of the material that will be covered, you can check out the workshop slides here.

What we’ll cover is:

• What is mental fitness?
• Why you should build it?
• How do you build it?
• Where to get started
• Traps to look out for

Anyone with an interest in self-development and self-improvement should find some of the concepts and ideas in the workshop interesting.

I’ll provide a model (R.I.P.P.E.D.) to help you work out how to develop mental fitness workouts for yourself.

I’ll use the workshops to further develop the program and if interest is high, I hope to dovetail this mental fitness stuff with some other projects developing a high performance stream for students wanting to enhance their overall wellbeing and academic performance.

Anyway, for the time being, if you are interested in participating in a mental fitness workshop, just email me to register your interest: gareth.furber@flinders.edu.au

Looking forward to it 🙂

PS – I am seeing whether or not I can get Horizon points for participating and also whether we might be able to do some out-of-hours workshops for those with full days.
