Hi everyone, I hope you are doing well. It has been a year since I started creating forum workshop series aimed at providing individuals with practical ways to overcome or succeed in certain areas of life. Each series averaged 8 posts all of which came with prompts to practice the knowledge being presented. 

The series also comes with a limited time to encourage individuals to complete participation in the entire series and apply the knowledge as they learn it. Currently, we have 4 complete series. Think of these as master resource lists for each topic. If you want to improve in one of these areas, this is a great place to start. 

All blue text (headings) are hyperlinked.

  • Catastrophizing 
  • Mind Reading

Building Self-esteem!

  • Self-esteem and all that it impacts!
  • The FAST way
  • Value clarification
  • Fear of Failure
  • The Role of Accountability

I’m excited to announce that all four workshop series are now open for participation! Upon completing any series, or all four, you will receive a certificate. To earn your certificate, please ensure you complete all the prompts included in the posts and submit the forms associated with the series. Please note there will be no new series this quarter to allow time to complete these. 

You have until Jan 12, 2025 (Deadline extended on Dec 6, 2024), to participate and earn your certificate. After this date, the posts will remain available, but participation will no longer qualify for certification. I encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to enhance your knowledge and skills. Let’s embark on this journey together! If you had wished to work on personal development this year and did not get the chance, now is the time to take advantage of this opportunity!

Hello! Just wanted to let you know I never received a confirmation email that I completed the Self esteem series. Not sure if we were supposed to get one but I didn't get a certificate of completion either. Just an fyi. However I am so grateful for the opportunity, It was really great.

Hello! I'm interested in completing these for the certifications, however I would like more clarification as to the use of AI policies I remember reading somewhere on this site but can't find it now. I would say 95% of the time, my work comes up as AI in scanners due to my wording and how I tend to write. I use AI but not as a substitute for my work. With my university, I just have to provide evidence of that it's my work with Google Docs version history and I'm good to go. Would this become an issue here?

It is not done often. But If we suspect AI use, we can do random checks. So if that is an issue, I recommend keeping a google doc where you note down all the workshop series task/activity responses. It will be useful for you to refer back to for your own revision too.
