| Apr 4 neXt - Unlearning Old Programs & Setting Strategic Goals |
| Most of what you do and achieve is based on the way you think about yourself and the world around you. Without awareness of these old mindsets, you will be capped in your personal and professional life without many breakthroughs. Jerrid Sebesta is going to help you "unlearn" many of these faulty programs as well as give you the roadmap for capitalizing on the rest of 2024. |

| Apr 18 neXt - True Colors |
| True Colors has been created as a vocabulary through which people can communicate the expression of their character. True Colors is an easy, entertaining way to identify your character spectrum to better understand yourself and others. It is an invaluable tool for enjoying successes in your personal and professional life. True Colors uses four colors to identify distinct perspectives and personalities. Most of us have a dominant or bright color and are influenced or shaded by the other three colors, thus creating our True Colors Spectrum. True Colors establishes a common language by which we communicate core motivations, needs and behaviors. Discovering your True Colors Spectrum is fun and exciting! Once you recognize the True Colors in yourself and others, you will be able to respond more appropriately and concisely in your varied communication settings. |
