A Monthly Series at the JCC in Scotch Plains to be held the first Wednesday of
every month
“What’s Your Story?” Workshop with Executive NeuroCoach, Karla Robertson
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
· 7:00 – 9:00 PM
· Central New Jersey JCC (1391
Martine Ave., Scotch Plains)
Karla Robertson is a brain-based executive coach who believes that with better
thinking you can make better decisions and get better results.
Karla will focus on the stories we tell ourselves which influence how we
process information that is all around us. Our stories influence
how we see, understand, make choices and act in the world. Becoming aware
of what stories are active in your life can help you assess whether it’s
working for you or not and how you can reprogram your mind to pay attention to
other stories that are more productive.
Using humor, insight, and stories that hit home Karla will provoke you to new
thoughts and challenges that will lead to positive changes in the way you
think. Whether you are a current job seeker or someone thinking about a
life change, Karla will be a motivating force.
Please help your friends, members and clients find the help they need in
their job search. In addition JFS can provide individual, couple and family
counseling and financial resources to help people through this difficult
period.
For more information or to sign up for our programs, have those interested
contact Carol Einhorn or Sheri Brown at 908-352-8375 or email Carol at ceinhorn@jfscentralnj.com or
Sheri Brown at sherib@jfscentralnj.com.
