Family Shed - Silence the Critic Within
WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?
This first event is about silencing the critic within. Even the strongest of us has that still, small voice that likes to poke holes in our plans. This is about learning that voice is us, and how to change it from eviscerating to encouraging.
Family Shed is a place to wash away isolation and connect with liked-minded people intent on learning things, tackling projects shoulder to shoulder, and sharing what you know.
HOW TO JOIN?
We host many events with larger numbers, but this event is limited to 20 people. This gives us a friendly atmosphere where everyone can ask questions, venture ideas, and maybe try some changes.
JOIN IF YOU
· Want a helping hand getting from where you are to where you want to be.
· Are willing to take 100% responsibility for yourself and your choices.
· Understand the only person you can control is yourself.
· Appreciate respect and courtesy while rejecting the insanity of both liberal and conservative extremism.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
This event is open to all ages. Bring your teenager or your grandparent, or let them bring you. Everyone is welcome.
You’re welcome to show up as much as 30 minutes early. That’s strange in Toronto, I know. The start time is 6:30 pm and that’s when we officially start. Arrive early, enjoy some refreshments, and chat a bit before we begin.
We start with a short (mostly gruff) intro talk followed by a couple group games to get relaxed and friendly. Then we start the presentation. Now, I know that word – presentation – makes it sound like an Amway meeting or something. You can relax. No one is going to sell you anything. It’s just that we start with some learning then we get into talking and sharing. So, presentation then Q&A, yes?
The presentation is by Rev. Conrad Hall. He is an international bestselling author, a Canfield Trainer, veteran, carpenter and welder, reverend (obviously), and was at The Second City for five years. He can get you laughing while he talks, and share some useful insights, too.
Silence the Critic Within is material originally developed by Dr. Maxwell Maltz; more than 65 years ago. It’s tried and tested, proven to work. Join us as Rev. Conrad walks through how to recognise the critic within, how to silence it, and how to turn the critic within into your internal success coach.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
· Simple refreshments to relax while you chat
· An hour of discovery and personal development
· A second hour of conversation and exploration
· Access to the post-event WhatsApp group
· Supporting our mission to help veterans successfully handle transition to civilian life
WHERE IS IT?
For now, we’re hosting events steps away from the St. George St. entrance to St. George Subway Station. The precise location is provided once your spot is confirmed.
That said, we’re open to other locations. It just needs to be a place where we have a room to ourselves and it is easily accessible by TTC or GO.
QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE
Can I be late?
You are in control of your schedule. You decide whether you respect yourself, and others, enough to be on time.
Should I bring my children to this?
Only if you’re interested in having them grow into mature, responsible adults. Children under 12 are welcome free of charge. Young adults (12-29) are welcome with a ticket, and we encourage them to find a way of earning that ticket.
Something to keep in mind: If we have several children under 12, then Rev. Conrad will teach to those children. Every astute adult will hear the lesson and be able to apply it.
Can I bring my pet?
A service dog is always welcome. Pets, no. Let everyone there be your support people.
Can I get a refund if I’m unable to attend?
There are no refunds, or ticket transfers to another date, if you withdraw with less than two (2) days notice. Something comes up and you withdraw three (3) or more days in advance, we’re happy to refund your purchase or transfer your ticket to another date.
Come join the family.
