Customized sessions for OPSEU members at York Regional District School Board, designed to help participants focus on what they really hope for in their work and personal lives.

Working from the premise that when people notice and draw from their existing strengths and resources, motivation and clarity of direction will be forthcoming.

Group activities, guided coaching questions and smaller breakout-rooms experience will give participants an opportunity to both reflect and participate.
