Confidence Building Workshops
12 week lifestyle program
Within a period of twelve weeks, Listening Ears intends to provide you with comprehensive information and enlightenment on how you can Eat, Cook and Live healthily. We will also support you to identify the Barriers that have prevented you for so long to eat and live healthily as a way of life. Holding your hands, we will support you to set achievable goals and take small steps at a time to achieve those goals. We will cap every week with The Zumba Dance sessions, which is a very practical, yet exciting way to work out and burn off all the unhealthy fat in your system.
Confidence Building Workshops
Over the next four weeks, (one day a week) 12noon - 4pm every Wednesday, you have an opportunity to come around and benefit from the life-transforming workshop we are having on Confidence Building & Personal Development. This gives you the opportunity to Discover the "Real You" and receive all the empowerment you need to fulfil your life ambition.
