A Three-Hour Live, Interactive Experience
What if three hours could change the way you see yourself, your relationships, and the possibilities available to you?
Much of how we think, feel, react, and behave is influenced by patterns and stories we have learned over a lifetime. Some serve us beautifully. Others quietly limit our choices, relationships, performance, and capacity to live intentionally.
The Mechanics of Self-Authorship is a three-hour, evidence-informed experiential workshop designed to help you better understand how your mind works and how to consciously influence what happens next.
Guided by Patricia Auchnie, RSW, MSW, Clinical Specialist, Certified Brain Coach, and Psychological Health and Safety Consultant, you will explore the science and practice of engineering greater personal and professional agency.
Through engaging teaching, guided reflection, practical exercises, and meaningful conversation, you will be introduced to the Seven Steps to Engineering Agency and the Five Cs of Connection.
Together, we will explore how to:
- Recognize unconscious patterns, assumptions, and protective responses.
- Understand how thoughts, emotions, and nervous system responses influence behaviour.
- Distinguish between the stories you tell yourself and what you actually know.
- Practise curiosity rather than automatic judgment.
- Strengthen emotional awareness, communication, and connection.
- Identify what matters most and make intentional choices aligned with your values.
- Develop practical strategies to author your next chapter with greater clarity and courage.
This is an invitation to experience your own capacity for change.
You will be encouraged to pause, reflect, question, practise, and discover what becomes possible when you move from automatic reactions to intentional action.
You are not simply the character in your story. You have the capacity to become its conscious author.
Come with curiosity and a willingness to examine what you think you know.
Format: Three hours, live and interactive, online
