Un programa de inglés único para empresas que utiliza materiales de desarrollo personal como temas de debate para la parte de conversación de cada clase, no sólo para ayudar a los empleados a encontrar su propósito y alinearlo con el propósito de la empresa, sino también para profundizar en su capacidad de utilizar el inglés de una forma más profunda y con más tacto. Topics for discussion to develop personal skills include the following: Self-awareness Virtue leading to Self-confidence leading to value as a person How to lead by example Methods to change yourself one step at a time How to deal with difficult situations What are virtues and how to improve them. Values, and goal setting Growing in Self-esteem What is my meaning? What is my purpose? Let's talk about the Stoics. Some of these topics are discussed in class and others are discussed in an optional extra class (for intermediate and advanced students) where we study podcasts, books, and articles on a weekly basis to widen our knowledge of Personal Growth and how to be our best selves. The opportunity that presents itself to the students and the company is the possibility to grow together creating a working environment of mature people aiming for greatness both individually and collectively.
