Personal development and storytelling initiative

Project Description

Surrey SHARES launches another cohort! This eight-week storytelling and personal development program brings seniors 55+ living in Surrey through the art of storytelling while simultaneously working alongside a Life Coach to work through any issues their story might uncover and to discover what they want out of their next chapter in life.

What our Seniors are Saying

– Jill

“I applied for Surrey Shares for the free life coaching. I was blown away by the fact both segments empowered me, showed me my value, supported me as I released unfounded thought patterns and resulted in me launching a new, positive perspective. All this during Covid, if you can believe it. I didn’t think I had a story to tell, and found out I have many and, more importantly, made me feel more stories are ahead of me. Take the program and find out how valuable you truly are.”

– Bob

“It was an incredible opportunity delve into untested waters. The coaching got me started on a life dump and refocus on what I do. I referred to my notes often over the past 8 weeks while battling with COVID. As soon as I was able I followed through with my intentions — my wife was speechless to say the least. I had a ton of fun working on my story. But discovered that I have a lot to learn about actually telling the story. So room to grow there for which I am grateful.”

– Pat

“I was so tired about hearing of COVID. I thought, you know that would probably take my mind off this COVID thing. I kind of liked that idea. When you get to be my age, it difficult to find interesting, new things to do. This is something I can do on my own, at home and will bring me satisfaction.”
