Stand your Ground
Do you ever find yourself in situations you want (need) to get out of, but you just don't know how? Do you sometimes get stuck, in contact with others? Do you often think: "if only I had…?" Does your body give you signals, but you seem unable to act on them?

Become a powerful individual!
‘Stand your Ground’ empowers young adults who want to become the master of their own life path.
The training aims to support you in your journey to becoming powerful individuals. You will increase your self-confidence by discovering and believing in your strength. Experience how this newfound power translates into your communication and results in a more respectful attitude of others towards you.
About the training
In 4 active meetings we will teach you how to increase:
- Self-Awareness
Increase your body awareness, attitude, emotions and reaction patterns - Self-Confidence
Feel your strength and learn to convert this power into action - Self-Control
Deal with situations that throw you off balance, without losing touch with yourself - Stepping into Action
Learn to act in ‘paralysing’ situations!
‘Stand your Ground is about how not to lose your sense of self in another, to be able to connect and communicate clearly with others, while feeling powerful enough to make your on choices in life.
The training is a mix of theory and practice. We use physical, psychological and social exercises to connect you with your inner strength both emotionally and mentally. We will work on posture, presence and use of your voice. And, although this is not a self-defence course, you will learn some useful techniques to fend off attackers when necessary.

- sometimes feels disempowered?
