CIJ Clarity Catalyst Course: Catapult Your Life

The CIJ Clarity Catalyst is an awe-inspiring course focusing on mindfulness and emotional intelligence. Based upon methodology first taught at Stanford University’s famed Creativity in Business Course, the 8-week program is designed to take you on a profound journey into unearthing your creativity, decreasing your stress, and developing a happy life-work balance. Using practical tools and techniques proven in business and in life for 35+ years, your Catalyst trainer will empower you to authentically live your best life and tap into new found creativity, balance, and peace.

THE COURSE

The Clarity Catalyst is a process for tapping into one's full creative potential to create breakthrough results on a personal or professional challenge or goal. This mindfulness and emotional intelligence program was developed by Dr. Michael Ray in 1979 and based on proven methods from his Creativity in Business work at Stanford and in corporations.

This program is designed to get you from where you are to where you want to be. The program will cover one topic per week for a period of 8 weeks. You will learn and apply the 8 lessons of the Stanford course by working with Clarify Catalyst trainer Laurie Stone, who will guide you in a process of developing a daily mindfulness practice to decrease stress both at home and in the workplace, use the practical tool box to unearth new creativity and passion at work, become a more confident and effective communicator, and apply the powerful practices to create a happier more fulfilled life.

Most of the learning in this program does not require dedicated time, but rather attention and practice to integrate new ideas into day- to-day activities. This is not something separate from your personal and professional day to day, but rather a much more powerful way to go about your day to day.

PROGRAM STRUCTURE AND THEMES

The first 4 weeks are spent on building a foundation in essential tools for creativity:

• Week 1: Faith in Your Own Creativity: Cultivating The Creative Process

• Week 2: Absence of Judgment: Cultivating Compassion

• Week 7: Conscious Communication: Cultivating Responding VS Reacting

In addition to the specific weekly topics, the program is organized around 2 themes:

Finally, the program culminates with a powerful last class that has everyone tap into their greatest creative resources.
