Workshop Description
Cardiogram of Life
The Life Cardiogram consists of the events of a person's life: achievements and victories – failures and crises. The Life Cardiogram is similar to the medical cardiogram with rises and falls, with ups and downs.
Participants will have the opportunity to take part in a masterclass to create their own Life Cardiogram and have a chance to see their own lives from a different vantage point and perspective. This method helps to improve a person`s attitude to life in general and to misfortunes. The benefit is understanding how to use crises and failures to improve your life quality and career development.
