Overcoming fundamental issues

Our students have high ambitions, fierce competition, and demanding environments. Learning how to address the variety of psychological issues they may encounter – managing stress, changing habits and mindset, making tough decisions, developing leadership skills, emotional control, understanding values and motivational roots, and balancing life and work – is critical to their professional success.

“I really appreciated how Aleš was able to quickly identify and breakdown barriers I place in front of myself. Our conversation was very authentic and practical.” - Colten Miller

Actions are measures of your value

Aleš ran the students through a hands-on workshop that helped them identify how their environment, thoughts, behaviors, and outcomes can affect behavioral change. 鶹Ժ were each given a framework to address a behavior they’d like to change in their life and Aleš walked them through each step.

"Aleš’ insight, perspective, and assistance helped me recognize and acknowledge the mental pitfalls I face and how to easily overcome these obstacles to obtain efficient rewards." - Chrysanthia Cheung-Lau

We’re grateful Aleš was so generous with his time and expertise and hope our students are now better-equipped to make changes to their habits, behaviors and beliefs. to learn more about Aleš.
