The Person-Centred Module (2 sessions)

• This module focuses of resolving our internal conflicts that may prevent us from feeling free during our speeches.

• The participants will be invited to explore the areas of their
  strengths and talents around which they can build their art of rhetoric.

• All the students will be also invited to identify some of the
  destructive forces that may keep us from feeling at ease when speaking.

• Creating a dialogue between our life-endorsing and destructive powers.

This module draws some inspiration from the Paul’s Rebillot’s work
entitled ‘The Heroes Journey”. Whilst searching for our Strengths and
Virtues we will use the help of Martin Seligman, the father of Positive
Psychology and his manual of Character Strengths.
