welcomes you
Explore The Possibilities of Awareness, Acceptance & Action
This is you encouraging you!
Begin a journey with your true self. Change is a process.
When begun with desire, your awareness and acceptance will become powerful spaces
holding options for change. Take a new look at how you may be discouraging yourself by criticizing, judging and comparing. Are your thoughts, feelings and actions often counterproductive?
Discover and make new choices for charting a more fulfilling course.
I have been on this journey much of my adult life and have discovered tools of
en-courage-ment that add clarity, peace and forward motion.
Now it's time to share them with you! Are you ready?!

Passionate, Certified Encouragement Consultant
and Certified Positive Discipline Trainer
Brenda Garrett, MEd
Bringing together more than 25 years of experience in human services and education, my focus for the past 10 years has been one of discovery and sharing. In my desire to help others find more fulfillment in their work with children and adults, I discovered the Adlerian teachings of both Lynn Lott's "Encouragement Consulting" and Lynn and Dr. Jane Nelsen's "Positive Discipline" curricula and workshops. In the past 7 years, I have shared these principles and tools with more than 7,000 people through interactive workshops - and seen and heard from countless people regarding how life shaping the tools have been for them. Now it is time to explore the possibilities of interactive, online media to reach still others. Begin your journey! Are you ready?
