Our sister method, the W.A.Y (What About You) Model is a research-based intervention designed to retrain the mind using the principles of Positive Psychology and the science of Neuroplasticity. The result is a powerful combination of tools that uses a systematic and practical approach to build self-awareness, mindfulness, and clarity in the face of challenges and limitations in what we call the 4 P’s : Professional Life, Personal Life, Partnering Life, and Parenting Life.
