No! Anything but vacant .
We have been plugging away at Awaken slowly but surely. We have been refining the Awaken Experience to create a workshop orientated approach which we believe offers attendees a better introduction to our material. Unfortunately, this means we haven’t updated our website in a while. Sorry 
At the moment out avaliability limits us to on-demand sessions only. We will look to do some more open groups sessions some time in the future.
If you are interested in talking with us about how an Awaken workshop might help you or your team, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us at awakenewzealand@gmail.com. We would love to hear from you and see how we can help.
The Awaken Team
Awaken New Zealand and Mosaic have partnered to bring you a ‘hands on’ one day seminar on Emotional Wellbeing with David Riddell on 7 March 2009. David is a much sort after counsellor, a published author, and an expert in emotional wellbeing.
Come and join us for a check up, from the neck up.
Welcome to our new website. Our hope is the website improvements make it easier to find what you find what you’re looking for. we look forward to you joining us in our next Awaken Experience.
Oh, please note our website address has changed. Our new address is http://awakennewzealand.wordpress.com/
The experience we have created is not designed to be an exercise that taps into the self-help market. Rather it is our sincere attempt at helping others become awake to the possibilities of what life could have in store for them if they started to live out of their God-given strengths and talents.
By experiencing what we have to offer through Awaken NZ, participants will:
- Discover their talents and how the combination of Knowledge, Skill and Talent develops potent Strengths;
- Grow their Relational and Emotional Intelligence helping them to become a better team member, spouse, or friend;
- Gain greater awareness of how we perceive ourselves and the world around us; and,
- Learn how developing character attributes will help them not only have better relationships but will also help them become the person they were meant to be.
Rather than relying on one assessment, we use several leading tools to create a holistic approach to developing greater understanding of ourselves and others. Our application of these tools also gives participants practical skills to be able to apply our insights to their real-life contexts, whether it be work or play.
Through the Awaken Experience, participants can expect to discover their great areas of talent and how to transform those talents into strengths; insight into their personality type and how to embrace their own and that of others; and finally, insight into how developing their character can enable them to be the person they were meant to be.
Some of the tools we use (see out Quick Links list for more info):
Myers Brigg’s Type Indicator
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) serves as an excellent introduction into the concept of personalities. It provides Awaken participants with language in which to frame discussions on how they perceive personalities and how they would describe their own personality.
Character Matrix
Character fuels a life of conviction, passion, and focus. The Character Matrix will engage your value system and press against the core of what it means to be human. Stepping into this matrix will challenge who you are and how you understand influence.
Johari Window
The Johari Window is a tool used to map our own personality visibility. The Window will be used in the Awaken experience as a tool to assist participants to understand their perceived personality (introspective) and the perceptions of the participants peers.
