SUMMARY:Pillars of Progress Virtual Course
DESCRIPTION:Course Description\nAs riders\, we make upwards of 35\,000 decisions each day. Many of those decisions\, about our riding and our horses\, are made automatically\, without conscious consideration. In Dr. Paul’s 25+ years of helping riders overcome their personal challenges in their riding\, he has identified 5 essential areas of consideration that contribute to every problem and are ultimately THE FOUNDATION OF EVERY SOLUTION. The goal of this 4-part course is to teach you how to use the Pillars of Progress and empower each of you to use the pillars in making good decisions for yourself that allow you to safely make progress toward your goals. \nThe pillars include:  \nMotivation\, Goals\, Resources\, Risk\, and Relationships. We will be dive into each of these pillars and how you can utilize them in your journey towards progress. \nDr. Paul has been teaching riders The Five Pillars of Progress for over 20 years. This framework provides a foundation for riders to make better decisions for themselves and overcome the challenges they face in their riding and with their horses. It is especially helpful when people begin to have issues or problems in their riding and their relationship with their horses. When riders intentionally consider each pillar and revisit the Pillars of Progress often\, they are empowered to overcome their challenges. This short course is designed to challenge and support you on your horsemanship journey. We are excited to share this powerful perspective with you and guide you in ways to use it effectively. \nCourse Details\nThis course includes four virtual lectures\, each lasting an hour\, with a 30-minute Q&A after each lecture. \nSo mark your calendars for: \nJune 15\, 7-8:30 pm EST: Motivation & Goals \nJune 22\, 7-8:30 pm EST: Resources & Risk \nJune 29\, 7-8:30 pm EST: Relationships \nJuly 6\, 7-8:30 pm EST: Pulling it all Together \nIf you are unable to attend the live lectures\, not to worry. Participants will receive a recording of each lecture. \nYou will also receive the Pillars of Progress PDF workbook. The workbook is an essential component of this course\, as it includes daily prompts\, reflections\, and exercises that will help you hone the concepts covered in the lectures. The workbook will allow you to fully integrate the Pillars of Progress into your daily life. \nIf you have any questions or concerns you’d like to chat with us about before signing up\, don’t hesitate to reach out!
