At the completion of the Discovery Programme, clients can choose to move onto one of our other programmes; Self Mastery and Social Mastery. Our Social Mastery Programme helps clients to explore their potential, set and achieve goals, and enhance confidence and self-esteem. 🚀 While participating in the Self Mastery Programme, our coaches collaborate with clients to delve into eight key modules, exploring vision, goals, positive self-talk, personal responsibility, strengths, self-care, priorities, and identity. 🚀 Some feedback we've had from clients taking these programmes is how they've become more self-confident and more respectful to others! We look forward to seeing the number of clients taking these programmes increase in 2025!

We've been working on our purpose statement in the background. What is a purpose statement, and how do we develop one and stay true to it? A purpose statement is a clear, concise declaration of the core reason our organisation exists. Rather than focus on what we do, we focus on WHY we do it - what drives it at a foundational level. We'll use our purpose statement to consistently ensure actions and decisions reflect our core mission!  It's been a beautiful journey getting to this point, where we reflected on our journey, starting back when we were known as Equality BOP in 1976 before the establishment of Avalon in 1985. Now as Momenta, our Purpose Statement reflects our way forward towards the future.  𝗧𝗼 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗸𝗮𝗵𝗮 𝘀𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗼 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲. #disablity #disabilityinclusion

Values are like fingerprints. Nobody's are the same, but you leave 'em all over everything you do. - Elvis Presley We love the comparison made between fingerprints and values - they are completely and 100% individual and make up the wonderful differences in how we live our lives. Everyone has unique values they bring to the table and we can celebrate those wonderful differences! This is where coaching programmes really help. You get tailored help to uncover your individual strengths and values so you can set your path forward and feel awesome doing so! #disabilityawareness #neurodiversity #disabilityaction
