Personal Development
“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.“ – Rumi
If you’re looking for a change, you’re in the right place.
Many of us have a deep sense that life could be better. A sense that our personal life and relationships could be more fulfilling, our work life more effective, and our sense of self freer. We might have tried different strategies and actions, but things stay the same. We sense that a deeper level of change is needed.
This is where Newfield Network’s personal development program meets where you are. Ontological learning offers you a space to observe yourself without judgment: your linguistic, somatic and emotional patterns, master assessments, narratives, beliefs and desires. More importantly, it enables you to connect with what you care about most, see new possibilities for action, and learn new tools to make critical shifts in your personal life.
All this is done with the support of professional coaches and a learning community.
Whether you are figuring out what to do next in life, wanting to improve an important relationship or pursuing deeper meaning and purpose, Newfield’s personal development program will give you clarity, passion, and tools for your next step.
Questions? We're Here for You!
Committing to a program can be a big decision, and we’re here to help. Linda Fischer, our Director for Community Relations and a Newfield Grad, can answer your questions, connect you to Newfield alumni who share your background, and give you the information and support you need.
