About this Event
Have you ever wondered why you keep reacting in the same way — even when you know you want to respond differently?
Perhaps you:
- feel stuck or unmotivated
- overthink situations or conversations
- become frustrated or defensive more quickly than you'd like
- find yourself repeating the same patterns
- struggle with expectations in relationships
- know what you should do, but find yourself reacting differently in the moment
- want to understand yourself more deeply
If any of these sound familiar, greater self-awareness may be a useful place to start.
🌿 An 8-week journey into self-awareness
FROM REACTION TO RESPONSE is an interactive 8-session personal-development programme designed to help you explore what happens beneath your automatic reactions.
Rather than simply giving you advice, the programme encourages you to observe, question and understand your own patterns.
Across the eight sessions, we will explore:
1. Conscious & subconscious patterns
How patterns can influence the way we think and behave.
2. Your stories and past experiences
How previous experiences can shape the way you see yourself and the world.
3. Limiting beliefs & self-worth
Exploring beliefs such as “I'm not good enough” and how they can influence our choices.
4. The present moment
Learning to notice what is happening within you rather than constantly being carried by thoughts about the past or future.
5. Triggers — reaction vs response
Understanding what triggers you and creating space between what happens and how you respond.
6. Relationships, expectations & perceptions
Exploring judgment, expectations, acceptance and the way our perceptions influence relationships.
7. From limitation to choice
Recognising where you may have more choice than you previously realised.
8. Creating lasting change
Bringing the learning together and considering how greater awareness can become part of everyday life.
What makes this different?
This is not simply eight talks where you sit and listen.
The sessions are designed around reflection, discussion, practical exercises and personal exploration.
You will have an opportunity to:
✓ Understand your own patterns
✓ Explore what triggers your reactions
✓ Question beliefs that may be limiting you
✓ Develop greater awareness of your thoughts and emotions
✓ Consider different ways of responding
✓ Gain greater clarity about your choices
✓ Take your learning into everyday life
You don't need any previous experience. You simply need curiosity and a willingness to explore yourself.
I am pleased to offer an 8-session FROM REACTION TO RESPONSE Workshop at Airyhall Community Centre, Aberdeen.
💷 One programme. Eight sessions. £50.
Instead of paying for individual workshops, your £50 investment covers all eight sessions — approximately £6.25 per session.

👤 Facilitated by Certified Mentor Kambiz Bidad
I bring more than 30 years of professional experience across engineering, leadership, business development, strategy and mentoring, together with a strong interest in self-awareness and personal development.
My role is not to tell you how you should live your life.
It is to create a space where you can explore, question and discover for yourself.
Perhaps change doesn't always begin with doing more.
Perhaps it begins with seeing more clearly.
And when you become more aware of what is happening within you, you may begin to create something very valuable:
A choice between the trigger and the response.
Places are limited. If this speaks to you, book your place and join us in Aberdeen.
