Who We Are
Hello and welcome to Matthews For Human Potential! We provide workshops centered around Change, Self-Esteem and the Crystal Goblet concept.
Available Workshops
As a workshop facilitator, Dr. Matthews will apply an innovative and eclectic approach to support, stimulate and motivate change for diverse groups and organizations.
Activating Your Potential
Some women, men, and adolescents with great potential, find themselves living in a plexiglass cube. Because of perceived barriers challenging personal choices and decisions, there is resistance to taking steps toward developing healthy individual self-awareness and self-esteem. A well-developed self-awareness and self-esteem can help to provide a secure foundation for living life’s potential.
Strengthening Relationships
Although every individual is unique and has the capacity to function as an authentic self, according to Hackney and Cormier (2009), a way of viewing human functioning can be likened to ecological systems in which all elements are interrelated. Hackney and Cormier believe change at any level of the interrelated parts of human functioning will lead to alteration of the whole system.
Cultural Consciousness and Competence
In 1968, Jane Elliott, a teacher in Riceville, Iowa was trying to teach her students what it felt like to be a Black person in their society at that time. She decided to conduct an experiential learning activity in response to a question one of her students presented to her in class. The student wanted to know “why a King was killed.”
The Crystal Goblet
The Crystal Goblet concept is an approach developed to emphasize the importance of treating yourself and others with positive regard. The seeds of healthy self-esteem and relationships are cultivated through positive attitudes and behavior. We live in an environment of many diverse individuals, groups, and life situations. We are and will continue to be an interdependent society.
Second Chances 4 All
With Second Chances 4 All, individuals and small groups have an opportunity to restore hope and fortitude for their dreams and aspirations.
Sometimes adversity happens during early experiences of life and we wonder if we hit the delete button on our dreams and aspirations. We believe chances of obtaining an education, pursuing a career, maintaining a healthy body, developing healthy relationships, having a healthy self-esteem, or other dreams and aspirations are opportunities in a world of hopelessness.
Second Chances 4 All is a journey of positive thinking, believing and life experiences. The opportunity of change and growth is perpetual.
