The Objective of the Course
The objective of the course is to provide Emotional Wellness information, tools, and strategies to build a strong Emotional Wellness foundation to support an individual’s state of Emotional Wellness for when they are faced with life’s evitable waves (challenges). This is achieved through the practical and interactive course content, which incorporate Garth’s evidence-based Emotional Wellness Models.
The course does not act as, nor replaces a clinical intervention. If an intervention is required, individuals are encouraged to engage with a professional practioner and/or organisation who are qualified in providing these services. Likewise, the course does not act as a counselling session and participants will not have to disclosure any personal situations/experiences unless they are willing to do so. There are plenty of self-reflection activities incorporated into the course.
‘A Coffee with Garth’ Training and Coaching Concept
How ‘A Coffee with Garth’ was Born
The café scene has become major part of peoples’ lifestyle. For individuals, it is an extension of their living room where they meet with friends and family to catch up over coffee, and for business, it has become a popular venue for meetings. A café is an environment that creates an atmosphere which is enjoyable, relaxed, informal, and non-threatening. Therefore, individuals feel comfortable and safe to open-up, resulting in constructive and positive communication and interaction. Since Garth is a regular patron of cafés, he realised it would be fantastic to replicate this atmosphere into his courses and coaching, and thus… ‘A Coffee with Garth’ was born!

‘A Coffee with Garth’…
a fun, funky, and unforgettable training environment, which creates alearning atmosphere that is highly engaging, relaxed, and non-threatening
for the participants.

Embedding and Sustainability of Learning
Garth’s goal is that the training does not become a one-off activity, but rather that the desired outcomes are achieved from the Emotional Wellness course through the embedding and sustainability of the learning. Due to this, Garth applies the proverb, “Give a person a fish and you will feed them for a day. Teach a person how to fish and you will feed them for a lifetime”. To achieve this, Garth has developed;
‘A Coffee with Garth’ Journey of Learning… the 4Cs’

Once a participant is competent, they can confidently share their Emotional Wellness knowledge with others, resulting in an ‘Emotional Wellness Ripple Effect’.
Measuring the Course Outcomes
It is important to measure the outcomes the course achieved for the participants through an evaluation process, which captures quantitative and qualitive measures. This is achieved through the course evaluation form, which is completed by each participant immediately at the conclusion of the course,along with capturing key progress measures at the starting point (prior to the course), 1 month and 3 months after the course.
