How small shifts in awareness can quietly change everything, your decisions, your habits, and the direction of your life
About this Event

A quiet shift in perspective that could change the direction of everything.

We've got monthly Civic Sessions, designed to help you think differently, grow your business, and pick up practical tools. Each 45 – 60 min session is packed with tips, ideas, and takeaways (and a free lunch!)

This session, we explore awareness, not as a buzzword, but as a practical, life-changing skill that sits at the root of every good decision you'll ever make.

We'll cover:

➡️ Why awareness, not circumstance, is where real change begins


➡️ How to break the fear and avoidance loop for good


➡️ Small daily habits that quietly rewire how you live and lead


➡️ A simple framework to turn discomfort into direction


➡️ Why curiosity beats self-criticism every single time

Whether you're navigating personal challenges, leading a team, or simply feeling like life is pulling you along rather than you steering it, this session will give you the tools to slow down, see clearly, and move forward with intention.

Your host is John Ormandy — Lived Experience Ambassador at Rebuild With Hope CIC and founder of Social Pathways. With over 15 years in social enterprise and a profound personal journey that includes time in custody, John brings something rare to this session: genuine lived experience, hard-won wisdom, and an unfiltered understanding of what awareness, accountability, and real change actually look like.

Fancy sticking around? After the session, you're welcome to come and work from Civic — grab a desk, enjoy the space, and keep the momentum going!
