ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

Faustine Judd

Faustine Graduated in April of 1982 from USF with a BA in Social Science including all of the curriculum for Social Work except for the final practicum as well as study of the treatment of alcoholism and the effect of alcoholism in the family.  During the 1980’s she also attended graduate classes at Rollins College in Orlando, Florida studying Theories of Psychology and Counseling.  She assisted in Family Counseling Sessions while working at Lakeland Manor Hospital in Lakeland, Florida

She attended Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah for two years taking various undergraduate and graduate classes including Family Systems, based on Virginia Satir’s work, Group Dynamics, Listening Skills, and Counseling.

During the past 20 years, Faustine has both attended and facilitated workshops, seminars and study groups on various topics that can be used to change and improve an individual’s life, both professional and personal.  During this time she has gathered material and information to share with others as well as learning truly transformational techniques for teaching using experiential exercises.  Her goal is to facilitate changes in lives, not to just motivate.  “Doing” creates new neural paths and leads to true Life Changes!

Since the year 2000 she has trained with Patricia J. Crane, Ph.D to lead experiential, self-development & motivational seminars, workshops, and study groups.  Some of the classes included in this training are Stress Management, Stress Management for Women, Heal Your Life, Achieve Your Dreams, Your Ideal Life Work, Ordering From The Cosmic Kitchen, and in 2008 she became certified as a Heal Your Life Personal Life Coach.

 

Faustine has led “life changing” classes at Bay Winds Adult Learning Center in Tampa as well as independent small study groups.  Heal your Life, Achieve Your Dreams, Hold Your Vision, and How Much Joy Can You Stand? 

The workshop, Heal Your Life, Achieve Your Dreams is based on Louise Hay’s book You Can Heal Your Life.  This workshop helps individuals become aware of how they may be unconsciously framing their life and relationships, including those at work.  This gives them the opportunity to decide if what they are now choosing to believe, and in turn how they are choosing to behave, is helping or hindering them in their personal and professional life.  The experiential exercises assist participants in forgiving the past, living in the present, and creating a more cooperative, productive life. 

Faustine developed a workshop called “Hold your Vision” to assist individuals in finding the best way for them to develop a clear goal, then focus on that goal to bring that “vision” to fruition.  Brain storming, Treasure Mapping, and Mind mapping are three of the tools taught in this particular workshop.  She introduces participants to the Reticular Activating System and how it can be used make your focus a laser beam instead of a shotgun.  She can also design and create specific workshops to address particular issues you would like to explore

The classes that Faustine offers are Experiential.  It is through experience that we tend to remember.  According to Edgar Dale, 1969, his Cone of Learning indicates that after two weeks we tend to remember only 20% of what we hear, but 90% of what we say or do.  The goal of any workshop, seminar, or class should not be solely to Motivate, the greater goal of Faustine’s classes is to create Positive Change for individuals demonstrated in both their personal and professional lives. 


Faustine is married to Jim Goeke who is a Workshop Leader and Teacher in his own right with a Masters in Rehabilitation Therapy and Counseling.
