Google Docs are useful, web-based programs that are very similar to MS Office. These docs can be saved in many different formats (including MS Office). Some advantages of using Google Docs are that they are web-based and thus easily accessible, multiple people can collaborate at the same time, their contributions are easily tracked, and all docs have an automatically created url address and can thus be easily shared through email or embedded to display on a webpage like WebCT, a Bio-page, or on a voyager site. To participate in creating a Google Doc, you will need an account. Go to: docs.google.com to create one.

In this workshop you will explore what is actually sabotaging you from doing what you say you want to do, and learn tools to break the cycle and create your best life.
