Patrick J Ryan, who recently
retired from Tompkins-Cortland Community College (T-C3), has
developed a new Home-Study Personal Growth Course. Ryan
worked at T-C3 for 32 years as a Director Of Counseling and
a Professor of Psychology. He taught the Psychology of
Personal Growth course at the college for years, and was
also a sought-after speaker and seminar leader in the same
field.
“In the past there have been a
few interesting stories
written about personal growth. The problem with these is
that, while they usually have an inspirational message, they
are often weak on how to put that message into practice. On
the other hand, there have been countless
self-help books written. These usually have tons
of ‘how to’ material, but are sometimes deadly boring to
read” says Ryan.
Patrick Ryan’s
The
5 Steps to Personal Power
is The personal empowerment program that unlocks the
door to lasting change and puts you in control of your own
life-forever.
