For over 15 years, local business owner Elizabeth Shopland has been passionate about pursuing training in the personal development field and has participated in over a dozen training programs around North America.

In October of this year, she requested one of the premier personal growth and development companies, Klemmer and Associates, to come to the valley and offer two training workshops for the valley residents.

“To have this calibre of company coming here is exceptional,” she said. “I absolutely believe that anybody can benefit from these programs — this is the company that I like the best, I find it the most impactful, makes the biggest amount of change in the shortest amount of time… I think it will be a very nice fit for the valley. They’re very grassroots.”

Her business, Banyan Tree Solutions, will be offering five complimentary tickets to an evening workshop on January 15 from 7 to 10 p.m. at Copper Point Resort. Later in February, Klemmer and Associates will return to the resort to facilitate a Personal Mastery weekend. Contact Shopland at 250-342-8978 for more information, tickets and registration for both events.  Advance tickets for the January workshop are $20 (also available at The Book Bar) or $59 at the door.
