About the OTR Academy Club
The OTR Academy Club is created as a post-training, branded community space where practitioners, volunteers and the public can continue personal and professional growth with holistic wellbeing as the overarching theme – through ongoing events, peer support circles, and workshops. The structure is flexible, allowing for multiple thematic circles (e.g., for parents, teachers, career, etc), and emphasizes shared learning, applications, and the development of practical wellbeing skills. We want to create an environment where each group has a clear structure and a safe space for both practice and peer learning.
Our purpose is to inspire individuals in their personal and professional development journeys and foster deeper connections. Through deep sharing and guided reflections, attendees will learn how to thrive through stories, tools and strategies, as we work together and support each other as a community in our move towards a holistic transformation.
Our circles revolve around four main themes:
Develop: Personal development through understanding ourselves - our strengths and blindspots - in order to continue growing with clarity and purpose.
Connect: Mastering the science and art of communicating with compassion so that we thrive in the relationships that matter.
Lead: Level up leadership skill sets with focus on leading with purpose and connection in the age of AI.
Belong: Bringing community and collaboration to the forefront by sharing access to a large network of professional mentors, social impact leaders, mental health practitioners and experts.
About Parenting Circle
In our Parenting Circle series, we want to create a mindset shift in parenting: Shift Toward Child-Centered Parenting, Breaking Generational Patterns Through Self-Awareness, Cultivate Child-Centered Conversations and Promote Self-Work for Parents.
Our goal is to integrate child-centred conversations, self-awareness and inner work practices into all parenting circles, staying true to our mission of fostering genuine family wellbeing rather than mere parenting techniques.
We welcome all parents to join.
