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.

life without direction, permitting yourself to be buffeted about by forces
apparently beyond your control? Make the first move, read this book and

Take stock

successes, values, roles and temperament.
Take control
of your thoughts, emotions, actions and destiny. Discard self-defeating
beliefs and attitudes.
Take aim at
what really matters to you. Discover your mission/vision/purpose. Learn
to set and achieve goals and to manage time within this framework.
Take off on
your life’s journey with renewed energy and confidence. Learn to act-not
just react. Learn to seek solutions-not just face problems. Learn specific
techniques to help you get unstuck and moving in the direction you have
chosen for yourself.
