Attending a Grid Society Workshop offers a unique opportunity for personal growth and self-reflection. In recent sessions, participants have shared inspiring ways they plan to apply what they’ve learned.
At New City College, in partnership with Activate Learning, our overcoming negative thinking workshop, which we call Confront the Grey Voices, made a deep impact on a focused group of trainee counsellors.
Designed to go beyond theory, the session introduced practical, mindset-shifting tools that help participants challenge self-critical thought and reclaim clarity. What followed was a powerful day of emotional strategy, self-affirmation, and real growth.
WHAT WORKSHOP
ATTENDEES
SAID
Here are 5 practical ways attendees said they will activate their learning (pardon the pun) in real life:
Categorise their thoughts into Grey, Green, and Orange for mental clarity.
Create a “Your Validations” section to regularly reflect on affirming feedback they receive - taken from our 13-step defence
Use the Grid tools with clients in counselling sessions as well as for personal self-awareness.
Continue practising the Grid method to boost self-esteem and self-confidence, leading to life improvement.
Use the provided template for journaling, tracking emotions with colour-coded percentages for better reflection.

CONFRONT THE GREY VOICES
WORKSHOP. THIS IS DEFINITELY YOUR SIGN!
It’s time to take full control of your mind and silence the second-guessing once and for all.
🫵
This is the only workshop known for giving people the strength to face their critic, reduce the spirals, and turn up the volume on the stronger voice that didn’t disappear; you just stopped listening.
👊
You don’t need to be falling apart or in the middle of a meltdown. Your inner critic doesn’t need to be playing mind games with you. Sometimes, you just need a mindset check.
A motivational upgrade to strengthen your mind and add a new layer of clarity.

6 Reasons
this Workshop
is For You!
You appear confident on the outside, but you’re constantly second-guessing yourself in private. This truthfully keeps you up late at night and stops you from starting your day productively.
You’re productive, but your inner critic is still louder than your wins. Your successes feel short-lived to you.
You’ve tried affirmations, mantras, and mindset tips, but none of them help when the spiral starts.
You’re exhausted by how loud your mind gets. It’s just you in a mental battle with your own thoughts, and sometimes it can feel isolating, like nobody really gets you.
You’ve achieved a lot, but you still question if you're good enough. You want to reach the next level you’ve been working toward, but you know you can’t get there until you take control of the inner critic cycle you’ve been experiencing.
You don’t want another quote or another 30-second tip. You want something real. Tools and a system you can take hold of and activate daily in your life.
About
this Workshop
This is where you stop letting your inner critic decide who you are.
This workshop gives you practical tools to identify, challenge and shut down the inner critic that’s been running the show in your mind for far too long. You will learn how to recognise your thought spirals in real time and interrupt them before they drag your energy, confidence or clarity.
You’ll be guided back to what we call your Orange Voice. This is the part of you that speaks with clarity, steadiness and strength. For some, that voice has been buried. For others, it’s been drowned out by noise. And for many, it’s simply never been fed — their confidence, self-belief and inner authority were never given the space to grow. This is where you strengthen your voice and learn how to recognise when your inner critic is speaking, so you can use the strategy in real time.
This workshop includes our now-infamous 13-Step Defence, a highly practical tool that helps you confront negative thoughts the moment they show up. Not later. Not in theory. In real life. You’ll walk away with a structured strategy that helps you become more conscious of the thought habits and mental patterns that have been working against you, so you can interrupt the spiral and rewrite the algorithm.
Once you take back control of your mind, something softens and for the first time in a while, life starts to feel possible again...
