Increasing Personal Effectiveness, Influence and Self-Mastery Fall 2012
Mastering Indispensability is a 3-day highly interactive, very advanced self-development workshop to develop leaders, entrepreneurs, change agents and high performers who are committed to expanding their influence and positive impact on individuals and larger numbers of people. This unique offering uses an “inner-outer” approach to facilitate personal transformation. Mastering Indispensability provides you with strategies and tools to play a bigger game, overcome long-standing challenges, and gain a new level of personal and professional gratification and fulfillment.
What makes this a true mastership program? Two kinds of results are achieved: First, you will participate in a series of activities to raise consciousness where you experience your life and workplace from a “higher altitude.” This means that instead of being caught in problems and conflicts, you rise above them. From a “higher” consciousness you are more equipped to “see” the problem accurately and resolve it more quickly. Second, instead of just giving you more tools for your current position in life or work, you learn and apply those tools to address “inner” unresolved issues, limiting beliefs, and self-sabotaging habits that will transform you to a new level of success and fulfillment. The result: you become more indispensable to others and yourself by the increased value you bring to your work, your family and yourself through greater inner peace and fulfillment.
You will explore your beliefs, perceptions, intuition, thoughts, and reactions in order to heighten your awareness of yourself and others. Through this gained awareness and insight, you will be able to “see” complex or challenging situations more clearly, provide more creative solutions, and apply your unique talents to better support others in their personal growth process. You will not only come away with over 20 different tools and techniques, but you will have applied them in the workshop to experience you being more energized, inspired and revitalized. And, while this program promises to be enlightening for improving all levels of personal development – mental, emotional, physical and spiritual – it is both highly practical and very fun! This is not a “spill your guts” approach to personal development – it is safe and fun! –Did I mention how fun it was?
