announcement headerQuestions to Reflect on 2007 and Move forward to 2008

 

1.      List the challenges you faced this year.  Briefly describe each one.  What's your perspective on each one now?  What has been the gift of each one? What, if anything, are you incomplete with? How will you complete it?

 

2.     List your successes from the past year.  Briefly describe each one.  How does each one make you feel today - describe the feeling physically, emotionally and/or spiritually.  What values do these successes reflect? 

 

3.     What "Golden Nuggets" have you learned about life during the past year that you'd like to carry into the New Year?  What do you feel doesn't serve you any longer and would like to let go of?

 

4.     How do you want to BE in the New Year?  What's an affirmation or structure you can use to remind yourself?

 

5.     Do something creative to express your vision of the  year to come.  This could be in the form of a poem, a collage, a drawing, anything that solidifies and expresses what you want the new year to be. Create from the space of pure possibility!

 

 

Use this list of questions in whatever way is most impactful for you.  Thanks for taking the time to reflect and celebrate your life!

NEW COACHING PROGRAM FOR 2008:
 

SEASONS OF A TRUE LIFE

A Group Coaching Journey to Live your Vision

 

This offering is meant to assist people who can't afford their own coach or the cost of a retreat but is not limited to them - it is open to any woman who wants Coaching and a community of support to live your True Life... Now.

 

The focus will be on growth through goals -- What Vision do you have and what personal learning is necessary to manifest that Vision?

 

·     The cost will be $600 for the year.  There will be a 50% payment due to hold your spot (group size is limited to 8) and the balance of 50% will be due the 5th month of the program.  Payment is encouraged by check, but you can pay by credit card (with a slight increase due to processing charges). For anyone who needs financial assistance, a payment plan can be arranged.

 

  • This program is a year-long commitment.  The program will begin Friday, January 25th and end Friday, December 12, 2008.  Participants are responsible for making all mini-retreats and calls throughout the year.  One make-up call will be allowed - no make-ups for missed mini-retreats.

 

  • There will be 4 mini-retreats -- each 3 hours long, held quarterly with the seasons, that will meet in person throughout the year at locations to be determined that resonate with the seasonal weather.  The first and last retreats will be on a Friday evening and the two middle retreats will be on a Saturday morning.

 

  • Between retreats, there will be 1-1.5 hour follow up Coaching calls by phone with the whole group, once a month, to check-in on participants around actions steps, obstacles and successes.

 

  • I will be using coaching techniques and other goodies from my basket of tools for the structure of the retreats and calls.  These can include: meditation, visualization, journaling, Soul Collage cards, ritual action and other transformational processes.

 

  • Register by December 15th and receive a 10% discount!
