HAPPINESS MATTERS
How Happy Do You Dare To Be?
Not only does being happy make us feel good but research now demonstrates that happiness is our most generative and productive state.
Not only is happiness a choice we can make for ourselves but there are resources and tools to empower us to learn how to be more joyful, content, optimistic, and resilient.
Contrary to popular belief, happiness is not simply the result of good genes or good luck. Research shows that a joyful and fulfilling life can be cultivated by building on the best things in life and identifying and using many of the signature strengths and traits we already possess.
Stress Makes Us Stupid
Have you ever noticed how stress can make us stupid? When we are stressed, we cannot remember, attend, learn, or make decisions clearly. By learning what triggers our negative and often stressful emotions, we become able to better manage our reactions and choose our responses.
Energizing Your Life
In this program, participants are introduced to the concept of basic and "powerhouse" sources and how to tap into them. For those who wish to take the conversation to the next level, there will be workbooks available. Take the first step to becoming an energy connoisseur in order to increase your experience of well-being and to incorporate vitality and balance into the structure of each day.
SOUL SEARCHING OPPORTUNITIES
Journaling: A Tool for Self-Awareness
The art of journaling provides an inspiring way to clear the mind by bringing to light and examining one's most deeply held thoughts and beliefs. It allows for creativity, insights, and new ideas to come forth and take hold, first in our consciousness and then in our life. In this experiential program, you will be given an overview of some of the more interesting journaling techniques and an opportunity to discover how effective journaling can be.
Knowing Your Values and Valuing Your Knowing
This Values conversation is the starting point for a personal exploration into the "core" of one's life. Just imagine clearly understanding the unique gift that you are here to be. Imagine how that knowing would inspire the present and transform your future. Join me for a conversation and experience that will introduce you to your essential self. This methodology is designed to:
- clarify core values
- create a values-based model for decision making and navigating life
- design a strong personal foundation to support one's sense of purpose
- weave core values into all the realms of one's life
Radical Awakening of Self and Soul through Poetry
The noise of civilization can, at times, drown out the more subtle whisperings of the soul. Yet, when we stop and listen, we create the space for our authentic Self to emerge from out of the cacophony. We write, as Julio Olalla says, "to make sense beyond logic of the human experience." This is poetry. The workshop begins with a brief conversation on both the efficacy and magic of poetry. Then, using music and meditation to shift the energy, each participant is invited to write from his/her own place of inspiration.
PLAYFUL POSSIBILITIES
The Transformation Game®
One of the unique niches of my coaching practice is in the area of transformative awareness. Rigorously trained as a facilitator of the Transformative Game® by its creators, Joy Drake and Kathy Tyler from Findhorn, Scotland, I utilize the advanced version of this board game as a way to jump start an exploration for those who are in transition and searching for a new awareness and direction.
Based on the principle that the Universe responds to our clear intentions, players begin by setting a playing focus, which serves as the context for their game. Centered around a board with individual "life paths" symbolizing each player's world, the Game allows seekers to explore the deepest levels of their being and receive guidance and inspiration.
The Game is a powerful interactive tool, offered in a stimulating, and supportive group setting in which openness, cooperation, and sharing are encouraged. As a coach and facilitator, I guide each player to draw forth their wisdom and creativity. As a follow-up, traditional individual or group coaching sessions area offered, so that the experiences of the game can be used as a springboard for personal growth and development at any stage on life's journey.
Intuitive Solutions®
Buckminster Fuller likens intuition to cosmic fishing. "You feel the nibble, and then you have to hook the fish." Intuitive Solutions® provides a delightful hour or so of exploring one's inner ocean in this special way. It is based on the Transformation Game® which is a sophisticated and multifaceted opportunity for thinking out of the box and incorporating one's inner wisdom in making vital choices. This short program introduces participants to these tools and shares ways that they might be useful into one's personal and professional life.
Golf Success - An Emotionally Intelligent Approach
Presented in conjunction with Master PGA Professional Gary Wiren
For most players, golf is both a captivating pastime and a frustrating activity. The game can be an emotionally challenging test, not just of our technical skills but also of our ability to "manage" ourselves on the course. This presentation encourages participants to take a deeper look at why and how they play the game in order to discover ways to create greater success and enjoyment in their golfing experiences.
