But it doesn’t have to be like that.
In fact, quite the contrary -- you can access a state of flow where you'll
get the traction you need to make a bigger impact in a way that fills you up
instead of sucking the life out of you.
I
know this, because I have experienced it myself. I've spent much my life in the grip of an
overachiever syndrome, compelled to excel at everything I did and habitually
taking on way more than I could handle -- working myself into a frenzy that
often had me collapsing in exhaustion.
I've
also spent many years learning and practicing strategies that have allowed me
to find a better way of working and living. From a very early age I was drawn to learning
about personal and spiritual development, psychology, mindfulness, stress
management, meditation, neurobiology, transformation, creativity, communication
and human relationships. I devoured
books, watched lectures, sought mentors, and attended workshops and group
sessions on these topics.
And
I've not only applied what I've learned in my own life, but as an executive
coach and leadership development/ organization effectiveness consultant I've
worked with hundreds of leaders and executives over the last twenty years to
help them apply these principles with great success. As a result they were able to do more than they thought possible while
enjoying harmony in their lives, allow their work to feed them rather than
deplete them, and move from a state of anxiety and pressure into one of passion
and flow.
My book, The Pinocchio Principle: Becoming a Real Leader, was written in an
effort to share what I have learned both in my personal and professional
life. And now I am piloting an online
course, The Integrated Leader's Guide to
Finding Your Flow, designed to help people directly apply these concepts,
frameworks, tools and methodologies in their own lives in a meaningful and
practical way.
The Integrated Leader’s Guide to
Finding Your Flow is a four week online training and
leadership development coaching program whose goal is to help you access this
optimal state where you can think more clearly, get more done in less time,
make better decisions, perform at your best and feel a sense of satisfaction
and fulfillment with your work and life overall. You will learn to recognize when you are
getting in your own way and take steps to reverse the cycle that leads you to
feel overwhelmed, anxious, pressured, and out of touch with your best
self.
What does the program include?
As
part of this program, which closes for registration on Friday April 29, you'll
receive:
· Four
weeks of online training, from Monday 5/2 through Thursday
5/26/16. Each week will include a one hour live webinar, on Mondays from
11:30am to 12:30pm, which will be recorded and made available for replay. ($2,000
value)
o
Week
One will introduce you to the Personal Power Grid and help you
to differentiate your level of engagement (which increases performance and joy)
from your level of attachment (which leads to anxiety, fear and overwhelm) and
become aware of how you are currently approaching your work and the impact that
approach is having on your well being.
o
Week
Two will give you strategies for decreasing your level of
attachment, allowing you to dismantle the parking brake that keeps you from
engaging and adds stress and pressure to everything you do.
o
Week
Three will provide you with strategies for increasing your level
of engagement, your ability to rise up to the challenges and opportunities in
your life and bounce back from disappointment, and the degree to which you can
leverage all your experiences to help you get where you want to go.
o
Week
Four will help you become aware of common pitfalls and
strategies for avoiding them, and give
you tips and tools for staying in your zone and course correcting in the case
that you fall into old habits and patterns
· Each week of training will be
accompanied by worksheets and journaling
activities that will allow you to apply the concepts being covered to your
specific challenges and opportunities. You will have the option to submit your
work to me for review, which will
include feedback, recommendations and additional questions to help you get
the most out of each lesson. ($500 value)
· Four
group Q/A and coaching sessions conducted on Thursdays from 11:30am
to 12:30pm MST. These sessions, designed
to allow you and other participants to ask questions, share insights, and work
through any difficulties may encounter, will be conducted via a conference call
service, which will allow you to call in from any location. Calls will be recorded and made available for
replay. ($2000 value)
· The option to upgrade your participation to add two one-on-one coaching
calls with me to explore in greater depth your specific challenges and how
you can apply the principles, tools, and strategies taught in the course to
address them. ($1,200 value)
· A copy of my book, The
Pinocchio Principle: Becoming a Real Leader ($16.95 value)
How much does it cost?
Basic participation costs $997 and includes four weekly training webinars (available for replay), worksheets and journaling exercises and feedback I'll provide on what you submit, and four weekly group Q/A and coaching calls (available for replay).
Enhanced participation costs $1497 and includes basic participation as well as two fifty minute one on one coaching calls to be scheduled at your convenience.
What are the benefits of being in a pilot?
· Enrollment will be capped at a total of 15 people. This will allow me to give you a very high level of interaction and attention so that I can determine the best way to address your specific needs with the most applicable and powerful tools and techniques.
· While I've been sharing the material in this course with clients for several years, since I have never taught it in this particular format before I am offering this pilot at a significantly lower rate. While you will pay $997, I plan to ultimately roll this course out for the cost of $2,500 to $3000. This allows you to receive a great deal of value for your money.
· Feedback I gather from you on what worked well and what you would like to see more of will be incorporated in training videos offered in future sessions. I will make these updated and enhanced training videos available to you at no extra charge.
What if I'm not satisfied?
If after the second week of the course you feel you are not receiving incredible value for your time and money, I will refund the full amount of your tuition.
