Be Your Own Success Story - Finding Focus During Times of Change

Too many times, we lose focus and much of "who we are" when faced with a time of change during our lives.

What people don't realize, is that it is more important than ever to place you, your needs and your goals first, especially at times of (personal and/or professional) transition. This will help you feel empowered and in control when you need it most.

The focus of this workshop includes:

For those of you who have inquired, I have addressed your questions:

Why did I put these workshops together?

Many of you have inquired about my transition coaching as well as my goal setting workshops. Basically, I put together these workshops for two reasons:

1. I love to teach. I have an MAT in Secondary Teaching with a specialty in English. I figured with a room full of people from different backgrounds, this would make for a fun and inspiring hour and a a half.

2. I am a bit amazed as to how many people I coach (business and/or personal) do not have goals. Without goals, you will never achieve what you want out of life. To help people find focus and clarity is the most rewarding job. I really do enjoy helping people unveil their passions in life.

What is a goal setting workshop anyway? What does Be Your Own Success Story mean?

We hear stories in the media about people that have set the world on fire with personal and/or professional achievement all the time. However, many of us do not think we have the capability to do the same. For the past five years, I have studied success principles from many of these people that have overcome tremendous odds. I wanted to share with you what I have learned. Based on this, I see no reason why you cannot "be your own success story."

What you will get out of the workshop:

Goals can be intimidating and many of us have no idea how the heck to set them. The worst thing that can happen is that you listen to stories from other aspiring goal setters, learn a few tips, assimilate with their life, make some new friends, and worst case scenario, eat some good pizza. You get an "A" for effort for simply going which should make you feel empowered.

You will be one step closer to a better life. Believe it or not, that hour and a half will be spent thinking about what you want out of your life. Even if you have never done it before, you will sit back and start to think about what kind of life you want to live.

Stories that inspire will be shared. There isn't a workshop that goes by when I don't learn a thing or two. You will see, no matter where you have been through life's journey, there are many of us have been there, done that. In addition, if you haven't traveled down that road before, you will see that people have the most amazing tools on how to succeed during the most difficult of times.

A little piece of your life will be handed back to you. My hope is that you will get a little piece of yourself back after all you have done, over the course of your life, for everyone else.

No matter what stage you are in your life - whether you are going back to work, changing careers, getting a divorce, expanding your business, or there is a little voice inside your head that simply wants more, you will get something out of this workshop. That is what makes it fun. Although we may have different goals, we all have one thing in common- the desire to push ourselves further to live a more fulfilled and happier life.

“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.”  C.S. Lewis
