“You have powers you never dreamed of.
You can do things you never thought you could do.
There are no limitations in what you can do except the limitations in your own mind as to what you cannot do.
Don’t think you cannot.
Think you can.”
--Darwin P. Kingsley
Coaches: I think that the topsy turvy year 2020 is a compelling reason to head into 2021 with all cylinders firing – i.e., with a plan/vision for taking charge of your life in a world of uncertainties and unpredictables.
Come to this presentation to experience the making of your “best self” in 2021. As you settle into the New Year, are you looking for new ideas to jumpstart and infuse a refreshed mindset into your own world as well as for your clients. What intentions have you set for yourself to make you a richer, stronger and more self-aware individual. How are you helping your clients re-focus for a successful 2021.
Get energized as Donna shares her experiences over the past 25 years in helping her clients see their own energy shifts as a result of a unique yearly visioning and intention-setting process. Learn how you, too, can bring your and your clients’ best selves into 2021 with a refreshed mindset. Discover creative ways to set goals and resolutions.
Through discussion, a case study and hands-on practice in the chat rooms, participants will walk away with:
· An energy shift as you learn to experience this new year differently;
· A greater awareness of the importance in setting a vision for yourself;
· Pragmatic, practical tools to use for yourself and for your clients to help you decide what you can do to experience 2021 differently.
Participants will earn 1 Core Competency CCE for attending for this webinar.
