Seeing Yourself in Another

Have you ever been to a workshop or seminar where the person talking is fully alive and radiant? You can see their passion through their eyes?

Have you ever walked down the street and been drawn to look into a strangers eyes only to see them looking at your soul with a smile and a hello?

Have you ever taken the time to be still and experience with every cell in your body a birds song, a warm breeze, a child's laugh?

Have you ever wondered what all that is?

Is is all of us. It is allowing yourself to show up fully, vulnerably, without stories. It is BEing.

When I think about that light that shines thorough someones eyes, when I see the passion and energy flow over a crowd listening to someone speak... I think of who I know I am (and who I know you are).

Connected... Mind, Body & Soul.

Living.

Breathing.

Experiencing.

Receiving.

Enlivening the essence of who I am... to stand up and be seen.

Mind, Body & Soul... what speaks to you?

Mind, Body & Soul

As I think about my present and future... one thing keeps coming into my mind.

Passion = Engagement of Body+Mind+Soul combined

This is March's topic for Shaping Our Future - Women's Leadership Series Mind, Body & Soul. During these few hours I hope to explore this in the context of leadership.

• Is engaging with Mind, Body and Soul the key to living a passionate and successful life?

• Can one be an engaging leader with out all three?

• How much more effective can it be?

• What are some ways to ensure we are engaging the 3?

• What are some of the ways we can stay connected in our day to day?

Please join me in exploring this topic further on Wednesday, March 5th beginning at 7 p.m.

Location: Growing Forward, 1153 Cole Harbour Road, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia

Cost: $10 / person

Please RSVP by Monday, March 3rd with your Name and Telephone Number at potential@eastlink.ca or calling Lori at (902) 461-9169

Compelling Conversations

Shaping our Future... this to me is a mark I wish to leave on this world.

Not only am I willing to shape my own future, but I want other women to realize that they too can shape whatever they will expreince in life.

Shaping our Future... this is very much about me, about me choosing to create the world I want, and what I want for my children.

Not willing to let others decide for me, speak for me, choose for me or plan my life for me, to create, to inspire, to be free to choose.

Shaping our Future... this is also about standing up for yourself, for what you know is right deep down within the very depths of your being.

Not willing to be silent and let others do things to you, to the people you love, taking control of all of that by finding and expressing voice.

Shaping our Future... it is something all of us wish to do. We all do it is small ways already, think about it.

Think about the ways you have already created things in your life, by choosing to speak or by choosing to remain silent.

Allow yourself to imagine just what kind of future we can shape, if we put our awareness and intention into it.

Mind boggling isn't it?

I'm looking forward to some really compelling conversations tonight at the first Shaping our Future - Women's Leadership Series being held tonight.

Can you feel the excitement?

Calling all Strong, Confident Women (& those searching for that within)

Life is passing by quickly... are you living the type of life you always wished you would?

Happiness is there for all of us... are you allowing yourself to live moment to moment and enjoy it?

The Lioness is within you... the ability to hold both crucible and spear, embracing both male and female energies... this is part of what makes up the powerful woman you are and the visionary and leader that resides within.

Being a leader does not mean you want followers.

Being a leader has nothing to do with what you do for a living, your title or your status.

Finding that place of truth within yourself, learning to express your authentic voice for you, through you, in a way that is meaningful to you; that attracts others to you like a magnet... being perceived by others as a leader because you are authentically you.

And knowing that which lies within yourself.

I'm calling all Strong Confident POWERFUL Women, to come out and play. Engage with others in conversations, once a month... or as often as you can make it.

Shaping Our Future is about you, about me, it is about those who came before us, about those around us and those who will come after us.

Come and see how we can make a difference in this world we live in.

First topic Fundamentals of Leadership is on Wednesday, February 6th, at 7:30 p.m.

Let's wake up the world together... to the potential we all hold inside.

Shaping our Future – Women’s Leadership Series

A new series of sessions being held once a month to be an invitation for conversations, mentoring and new relationships to be built.

Topic for February – Fundamentals of Leadership

This program is for women who are trying to discover their own leadership within and for women who are already in “leadership” positions.

The invitation is for women who are comfortable, confident and catalysts in their lives and careers to come and share stories, thoughts and ideas with the women who are there who have not yet discovered the leaders they already are in their lives. The benefit of these conversations will be felt by all who participate.

This group will meet the 1st Wednesday of every month at Growing Forward, 1153 Cole Harbour Road, in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Approximately 2 hours from 7:30 – 9:30 p.m. beginning on February 6th, 2008.

Cost is $10 per session, RSVP your attendance by the Monday prior to the session to Lori Walton, 461-9169 or via e-mail at potential@eastlink.ca

Limited Seating please reserve your space soon.
