I’m sitting in the Victoria airport … about to fly down to L.A. to attend an internet marketing conference (Ali Brown’s “last ever” online success blueprint workshop).
Ali’s been a great resource and guide for me for many years – so I’m looking forward to learning more from her … and seeing many friends, colleagues and clients who will also be attending.
I had my own “last ever” event last week – hosted my final Meeting Graphics 101 and The Graphics Bootcamp. A wonderful, diverse, international group keen to learn all they could about graphic recording and graphic facilitation (the group applications of the visual way of working). Thank you folks for coming – we had an awesome, productive time, eh?! And … a good cocktail party too!
The participants of our “last ever” Meeting Graphics 101 & Graphics Bootcamp
Many asked if I was sad at doing my last one – but I can honestly say that I wasn’t. I feel complete – it was my goal to “train out” my unique group facilitation knowledge so I can focus exclusively on the coaching / self-actualization side of my interests. And now, that time has come.
We have some great plans for 2009 – including a new “Graphics for Coaches” workshop, a SHIFT-IT training / individual license program and a SHIFT-IT Coach Certification. These programs have been years in the making – an answer to those helping professionals (coaches, therapists, consultants, etc.) who have wanted to learn my unique visual approach to coaching and personal visioning / planning work. I’m now finally ready to share my secrets with others – so SHIFT-IT work can expand and assist globally. It’s time to move it beyond just my solo practice, so more people can benefit and SHIFT!!
There is a huge shift in consciousness occurring on the planet … and I feel called to do my small part in helping that shift occur. So, I look forward to collaborating with you as a client and / or colleague as our future unfolds.
“Yes We Can!”
