On Wednesday morning, I leave for Nashville. My plan is to visit the city, accompanied by my two sisters, so that I can determine whether or not I want to host a retreat there next Fall. So, my current Uncommon Confidence class will be off this week since we meet Wednesday nights. What I am hearing from them are signs of progress, however, as we approach Week #7. Women who didn’t talk in class are talking more, opening up to share more about what they are noticing and what’s stopping them. Something else that is going on is that they are less afraid of “breaking the rules”. That may mean re-working a term or concept I introduce, leaving early, or opening disagreeing with another woman in the group. That’s what I call progress!
Real change happens within us when you take the information given to you (or the information that you have always had) 
and don’t just accept it at face value, unquestioning as a lemming (note picture to the left and imagine a lemming at the cusp of the cliff). How it “is” or how it seems to be isn’t necessarily what it seems to be or what it will always be. So, I ask you to have a little faith. There is a system that works -mine!- but first you have to place a little faith in it. And so, there is a fine line between having faith and having the audacity to question. Part of my role is to help you negotiate and strengthen that line. Empower you to question while also expanding your faith.
Uncommon Confidence ends October 3. Awaken Your Passion starts on the following Thursday, October 11 in Sharon, CT. at the Women’s Support Services Office. If you’d like help and inspiration in negotiating that line, maybe you will join us. Also, starting in October, I have one opening for an individual client. To see if we might be a match in working together, contact me and we’ll spend some time hearing your goals, obstacles and what’s in between. We’ll also explore if my high expectations, unbridled support and wealth of ideas, resources and observations might be what you need.
Where in your life are you acting like a lemming?
