Deep Dive Session--What's it like?

Pre Work

Please think about what your Focus Question is for the Deep Dive session.  This is the driving question for the session--what you want to discover through this process. Examples: What should my next career move be? What can I do to be happier, more content, feel more alive? Where should I move. What's next? Articulate the gist of what you are seeking through this process-your desired outcome.

Think about this question or this "frame" and sleep on it. Your subconscious will start processing it during your sleep cycle and you will be primed for the morning session with me.

Deep Dive Session--What's it like

This is an intensive process and a very organic one.  There are a few key models which provide a method to this process and my practice is influenced by the MGTaylor Modeling Language. Please review if you would like.

I will ask questions and move through the session in a mode of appreciative inquiry. Consider this a discovery session for yourself. We will unearth-fine tune-hone in- what you are seeking or wanting to create or change.

Consider:
-- creating new goals 
-- redirecting some aspect of your life
-- prioritizing important projects for the year
-- building new momentum in a part of your life
-- rethinking and reinventing your life and career
-- start your actions for the year



We will build a "Canvas" for you during the Deep Dive which will serve as a graphic memory of the session and use graphic facilitation techniques  to record your idea, thoughts and actions.

The 60 Day Coaching Challenge

The year is winding down and you are probably preparing for 2008.  Meanwhile did you meet the goals you set for yourself in 2007? 

Are there some leftovers you meant to "get around to" or "hoped you'd hit"?  Come on, fess up. Be honest. Most people (and probably you too) make goals for life, business, relationships, personal health, success, etc. and never reach them.

Do you find yourself saying that you'll do it next week, next month, next year, etc.? Do you keep pushing your goals back and back until you can't see them anymore?

There are 60 days left in 2007. Are you ready to reach your goal? My challenge to you is to finish 2007 strong!

So, no quitting now and blaming it on the holidays or lack of time or making other BS excuses. 60 days are 60 days. If this past year you didn't meet all your goals don't spend a second thinking about that or beating yourself up. The past is in the past and cannot be changed. 

The future is right there in front of you and can be changed by actions you take with me starting now.

Grab this opportunity and work with me for the next 60 days:
