Who Are You Meant to Be?

It is said that at the moment of your birth you have an awareness of your potential and an idea of who you are meant to be. In the next moment, this awareness disappears into the unconscious where it becomes our task to uncover it during our lifetime.

Discover your predominant need that must be met in order for you to feel secure and achieve your potential. All too often, we remain unaware of what our built-in needs are and, as a result, they go unmet. We are then at the mercy of our unconscious impulses, emotions and habits of mind. We end up repeating longstanding patterns that get in the way of achieving our goals or creating the life of happiness and satisfaction we want.

In this highly interactive networking event, participants will connect with others who share the same predominant need based on their Striving Style. You will learn how its innate needs and emotional drives dictate your behaviour – personally and professionally. You will find out how to fully leverage your brain’s hard-wiring to achieve your potential and become who you were meant to be.

The Money Breakthrough Method: 3 Keys to Effortlessly Make More Money, Keep More of the Money You do Make and Tame Debt (May 18)

Do you have all the money you want? Are you able to keep enough of the money you have so you’re not just “getting by” but able to realize some of your heart’s desires as well? Does thinking of your financial situation make you feel empowered and in charge of your destiny?

If you answered “No!” to any of these questions, you won’t want to miss this live workshop. Let 2011 be the year you have your Money Breakthrough and absolutely transform your relationship with money!

Women in particular seem to have a challenging relationship with money. Despite our claims that we believe in prosperity and abundance, many women are still plagued with a financial mindset that is rooted in scarcity and fear. This plays out by us having a hard time charging what we’re worth or asking for a raise. We struggle to stay ahead of the cash flow feast-or-famine syndrome. Many are tired of not being able to keep more of the money we work so hard to make.

In this dynamic and interactive workshop you will:

• Discover the ways you are creating energetic leaks in your ability to attract and keep money right now
• Identify and release old limiting beliefs that hold you back from enjoying prosperity
• Let go of any family legacy around finances and money that do not support your prosperity
• Discover how to reclaim your Money Power
• A simple yet powerful method for taming debt
• Receive practical and simple tools and checklists you can use right away so you can quickly and radically transform your relationship with money

The workshop will be facilitated by Carolyn Ellis, the founder of BrillianceMastery.com and a certified Money Breakthrough Method and Money, Marketing & Soul coach. Participants will receive a workbook of course materials.

ABOUT OUR SPEAKER
Jacquie Hermans lived a life in turmoil. She was always in her head, analyzing every aspect of her life. She was never satisfied with her accomplishments, and chastising herself for her failures. She always needed to be prepared, for fear of looking like a failure.

While undergoing extensive improv training, Jacquie’s life forever changed. To overcome that knotted sick feeling in her gut, the sleepless nights of being in her head, the annoying eye twitch or lip quiver that sometimes emerged and her related digestive issues, she created strategies to overcome her thought patterns, breaking through her fears of failure and judgment.

With an employment background in corporate training, extensive education in personality and communications, along with her passion and experience in improv and television, she is now on a mission to transform people to flip their thought patterns to light’n up from the inside out.
