What’s On Your Bucket List? (Aug 18)

First of all, what is a “bucket list”?  A bucket list is quite simply the things we want to achieve before we “kick the bucket”.  It could be learning a new language, starting your own business, running a marathon, climbing a mountain, getting a degree after the kids have gone off to university, or owning a cottage.  It is those dreams we keep putting off to another day, often a day that never comes.

Join us for a workshop that will help you bring your dreams back to life!

In this 2-hour workshop, we will use a variety of media from handouts and whiteboards to discussions and Q&A exercises throughout the seminar to help you create your own personal Bucket List.

This interactive workshop will help you:

• Find clarity about your most important priorities and passions
• Get inspired by the stories of others as they share their dreams
• Come away empowered with new techniques and tools to tackle the things that you’ve always wanted to do!

This workshop offers participants a unique opportunity to share and explore life’s ambitions and the means to achieve them in a fun, collaborative environment that elicits the powerful inspiration that lies within us all to bring our visions to life and find fulfillment and joy!

The workshop will be led and facilitated by Susan Wright, founder of Wright Momentum, a lifestyle coaching and consulting company that inspires people and organizations to engage in a process of change that generates renewed energy, synergy and collaboration.  As a seeker of experience, a masterful designer, and guide for handling new and uncomfortable terrain, she helps people rapidly develop trust to arrive at conscious choices and inspired action to successfully manage change and create desired results.

This session is for you if:

• You have always wanted to become a more effective speaker
• You build your business through networking
• You want to be cool and comfortable when conversing with someone you just met at a networking function or social event.
• You want to stand out among all your competitors in the networking world.

eat your mistakes whole

“There’s no such thing as a mistake.” Ha!

This is one of my favourite New Age doozers. Puhleez. Like, getting hosed because you didn’t get it in writing wasn’t a major drag. And spilling your friend’s secret to the wrong person burnt that bridge to a crisp. Or not saying “yes!” to the one that got away – well, THAT sucked. There are such things as mistakes. Major eff-ups and human stupidity happens to the best of us. The rest of us are in denial.

And yes, yes, mistakes are positively divine, each one moves us forward – even the ones that flip your world upside down. I’ve never made a mistake that I didn’t learn to love. But before we spiritualize and shellac the error of our ways, it’s incredibly useful to put our faux pas under the microscope. It’s liberating. It’s grown up. It’s dignified. And best of all, once you see your mistakes for what they are – you are more certain to good and truly move on!

Give it a go: Admit to your mistakes. Just admit it. No one else is listening. Make a pathetic, grizzly list of all the “sooo should not have’s” in your life. Don’t resist it. Clean house! (I’ll go first: should not have done a 50/50 deal with X, should not have shared the news that G’s wife was having an affair with his…sister, should not have struck a “creative control” deal with last publisher, should not have gotten B’s name tattooed on my ass.)

I wager that rather than feeling grossed out, you might get kind of giddy – eventually. You could feel the rush of knowing better, the delight of being the wiser for your wear. A subtle sense of compassion may start wafting into your being. Okay, maybe you still feel like a total dork. But find solace in your maturity. Because it takes courage to look your life squarely in the eye and admit your humanity. Humility clears the path to higher knowing…or a good laugh.
