FOCUS: HEROIC LIVING WORKSHOPS focus the dynamics of living herocially, and an introduction to the Four Keys to Heroic Living.
DEFINITION: Heroic Living involves "facing your challenges in ways that benefit everyone - yourself, others, and the world."
THE FOUR KEYS TO HEROIC LIVING
(1) DISCOVERING and HONORING your LIFE PASSION – the center of your personal energy, the unique gift you have to give to others, the thing you most enjoy about being alive
(2) WELCOMING THE HELP OF YOUR MONSTERS (Allies or Helpers) – the things that bother you are “do violence” to your spirit
(3) SHARING YOUR VISION of the Changes You would like to See With Others
(4) TAKING SPIRITUAL ACTION – shifting energy - promoting healing - producing genuine spiritual change in your worlds
FOCUS: The focus of HEROIC LEADERSHIP TRAINING is on the development of a "Heroic Mindset" within your group or organization. This training helps people learn different ways to transform negative energy into positive results.
DEFINITION: I define a HEROIC MINDEST as the "willingness to JOURNEY INTO NEW TERRITORY facing your challenges in ways that benefit everybody.
