TOP TEN REASONS WHY WORSHOPS WORK FOR WOMEN^TM

We are fast approaching the New Year, and most of us women have at least a few goals in mind for 2005. Every year we resolve to do better - to finally finish that project, lose that weight, make more sales, or clean that closet. A few weeks into the New Year and we get off track. Then guilt and discouragement creep in. Here we are at the start of a brand new year, many of us still stuck, wondering how we will find the resolve, personal power, motivation, or whatever it takes, to make it really happen this year.

Many of the women I have worked with over the years admit they lose confidence and feel defeated as resolutions fall by the wayside. They feel as if they have failed again. But others brag that they have been able to stick to their guns, blast through the barricades and claim victory at last! What is the difference?/P>

Choose Change

Women who succeed make different choices. They "choose change". They choose to change their routine and step out of their comfort zone. They choose to make a solid commitment and utilize available resources. These women have discovered the empowerment and personal growth inherent in women's workshops and seminars. They no longer make resolutions in secret, go about their daily tasks in isolation, or depend on their own power to pull them through. They decide what they want, struggle through the difficulties, and celebrate success, all with a little help from like-minded friends.

Do you really desire change this year?
Do you want to finally feel successful and to accomplish your goals?
If so, "Choose Change"™ workshops for women can work for you.

Ten reasons why workshops work for women who desire personal change:

• Women's workshops enlist expert facilitators to provide new ideas and teach new skills and strategies to help accomplish your goals.



• "Choose Change"™ Workshops offer follow-up teleclasses for those who want ongoing support and accountability.



• Women's workshops help us identify personal blocks that sabotage change.



• Women attending workshops provide support, encouragement and accountability for each other.



• Women's Workshops provide an environment conducive to change.



• Groups of like-minded women share their wisdom and expertise. We can learn from each other!



• Women in isolation tend to feel guilty when they stumble, and then get down on themselves, rather than focusing ahead and moving forward. Friends help us get refocused and move forward.



• Women remind each other to take emotional, physical and spiritual care of self-first, so we have what it takes to care for others when we need to.



• Women provide honest, clear feedback to help us eliminate habits or behaviors that are self-defeating and interfere with success.



• And last but not least: Women like to have fun with girlfriends!
