Creating The Life You Want

Creating The Life You Want is a workshop . . . and a lifestyle. The reflective, interactive series was created in 2002 to help a group of former colleagues move beyond a lay-off to find a new life. It has evolved into an 8-module series designed for those who:

• have never spent time considering what they want out of their life because they’ve been busy focused on others.
• are in a profession or job that is increasingly dissatisfying.
• are leading a "successful" but not significant life.
• feel like they are living occasionally in quiet desperation.
• want more out of their life.
• would like to create clearer intention about their future.

Facilitated by Paul with Tonia McConnell, Creating The Life You Want touches our hearts and rocks our world! In it we get to work with an intimate group of people to identify and clarify their:

• Readiness for change
• Personality assets and liabilities for the journey
• Values
• Boundaries
• Mission
• Vision
• Goals and plans
• Journey after the workshop

But Creating The Life You Want is more than a workshop. While it begins like many workshops with a weekend at the beautiful Oregon coast, and continues back in the Portland Metro area with four evening sessions, the real evolution has been in the people who continue to meet and work on their personal life map. Some questions change our lives forever and these dedicated, talented people have discovered that living by their values and getting support to move toward their mission and vision takes time and work and a group of people to help them on the way. In 2007 Creating The Life You Want progressed to a new level with a weekend refresher at the coast. Slated as an annual event in June, our intention is to continue to connect people and their dreams.
