Course Description

Have you been dreaming of living one kind of life, but feel stuck living another?


I get it. I used to be in those shoes, and I didn't like it.

For more than a decade, I worked in jobs that I didn't necessarily dislike, but that did little to fulfill me. There was always something more that I wanted.

  • The freedom to travel the world instead of being trapped by only two weeks of vacation time each year.
  • The flexibility to function on a schedule that made sense for my life, body and soul rather than being driven by the clock.
  • The ability to move mountains instead of push paper.
  • The basic right to sit in the sun and breathe fresh air rather than being shackled to a fluorescent-lit cubicle while inhaling artificially conditioned air.
  • The space to creatively explore all of my ideas instead of merely going through the motions of checking tasks off a list.

Does any of this sound familiar?

After deciding that this was no way to experience life, I made a change, and today I am living the life I always dreamed about. Instead of scarcity, fatigue and stress, I now have freedom, flexibility and abundant joy.


No matter your goal, I want you to experience that same joy.


Maybe you...

  • ... like what you do, but you just don't like where or how you do it.
  • ... want to do something totally different with your life…something you've dreamed about for a long time.
  • ... want to be self-employed and have more flexibility about where and how you work.
  • ... want to go after a promotion or change industries.
  • ... simply want to make more money than you do today.
  • ... have a desire to create.
  • ... want more time with your family, or time to travel and see the world.


See, it doesn't matter whether your goal is about a more fulfilling career, a change in your work-life balance, or if it's about anything else. A desire to have something more in your life than you have today is the only pre-requisite here.

And you don't even need to know what that "something" is right now--just that it's different from wherever you are or whatever you have today. We'll figure the rest out together.


Create your dream life now.


The Get Going Head Start is a five-day course based on the method I have developed and refined over the past ten years of working with my clients. In it, I'll teach you how to GET GOING in the direction of your dreams.

In this course, you receive a selection of pages from my Get Going Toolkit--the same workbook used in my Get Going Masterclass--a fully downloadable + printable workbook full of my own personal collection of essential tools that I used to transform my own life and continue to use with my clients everyday, including:
  • Reflection worksheets so that you can fully take stock of where you are right at this moment
  • Exercises to explore where you want to go
  • Planning tools to help you chart your path
  • A checklist to avoid the top 10 pitfalls that seek to throw you off course (BTW--#7 is the one that trips up even the most high-performing go-getters!)
  • So, so, so much more!


It's time to live life with purpose.
It's time to jump out of bed each day ready to embrace
all of the goodness in store, and it's time for reveling in abundant joy!


Using the tools you will learn in this course, you can expect to:

  • Gain clarity about where you are today, and where you want to go
  • Discover what would make a true difference in your life, and make goals that will actually help to get you there
  • Create accountability through planning tools that go so much deeper than making to-do lists
  • Learn about the ways you might inadvertently undermine your progress toward goals, and make changes now to avoid these mistakes



This course is for people who are truly serious about changing their life.


I'm going to give you the tools. There are a few things you need to bring to the table, too.

  1. A desire for things to be different in your life. If you are serious about wanting a change, then also be serious about making a change. This means it's time to reduce any clutter in your environment, life and relationships that stands in the way of your forward progress.
  2. The willingness to try. Sometimes, this will happen in the form of experimenting with new ways of doing things and being open to failing. But it also means digging deep and getting honest. You may need to challenge yourself or face a truth that you prefer to avoid or deny. Have the courage to do what may be uncomfortable because it is essential to your growth.
  3. Commitment. Does this mean that you will never make a mistake or veer from your path? Heck no. But, when you are committed, it means that you are willing to get up and get going, even if you stumble.


If you're ready to live with purpose and passion,

it's time to get started.

FAQs
Q: How much time do I need for this course?
A: The course lasts five days, however, you can go at a speed that works for you. You'll have access to the course for 14 days to give you plenty of time to complete the modules.

There is "homework" each day that you should plan to set aside time to complete. How much time you'll need really depends on what you hope to accomplish, and how much you want to invest in the process of self-discovery. As with anything in life, you get what you give! At minimum, plan to gift yourself an hour per day to work through the exercises.

Q: How is this course different from the Get Going Masterclass?
A: This course is an introductory version of the foundational tools we use in my 6-week masterclass. I offer it for two reasons. First, I believe that coaching should be accessible to everyone. And, not everyone is ready to invest their time or effort into a six-week masterclass. Also, not everyone is looking to make significant changes in their lives. This course is a way for you to start from wherever you are right now.

Second, I believe that the world would be a much better place if everyone was living with purpose and passion. If this mini-course can help bring you new awareness into what brings you alive, it has served its purpose. If you decide that you want to expand on that awareness and make bigger changes, the masterclass will dig deeper and go further as you work toward your dream life and goals.

Q: Why should I believe that you have all the answers? What makes you the expert?
A: I most certainly do not have all the answers. No one does. What I offer in this course is a collection of tools that I used to transform my own life, and continue to use with my clients today. I believe in this method because I see the results in my clients' lives year after year--but that doesn't mean I don't continue to improve. When you enroll in this course, you are joining a community of people who believe in their ability to create something in this world. I not only welcome, but encourage, feedback because it helps me to refine my methods and improve the content I am able to offer.
