The Working with Power™ 1-Day Event:
Twice the Results, Half the Stress

How many times have you thought:

• "I just need to work harder!”
• “These people just need to get on the ball!”
• “Everything will be better after I ____ (you name it: go on vacation, change companies, or even change careers)!”

Don’t we all tend to think that being more powerful means pushing harder? But the bottom line is that if you’re already really good at driving and focus and pragmatism and self-reliance, and there’s still aren’t satisfied with your productivity, leadership, personal and professional relationships, or your sense of satisfaction and fun in life, more of the same will not help.

Your “make it happen” skills have taken you as far as they can. To get better than you already are, what you really need is to learn to integrate the other half of your toolkit. The real secret to getting more results (with half the stress!) is to keep your “make it happen” skills, and to add in your “let it happen” power. Using both sets of skills together is how things get a whole lot easier.

If you’re already working hard, but still want so much more, the Working with Power 1-Day Event™ is an experience you can’t miss. It’s a one-day assess-and-address program that will pinpoint with surgical precision where and how you’re undermining your success in four key areas with the ineffective approaches we call Distortions of Power™. With a limited number of other business owners and professional women, you’ll learn, laugh, and connect around the challenges we all face and learn to use a set of skills that are as natural as breathing…you just forgot you can use them at work!

Unlike other trainings, this Working with Power Event is...

• Intimate and hands-on (but don’t worry: we won’t make you spill your guts or cry)
• Not a standard off-the-shelf program. Your challenges will be addressed personally throughout the day and you’ll walk away with a specific personal plan to get even more results, with half the stress
• Targeted to the specific areas of work and life you want to improve
• Focused on the unique power of women without being sappy or woo-woo

Find out why women at companies like Microsoft and T-Mobile are clamoring to attend this event (and why there is usually a waiting list). This event is offered throughout the US, and consistently receives rave reviews. The Working with Power Event™ is the single best application of your training and professional development dollars to catapult you to higher levels of professional accomplishment and personal satisfaction.

During this day, together we will reveal your strengths and liabilities each of these areas:

• Handling Pressure and Stress
• Hitting and Exceeding Your Targets
• Working with Difficult People (and not becoming one!)
• Life Outside Work (or lack thereof?)

Then, we’ll teach you to double your effectiveness in each area…with half the stress!
