Wealth is a complex concept, and your personal relationship with money may be complicated. In many families, money is a taboo topic. Talk of money may bring up a range of complicated feelings – anxiety, embarrassment, guilt, envy, insecurity or even shame. It may also call into question what money means to you, and your understanding of its significance may be intertwined with deeply held perceptions about love, control, independence, accomplishment, identity, self-esteem and self-worth. Relating to money is just as important as relating to the people you care about. It requires time and effort to understand its implications and to find the proper place for it in your life. Money management habits tend to fit into five financial personality categories. Spenders believe money is meant for spending. Sometimes they spend more money than they should, or live above their means because they get caught up in the moment or see something they absolutely have to have. Savers love to get a good deal. Often, savers are less focused on material possessions.

Whether you are starting a business or expanding one, your clarity of vision is important but there is another key ingredient that if not properly defined and implemented hinders your progress. That ingredient is your Focus. Focus impacts everything you do-your relationships with clients and employees, messaging and service offering, and delivery of your products and services.

“Is Your Magic Your Focus?” discusses focus, the key building block that answers the “why” and “what” questions so important to your clients and employees. Clarity of focus and the ability to articulate your focus are key for success.

This presentation discusses the key components for defining and refining your focus, the impact of focus on all aspects of your business, and the importance of communicating focus to employees as well as clients. Walk away with at least one idea that you can implement immediately in your business.

Surrendering is about letting go of the need to control and to allow divine guidance to come through in your life. Surrendering allows you can achieve more by doing less. And it helps you get out of your own way. Because what the universe has in store for you is far greater than what you can ever plan for yourself. Specifically, you will learn how the practice of Surrender can help you “build & bloom” beyond your wildest dreams with grace and ease, in two areas: Your Earning Potential and Goal Setting.

This session explores how you can stand out in the crowd and uncover different approaches to feeling expressed in a way that is authentic, compelling, and memorable. Attendees will learn how to boost their natural confidence, shed limiting beliefs around being a leader and expert, and how to leverage their personal strengths for long-term effects. Discover tools to release social anxiety when talking in a group or a one on one setting. You’ll identify key ways to be more candid in conversations and listen more intently. You'll also realize how to stop second guessing what you want to say and be ready to voice what you do in a way that doesn’t feel like a rehearsed elevator pitch or staged conversation. Walk away with the ability to be more present and engaging in networking and business events as well as embody amplified levels of self-assurance.
