“Interesting, insightful, and a gift to yourself to set aside that time to think about you and choices, habits, desires, and fulfillment.”

—Deborah Kimbell, Media Consultant, Tunbridge, VT

What would it mean to you to be Fearless and Fabulous?

  • Stronger in Body & Spirit?
  • Clarity of Vision for Your Future?
  • Commitment to Seeing Your Dreams Made Real?
  • Greater Satisfaction in How You Spend Your Time?

Deep down most of us wish for something greater than what you currently have and do. We all feel the conflicting push and pull between doing what we want and fulfilling the expectations and needs of others. It sometimes seems that once-held dreams are too remote a memory to drag into the “now.”

Do you want to uncover or rediscover your confidence and excitement, as you create a life that embodies your passionate beliefs and dreams?

Are You a Fearless, Fabulous Female? Do you want to be?

I coach women who are ready to live fearlessly and fabulously, confident and comfortable in their own skin. Through a series of Dynamic Explorations™ that unearth long-held desires and fears, together we build a foundation to support a future filled with renewed excitement, focus, and fun.

  • What do you wish you could do tomorrow instead of whatever is already committed in your day planner?
  • What is it that you want more time to explore?
  • What is your legacy to your family, your community, our planet?
  • When are you going to pursue your dream(s)?
  • Do you need a bright light, a clear mirror, and a kick in the pants?

Is Time Running Out?

Over the past couple of years, my world was turned upside down through a series of relationship, housing, and employment changes. Last June, I turned 45…not old exactly, but what I refer to as “half-cooked.”

For so long, I'd had a vision of what I wanted my life to be like. But family responsibilities, a long commute, a stressful job, juggling living in two places, owning dogs in an urban setting, home ownership as a single person…all of it seemed to take up every valuable minute and zap any energy or excitement to direct to learning and trying new things. I wasn't exactly unhappy, but I knew time was slipping away and I wasn't living the life I wanted.

Fast forward to this year. I live on 18 wooded acres. I plan my own schedule. I am building online learning communities. I am teaching others new life and business skills in order to be successful on their own terms. I am writing a book. I am running two successful businesses: the first coaching and writing; the second with my husband Roger providing marketing, strategy, and business development services. I spend more time trying new recipes, watching movies, reading books, and making a difference on behalf of the causes we care about. I take more and longer walks with my dogs. I am fully exploring our new home and neighborhood. I'm learning how to do new things—and more about myself—every day.

All of this is true today, because I took the time to take stock and determine how I wanted Part II of my life to play out. I decided it should be filled with a whole lot more fun and packed with large doses of fulfillment.

How can your future be better than the present?

I choose to face the rest of my life being…Fearless & Fabulous! This is not tongue in cheek; I realize that the time is now to experience the many things I've been wanting for years. So, I've made numerous changes—some small, some more significant—to create an environment that will allow me to do what I want. My “wants” are becoming reality. I can't say that everything is running exactly the way I would like all of the time, or that I don't have to work hard sometimes to stay on track. However, I'm happier and making greater progress toward achieving what I want now than during any other time in my life.

In the past 12 months, I've sold my house and moved to a new home, left a secure and “safe” job to return to solopreneurship with a much bigger plan, and last fall I got married again. So, I think I can speak a bit from experience. But that's not the point. Truly, my goal is to serve as your coach to help you succeed at your dreams in your way. The path to feeling Fearless & Fabulous isn't as difficult as it seems.

“Working with a coach, in groups and in one-on-one phone calls, the FFP encourages you to put to paper your dreams and desires; helps you to face your fears; and supports you in making changes in your life.”

—Lynda Merriam, Administrative Assistant, Wilder, VT

Want to Try Something New?

My greatest desire is to help others eliminate the feeling of helplessness and doubt about how life will ever change and get better. I especially want to help shake the cobwebs out of the hair of those who plan to “get around” to projects and passions “some day”…there is no better time than now to move forward.

I'm passionate about offering this program to support people like you and me who crave more and want to succeed at filling our lives with fun and fulfillment.

I want to help you make sense of the seemingly disparate pieces of your world, so you can pursue the rest of your life with focused passion.

If you want to get philosophical about it all, what exactly do you want your life to be all about anyway?

Do you want to rediscover who you are at the core?

The Fearless and Fabulous Project

I invite you to be my partner and to participate in my Fearless & Fabulous Project: Creative Discovery & Reinvention for twelve weeks—offered next from early July through September 2007. In group coaching over the phone via a bridge line (it works like a conference call that can accommodate many people at once), I will take you and others through a series of Dynamic Explorations™ to help you identify what you want, eliminate the noise and obstacles that get in your way, and focus on achieving measurable progress towards your goals…or even a brand new direction.

“Not so fast,” I can hear you say. “Are you saying I can simply decide to be fearless and fabulous and expect that all of my challenges will vanish?” Of course not, but it sure is easier with support. It takes commitment to make small changes in attitude and action at first. But those very first steps will help to create a sense of momentum. Then it becomes easier and leads to genuine joy. It's worked and continues to work for me, and I want to help others to do the same.

Some questions to get your Fearless, Fabulous juices flowing…

  • If you were to FULLY live your life, what is the first change you would make?
  • What do you want MORE of in your life?
  • What do you want LESS of in your life?
  • What are three things you are doing regularly that don't serve or support you?
  • What would you try now if you knew you could not fail?
  • Do you need a bright light, a clear mirror, or a kick in the pants?

How It Works

Coaching provides a structure for moving from where you are now to where you want to be. It's that simple. As a coach I provide undivided attention, serve as your sounding board, and provide perspective and accountability. You can expect that I will be spontaneous, go with the flow, be sometimes funny and irreverent, and also patient and gentle as needed. What I promise is that I will listen to you very carefully to help you hear what it is that calls to you. If you're present and open to what happens, the insights can be pretty profound and you can achieve success simply from taking small actions consistently, always in the direction of your sense of what it would be to be fearless and fabulous.

In our group calls (everyone participating together), I will provide an overview of a different topic each week. Together we will discuss how that topic relates to our current lives and what we might like to do. We'll also talk about progress or accomplishments since the previous call. There is no need to ever disclose anything that would make you feel uncomfortable—remember this is about fun and fulfillment, not fear…although we will discuss that tricky beast. Having others available to offer insights and suggestions can be very helpful. In our private conversations, we may review the material more deeply or work on a different topic.

“Wonderful positive & affirming life assessment/change program for women in midlife. Excellent coach and structure (audioconference, forum, etc).”

—Pam Vernon, Realtor, Quechee, VT

What You'll Get From Me:

  • Twelve 75-minute group coaching calls (once per week over three months) via a bridge line on all areas that relate to you becoming more Fearless and Fabulous.
  • Downloadable Modules to track and keep your notes organized for each class.
  • Copy of the Dynamic Explorations™ Workbook and other tools to support your personal discovery process.
  • Opportunity for brief, scheduled “Laser Coaching” sessions once per month. I want you to have my personal support throughout the program. You can use the time to further explore material from the group calls, or pursue a special project.
  • Participation in our online Fearless, Fabulous Forum. Here you can tap a wealth of resources to assist you on your journey of discovery. Check out the Question of the Week. You can also network and connect with fellow group participants. Ask for support; offer your advice and wisdom to others. The more you participate in all that is at your disposal, the more you will get out of the experience.
  • Email and forum support from me to clarify key points, provide quick and focused pep talks, and offer additional resources as needed.

What I Need from You:

A commitment of 12 weeks to spend thinking about your life, your hopes and dreams, and how you might achieve your greatest desires now and long-term (oh, and more than a few laughs along the way). I'll need you to sometimes do a bit of reading, fill out some worksheets, come to all coaching calls with attention and purpose, evaluate the materials we use during the process, and fulfill the commitments you make to the group and yourself as we proceed. You can make this as big, as simple, or as grand as you choose; my only requirement is that you take the process and yourself seriously.

“Instead of thinking that ticking inside you're hearing is a bomb, this work helps you reveal what's making you tick, why you act/think as you do, and what there is to celebrate about YOU. It really is all about you!”

—Sandy Adams, Communications Director, Norwich, VT

Specifically, You'll Need to:

  • Participate in twelve 75-minute group-coaching calls on Tuesdays or Wednesdays (there will be four sessions from which to choose; first select, first served)
  • Plan for and get maximum value from our monthly “Laser Coaching” sessions.
  • Fully participate in coaching sessions, pre-work and homework, and evaluation of the process.
  • Want the best for your fellow Fearless, Fabulous Project participants, and help them when you hear the opportunity and know you have something to share.

Group coaching will begin Tuesday, July 10 AND Wednesday, July 11 (you will be in one of four groups). Exact dates and times of calls available at sign-up.

Who do you know who would be served by participation in this opportunity? Think about asking a friend or colleague to join you on this personal adventure. There can be tremendous power and support in the accountability offered by working in pairs or small groups. It is also why the group-coaching model is so successful. No matter which approach you choose, confidentiality is a must to be agreed upon at the start.

“The class discussion helped very much. It clarified any questions, plus it often helped me to tap into other perspectives or things I had forgotten or not known about myself.”
