Crash Course for a Resilient Life

How do you live from your vision each day, when our physical reality is changing so rapidly?

We all long to make a difference in this world. You probably have a vision for what you want to be known for when all is said and done. But how do you continue to show up with a generosity of spirit when our reality is changing frighteningly fast. How do you tap into your creativity when faced with grief and confusion?

Resilience (noun): “the power or ability to return to the original form, position, etc., after being bent, compressed, or stretched”

As coaches we know that cultivating resilience and creating results amidst intense, uncertain change is a skill that can be developed with the right support. Join us over 7 weeks as we share skills and tools for you to be joyous, focused and resilient, especially when you’re up to really important work during times of great change.  If you’re ready to create new, exciting outcomes in life with less struggle and more ease, this book study may be for you! 

“Inside the chaos, build a temple of love.” -Rune Lazuli

We’re offering this study to give you foundational coaching principles to create a life of meaning, contribution and joy. In it, you’ll learn simple, game-changing tools that will help you focus your energy on what is most meaningful to you consistently, with greater ease. 

Who we are & why are we offering this course:

Hey, we are Greg and Daniel! We are two certified coaches who have spent our lives grappling with the largest issues of our generation, such as climate change, racism, and profound inequity.  

We came of age in a time of great turmoil and uncertainty, and we’ve struggled many times to find a way to hold hope when things seemed hopeless.  As creative people we found refuge in music, art, and activism but we were both seeking more.

How we became friends

We first became friends in a holding cell in Westborough, MA after participating in a non-violent direct action against a major oil pipeline.  We were both seeking a way to be engaged in climate justice organizing for the long haul without burning out. We both found transformative tools to make our impact in the world through our training in coaching at the Academy for Coaching Excellence. Now we want to share those tools with you! 

The tools that we learned through our extensive training at the Academy have transformed each of our lives, and it is our mission to share them with folks who are striving to make a great impact on the front lines of our changing society.

There are 6 forms of energy we use in this world to make our goals and dreams happen: Time, Money, Creativity, Physical Vitality, Relationship, and Enjoyment.  In this study you will learn to use these forms of energy masterfully, so that you’re doing more of what you want to be doing in life 

This is why we are coming together to offer these foundational tools in a 7-week, online, low cost format.  We know folks are busy, and resources are often limited, and we don’t want anyone to be left out from this treasure-box of extraordinary tools. 

In this 7-week study, you’ll learn:

• To “clear the crud” that’s getting in the way of the work you’re here to do

• A way of tapping into your inner courage, creativity, and resilience, when challenges feel overwhelming

• A method for moving past limiting beliefs and mindsets to open up new possibilities for progress even under new limitations in physical reality

• How to use 6 forms of energy as fuel to make your goals happen, with greater enjoyment and less worry

• A way to relate to your doubts and worries where they no longer stop you from taking action in life 

• How to relate to other people in times of stress that bring out their best empower them to calm down and be themselves without working hard

• A method of taking action consistently with at least 40% more ease

This may be for you if you...

• Want to pursue personal growth and empowerment while stuck at home

• Are stressed about how to make the difference you’re here to make, and want simple tools to stay centered on your vision and mission in life no matter the external circumstances 

• You’ve seen a little of what Daniel and Greg are up to and would really love to get a taste of what we have to offer, without committing to a longer program

• Are interested in a coaching group or 1-on-1 coaching and you want a leg up to maximize your experience

• Are an activist or community leader who wants to show up to this tumultuous moment in a creative and strategic way

• You’re alright with the idea of life getting a little bit easier, even while observing social distancing and navigating new challenges.
  

Ok, but what are we actually going to do together? 

During our 7 sessions together we will be reading Mastering Life’s Energies, a book by Maria Nemeth. Maria is a personal mentor and an inspiration to both of us!  As we read the book, we will train you on simple principles, tools and practices you can begin using right away in your life. We ask that you commit to attending all 7 sessions, and purchasing and reading the book along with us if you join this program. We are experienced coaches and trainers in this work, and we’ll show you how to put the tools in this book into action in your life.

What is the book?

Mastering Life’s Energies by Maria Nemeth clearly articulates the core tools and principles of our coaching model.  This incredible book is filled with principles and tools that have changed thousands of lives. It contains the foundations of the coaching model we use with artists, change-makers, educators, organizers and more. By studying the book with us, we’ll help you implement what you’re learning, so you can apply the tools in your life and produce great results. There is nothing “mystical” in this book. Just a real-life, practical, approach. Mastering Life’s Energies is grounded in principles found across spiritual and secular traditions, from ancient wisdom teachings to the latest research in neuroscience.  During this study we will cover the entire book, and ask that you read it along with us between sessions. Purchase online or at your favorite local bookstore!
