Personal Development

You’re Already Fully Cooked!

“As soon as _________ happens, then I’ll be happy.” Does that pronouncement sound familiar to you? How many of us schlep through our days feeling like we won’t be “good enough” until something external from us happens to validate our lives? Sure, we’d like to be happy now, but we feel something’s missing - the magical relationship, job, house, car, education - that, once we have it, will make everything right in the world. We spend so much time focusing on what’s wrong with us that we aren’t able to enjoy the successes we do achieve or see the perfection in our lives at this moment. Guess what! You are already fully cooked! You’re done. Right now, at this moment, you already possess everything you need to be happy, feel worthy, experience your perfection. This talk will give you a 5-step process for correcting the self-defeating thinking that has trapped you, inspiring you instead to appreciate your own greatness NOW.

You CAN Become Unstoppable!

Well, this presentation will send ‘em packing! In a comfortable, experiential environment, you will befriend your gremlin, understand his purpose, and then arrive at creative solutions to build a ‘win-win’ atmosphere that sates him while it allows you to take flight. This is a very popular offering!

How to Unlock and Reveal Your Unique Gifts

If you were asked to enumerate 10 of your strengths and 10 of your weaknesses, which would be the easier list to construct? Unfortunately, for most people, it’s far easier to see our failings than it is to identify with our talents. Let’s face it . . . most of us undervalue ourselves HUGELY. Each of us has wondrous, unique gifts to offer the world, but we’ve been trained to ignore our intuition, that inner voice designed to guide us to greatness. If we’re lucky, we hear it every once in a while, but we pretty quickly dismiss it — we have learned not to give it any place of importance in our lives. This talk is designed to empower participants with self-permission to find and share their unique gifts; to invest in their personal integrity; and to intuitively align their goals and visions with their own innate possibilities.

Personal Retreats

Midwifing Your Magnificence

Bringing a dream to life is similar to conceiving, growing and delivering a child. For some, conception can take years and/or a variety of methods before succeeding. Others may conceive easily but have a nightmare of a pregnancy. Even during the birthing process, challenges occur for some, while for others, it’s a relatively easy experience. Using the metaphor of birth, Therese takes women on an experiential journey to help them define the dream living within them that wants to come to life. Offered in a safe, nurturing environment, this empowering retreat truly is a life-changing experience.

Powering Your Passions

Therese may also co-present this powerful retreat with its originator, the fabulous Mitzi Lynton. This weekend retreat (www.dare2create.com) is designed to help people identify their visions, goals, and passions — and create an environment in which to allow those passions to emerge, unfold, and thrive. Experiential elements include the releasing of mental and emotional blocks, visualization exercises, journaling, group work, meditation, and empowerment circles.
