Show up and be present by:

  • Being honest with yourself and with your Facilitator to help you achieve the best results
  • Taking Notes: Come to each session with your journal or notebook ready to take notes. Sometimes we will work through exercises or tools that need to be written down. Your notes serve as a record of what we cover and will help you to notice themes and patterns emerge over time, give you reasons to celebrate and see how much progress you’ve made.
  • Being Prepared: Come to each session ready to work toward a specific outcome. If necessary, take a few moments to clear your mind and get centered before your session and ensure you’re in a place with no distractions. We will spend the first few minutes to get clear on what we will aim to achieve by the end of the session.
  • Keeping Your Commitments: Hold yourself to high standards and take the action that you committed to yourself or your Facilitator. The fastest route to your success and fulfillment is consistent, meaningful action.
  • Accepting Accountability: Show up and/or connect on Zoom at the designated time.
