Introducing:
The Art of Self-Transformation
For the past few years, I’ve been inspired to write, speak, and teach about personal paradigms and transformation. I believe that most people who want an important transformation in their lives take approaches that are sub-optimal. They have listened to advice about what they should or should not do to transform, and, more often than not, these measures don’t really help. The actions suggested may ameliorate symptoms or temporarily cause a change, but unless these efforts produce enduring results, it’s not useful. This occurs because when someone tries to transform themselves, often the causes of their difficulty are deeply entrenched into their thinking and a fundamental blindspot, unavailable to that person. Problems are often knotty, complex, and seemingly intractable and the strategies people use often don’t get at the fundamental issue.
To address this, I’m offering an online workshop to the public on the art of self-transformation. The goal of the Art of Self-Transformation Workshop is to support you in your own personal transformation such that you will leave having truly experienced a transformation in your life. And not just any transformation, but the one you seek.
The Art of Self-Transformation Difference
In my experience, many other personal transformation workshops begin with a particular point of view about the end state. They apply a process, and participants may benefit with something that resembles transformation. But many do not, since participants all arrive with differing goals, desired outcomes, and existing paradigms.
This workshop is unique. It is designed to elucidate what I believe are the fundamental principles and mindsets needed to transform one’s own personal paradigms, and to help participants put those principles into practice. In this workshop, I’ll share my understanding of personal paradigms— how they form and get solidified, how to approach personal paradigm change, and the steps necessary to produce success.
How it Works
The workshop begins with foundational principles and then helps you apply these principles in your life. It is supported by a group of coaches who have been trained by me in the Art of Transformational Coaching. These coaches will be your guides. During the workshop, there will be roughly one guide present for every two participants. Together, we are the team that is there to support you.
Although there is a team supporting you, no mistake about it, it is a journey with yourself, by yourself. By participating, you will be required to do the work yourself. You will not be pushed or challenged. Instead, you will be responsible for your effort. Between sessions, you will be asked to do some reading, some, and watch roughly 45 minutes of video content. If you follow the guidance and are assiduous in your approach, the result will likely be a meaningful and enduring transformation—not the one that I seek for you, but the one you seek for yourself.
As a result of the workshop, you will:
Have a clear understanding of the nature of your own personal paradigms, how they form, how they solidify, and how to change them
Have experienced a clear 7-step model for how to guide yourself through a transformation
Have a meaningful transformation in some important part of your life or, be close enough that you will know what to do to complete and sustain your transformational journey.
