Event description

As human beings we each have multifaceted personalities, and as entrepreneurs the challenge is getting each facet to shine in a way that helps our work flourish. This event offers a lighthearted but highly useful encounter with some of the "inner selves" that can help or hinder your business. Come meet "The Pusher," "The Pleaser," "Inner Entrepreneur," and "Procrastinator," to name just a few, and find out how to balance them more creatively and effectively in your business and your life.

When you get up in the morning and focus on your goals for today, do you ever stop to think what part of yourself are you bringing to work with you? Is your inner entrepreneur present and ready to get going on what it takes to succeed? Or, do you find yourself procrastinating, doing the least important things first, putting off the big steps you know you need to take?

And, if your business is booming, do you have an off switch for the parts of you that are totally focused on success? Can you get away from work, spend time with your partner, your children, or just enjoy yourself? Are you able to let go of the business and create a healthy balance of work and play, responsibility and self care?

These questions highlight some of the different parts of our personalities that can be really helpful (yes, even the procrastinator) when they're in balance. It's no fun, though, when we get stuck in one gear and can't seem to shift gracefully and appropriately into other modes of operation.

At this event we'll introduce you to a process called Voice Dialogue that makes it easy to get to know some of your inner selves and use them to better advantage in your business. We'll start by introducing ourselves to each other - saying what we do and also who we suspect might be running our business. Which selves we focus on during our hour and a half together will depend on your interests and those of the whole group. We'll demonstrate what it's like to talk with these different selves, and give you some fun exercises for creating balance on your own.

Come join us for an hour and a half of discovery - come away with new insight and tools for greater work/life balance, and new energy for you and your business.

(Mosaic Coffeehouse serves soup and quiche as well as coffee and baked goods - they even have some gluten-free items :))

    This is a great event! I attended the one Miriam and Cassandra hosted yesterday and found the process of Voice Dialogue fascinating as demonstrated by them. I now have a better understanding, awareness, and acceptance of my "inner selves". This new found information will be immensely helpful in both my business and personal relationships.

    Miriam!

    So great to see you on Biznik! I wouldn't have found you if you hadn't been hosting an event. As you can see, I will be there -- still a BIG fan of Voice Dialogue.

    See you Wednesday 1pm

    Warmly, Charlotte House
