TELECONFERENCE GROUP

“Our truest life is when we are in our dreams awake ” 
— Henry David Thoreau

The main focus of this group is for us each to discover our dream life, our deepest purpose, and to live it without reservation. The work you do here is likely to change your life, whether that be your career, relationship, residence or all three!  We will also support you with creating this transition as graceful experience for everyone concerned.

Who is this Group for?  It is for anyone who wants to change their life, or bring their current life up to a higher level of success and fulfillment.  It is about being consistently inspired and motivated, so that your heartfelt dreams really can come true.

In this mastermind group, you get the feedback and support of all the group members plus the expertise of a life coach. In fact, all the participants will get some training in life coaching as well. What is life coaching?  In short it is communicating with others in a way that empowers them to live their greater potential. Rather than giving advice, a life coach is skilled at asking powerful questions that help a person get to their deepest truth, their source of inspiration that moves them to achieve their heartfelt goals. We hold the vision of each person as being creative, resourceful, and whole; as having having everything it takes to overcome their challenges and win an awesome life. We all just need to be reminded and supported on a consistent basis.

We find that the two top reasons that people don’t succeed with their goals, is that they do not get enough consistent support from others, and they don’t stay consistently inspired. Thus a main purpose of our group is to keep you supported in your inspiration as you discover, launch, and implement your new life vision.

We have broken the life changing process down into five stages:

Stage 1: Imagination, Inspiration and Clarity  

We do the inner work of merging with our Soul’s calling. We will practice various methods that attune us with our inner treasures and deepest sense of purpose. This will include a guided visualization in which you meet your Future Self and create a Vision Board. Out of this stage, you will have better discovered your vision, your dream life.

Stage 2: Building Trust and Confidence

This stage involves methods of solidifying your vision so that you feel strong about your ability to succeed. You will be affirming, owning, and celebrating your vision through Mindmapping, writing a Living Vision, and other fun exercises.

Stage 3: Planning and Committing 

We brainstorm a plan of action, set reasonable goals, and commit to them. Actually, better than a "plan", you get to create your own success game so that tracking your forward process can be fun, and you get to be rewarded frequently!

Stage 4: Defining Your Needs and requesting your resources and support

Getting fully supported can be challenging for many of us. You have come this far to realize your passionate purpose; thus as your supporting peers, we are committed to not allowing you to sell yourself short.  You will request the people, information, infrastructure, training and development that you need to fully realize your vision.

Stage 5: Sustained Inspired Action  (Your natural being in action)

We will focus on learning the skill of being inspired by our actions.

This may include some radical honesty about your habits. Our current lives are the result of our past habits. To change your life, certain habits will have to change, and this requires the great attention and support. We all have this challenge, and thus the support of a group is invaluable.

We will move through these stages together over a course of 3 months.  Different  participants may need more or less time at various stages.  This is fine as each person’s unique timing is honored.  Each 90 minute meeting is structured so that there is plenty of time to check in and be supported with what you are uniquely going through.

Logistics:
Three to six participants meet by telephone conference call once a week for 90 minutes, facilitated by Joa for 3 months. Afterwards, group consensus determines whether they decide to conclude their connection, continue meeting without a facilitator, or re-hire Joa for more facilitated meetings.

If you are interested in joining this group, the first step to see if we are the right match, is to receive 30 minutes of coaching from Joa - complimentary. Before the session, Joa would like you to ponder these questions: 

What are two important dreams that you have that (if fulfilled) would dramatically affect your life for the better? What two areas in your life would you like a major breakthrough?

After your coaching session, if you feel that you would like to continue working with Joa and the group, you will be given a contract to sign and asked for a $125 deposit, which will pay for your first month of meetings. The price is $125 per month for four weekly sessions.  All but $25 is refundable up to the day preceeding our second week meeting.

Once you pay the deposit, Joa will e-mail you a questionnaire. The answered questionnaire can be sent back by e-mail or mail. We will use this information in our meetings. The deposit, contract, and questionnaire are all due one week before our start date, but it is advised that you have your complimentary coaching session and pay your deposit ASAP because this small group tends to fill quickly on a first come first serve basis.

Agreements:

To co-create a mastermind group that "rocks!", Joa is looking for participants who are willing to whole heartedly aggree to these five principles. Please print them up and read them carefully.

1. Confidentiality:

In order to create a safe and intimate space for growth and learning, everyone is asked to respect each other's right to privacy by not sharing any personal information outside of our meetings.

2. No one gets to be wrong.

This means holding an attitude that all our viewpoints can co-exist simultaneously to integrate a greater understanding. This attitude erases the need to argue.

3. Holding a Positive Focus:

This does not mean that one has to always say positive things, but that one's underlying motive is positive. On this note, I request participates to join me with praising the others for each step they make towards living a more fulfilling life.  We practice seeing the best in each other, especially when a person can't see it in themselves.

4. Accountability

As participants, we hold each other accountable to do what we say. This starts with participants keeping their agreements to attend meetings, complete homework assignments, and stay connected via e-mails and phone calls.

No one is condemned for lack of follow through, but each slip is addressed and used for gaining greater awareness and strengthening one's commitment.

5. Compassionate Honesty

Life transformation begins with compassionate honesty. Our focus is to be courageous enough to tell the truth about our uncomfortable weaknesses as they surface along our journey toward greater success and fulfillment. Compassionate understanding allows those parts of ourselves we tend to judge to soften and loosen their hold on us.

6. Commitment

Living Your Dreams is not just a group to get support from. You get what you give into it. Your life will change through your rigorous practice to change your thoughts and actions into complete alignment with your heartfelt dreams. Like acquiring a skill at anything, it takes consistency of focus and follow through.

Prerequisite Activity

FAQ

Q: Is my unique focus going to be congruent with the group focus?

A: It turns out that our group usually works beautifully for anyone regardless of their focus: whether that be changing one’s career, attracting a loving relationship, losing weight or improving one’s health—as long as each participant is at the beginning stages of change. On the other hand, when every participant is in the group for the same reason, they all tend to be in the dark about similar issues. But when each of the attendees are in the group for different reasons, one person’s weakness is often another person’s strength. As human beings with the same general needs for health, loving relationships and passionate careers, we are all dealing with the same core issues—just in different timing in our lives, thus it works out that a natural cross mentorship occurs. For example, one person has been single for years but her career is very strong. Another person has an awesome relationship with her husband, but after raising a child doesn't’t know where to begin in her career. Each of these people will have much to offer one another.

Q: Will this group offer me technical expertise in my field?

A: You may get “lucky”, and many do feel fortunate with who they attract to meet with. But officially this is not a business peer support group. Those groups can be expensive, but helpful—technically speaking. Rather than offer you a great deal of technical information, whether that be marketing a business or diagnosing a health issue, we are primarily reading your energy and supporting you energetically to birth your inner dreams into outer reality. Whatever your focus is, the manifestation process is essentially the same. We begin with a right brain approach to insure that whatever you are starting comes from your core and that your natural creativity is activated.

For those with the career focus, it may lead to starting a business. Once that business is actually in the starting stages, many still stay in this group because the insight and emotional support from friends is still very helpful, but they will certainly need additional technical support in their field. Another thing we do that technical experts don’t, is hold you accountable to follow through with your vision, week to week.

We find that the most challenging obstacles that hold people back from living their dreams are their inner obstacles. Clearing inner obstacles is our specialty. We help you see them and clear them. For example, in many cases, the issue is not a shortage of information, but the ability to process all the information one has, to make sense of it all and thus become clear about one’s next steps. This is what our group is good at. We help people move from feeling overwhelmed to moving forward on their purpose with steady, inspired action.
