Loving the Recession workshop (Steve Motenko, Personal Development Coach)

Loving the Recession:

The Articles and The Workshop

For those impacted by the recession -- I'm offering an exceedingly

low-cost opportunity to transform your attitude, pointing it toward hope,

by focusing on your own potential.

It's a two-hour workshop that has received effusive praise. For example:

"Steve's 'Loving the Recession Workshop' was fantastic--well conceived and superbly executed. In just two hours I felt like I had a clearer sense of what I need to do to propel my business." ~John Grant, Attorney

"Thank you for an inspiring, enlivening workshop. Your style, authenticity, and integrity all shine through. Thank you for being such a great entrepreneurs mentor." ~Elke Siller Macartney, Spiritual Advisor

"Not only are you a very polished speaker but your workshop flowed beautifully and was quite impactful. It obviously shows you have a lot of experience in this arena. I also appreciated all the audience interaction." ~Meisha Rouser, Life & Business Coach

"Steve did a masterful job of doing just what he promised, focusing us on what's important to us that can energize us regardless of what is going on in the economy. I can tell that Steve is a skillful coach who helps his clients get traction and have fun while doing so. ~Sandra Jones, Leadership Coach

This workshop, for which I'm charging a whopping $25, evolved from my article "Loving the Recession" -- the top-featured Biznik article recently -- which readers called “inspiring,” “powerful,” “wonderfully focused” and “compelling” ... and a “creative approach to facing the challenges of the times.” (To see if you agree, you can download it here. And if you like it, you might want to read the sequel.)

But ideas are just ideas until you put them into practice. So I followed up with a two-hour workshop to help folks apply these ideas -- the principles and practices that successful people use to turn lemons into lemonade. The next -- and probably last -- "Loving the Recession" workshop will take place on Thursday, Oct. 1, at 7pm at the Bell House in Freeland (on Whidbey Island. Registration is $25.

What is the recession doing to you? Is it controlling you, or are you determining your own experience? If you find yourself in despair or depression, how is that working for you? And is it even possible to choose a different way of thinking that leads you into the light of hope and onto the path of success?

This highly interactive workshop lifts you into a stance of possibility and opportunity. I offer you ample time to apply the four-step process outlined in my article – focusing on your values, your vision, your action plan, and the support you need to get there.

As one Biznik member responded to my article: “Our choice of focus now will determine whether the future upswing is a train that leaves us behind, or a wave that we ride to success.”

Give yourself a gift –- take the first steps toward riding the wave to success. Network with others dedicated to their own positive futures, at “Loving the Recession: The Workshop.” Bring something to write with, and something to write on, and prepare to focus on your own well-being.

"If your business has been impacted by the recession, this is about you. This is about creating, from your life, a work of art. Because if you're not doing that, what are you doing with your life?"
