SHOWING UP IS HALF THE BATTLE

3 P's to Overcoming Procrastination

Do you put things off to the last minute? Are you missing opportunities because of your procrastination? Have you bought into the myth of “working well under pressure?” To let go of procrastination is to let go of regrets. This interactive seminar will leave you with a customized action plan to help you push past your procrastination—so you can have less stress and higher quality in your work, in your relationships, and in everything else that matters most to you.    


A PERFECTIONIST'S WORK IS NEVER DONE

 Do you have impossibly high expectations of yourself? Is your perfectionism slowing you down, holding you back, or getting in the way of the more important things in your life? Perfectionism is more about how you think than what you do. When a desire for excellence becomes a demand for perfection, the consequences can include stress, procrastination, inefficiency, and strained relationships. This seminar will help you understand what perfectionism is, where it comes from, and how to deal with it. You will learn 3 keys to overcoming perfectionism--so you can have less stress, better relationships, and more time for what you want to do.


FILE ANYTHING IN YOUR HOME... And find it again!

 Are you unable to find a place to put papers away, or to find papers when you need them? Would you like to learn a filing system that is fast to set up and easy to use? This workshop provides solutions to eliminate piles of paper, lost records, and the time wasted trying to find them. Once you learn the flexible SuccessFile™ filing system, you’ll be able to create similar systems for business files and more.


ORGANIZE YOUR HOME, SIMPLIFY YOUR LIFE

 Is disorder in your home distracting you from your real calling or purpose in life? Are you overwhelmed or frustrated by too much stuff and not enough time? Do you want to get organized but don’t know where to start? Successful organizing begins with good stewardship of what you have. In this seminar, you’ll learn practical tips and proven strategies to reduce stress and get control of your time, clutter, and paperwork—so you can focus on what you love most.


TIME MANAGEMENT WITH PURPOSE

 Are you tired of trying to control time, cramming your calendar full of activities and multitasking in the name of “efficiency” or “productivity?” Would you rather create a schedule that reflects what’s important to you, so you can focus more on what you’re doing while you’re doing it? In this workshop, you will learn 4 keys to successful, purposeful time management--from long-range prioritization to daily reflection. The group discussions and individual reflection exercises enhance the relational and spiritual dimensions of the seminar.


MOM AT HOME, DAD ON THE ROAD:

Managing Life When Your Husband Travels

 When Dad is out of town on a business trip, the entire family makes adjustments. If not properly handled, Dad’s absence can lead to Mom’s stress--and can ultimately result in resentment and strained relationships among all family members. But it doesn’t have to be this way! In this seminar, you will learn practical tips to ease the transitions and minimize the disruption to your home. Discover ways to be better prepared and organized, avoid isolation, get the help you need, and improve your communication with your husband while he’s away. As a result, you will make each trip easier on yourself, your husband, and your children. 


ORGANIZING WITH CHILDREN  

The key to creating and maintaining order in a home with children is to create an environment where they can be successful—so they can “do it myself.” Learn child-friendly arrangements for bedrooms and play areas; storage of toys, clothes, schoolwork, artwork, and other memorabilia; and tips on controlling the paperwork associated with managing a family. This seminar will also challenge you to think about your stuff; how much is enough; and your expectations of your home, your family, and yourself.
