Workshops and SeminarsLiving Your Purpose - On Purpose Workshop –Created by Meredith Young-Sowers, Purpose: Living Your Purpose – On Purpose is a Life Purpose Workshop that aligns your talents, skills, interests and Soul’s Intention to contribute in the most heartfelt ways to your family, your organization, your global family – and to yourself. Your life purpose is similar to a personal map extending from your birth to your death. No one gets your map but you. If you choose not to follow it, then it simply remains unfulfilled like a package at a store that has been put on lay-away and never claimed. Your life purpose isn't just one career event or line of advancement. It is the journey of your life with all your daily experiences added to the mix as you roll along. Here are a few questions for you to determine if this workshop would be right for you: *** Would you like a new beginning in any area of your life? and/or and/or and/or Meredith Young-Sowers has designed a series of eight steps that will help you identify your life's purpose - and live it.

Because I am only taking 12 people "the sooner, the better" if it feels right for you. ***** If you would like to read my personal story of how I came to teach Living Your Purpose – On Purpose, you can continue reading. No coincidences! Over three years ago, I attended the “Living Your Purpose - On Purpose” Intensive Workshop of the Stillpoint School of Integrative Life Healing, created by Meredith Young-Sowers, and went on to become a Certified Integrative Healing Coach as well as a Master Teacher of Living Your Purpose - On Purpose. How did that happen? One night, I was sharing that feeling with some of my new Stillpoint friends and the next morning, as I was checking my email messages, I saw a message to me, from me, sent at 5:47 in the morning. The message simply said: "Yes". After the experience of Living Your Purpose - On Purpose, I knew in my heart and soul that I was meant to do more with it. The brilliance with which Meredith led me (and others) to such deep discoveries was profound. I have done Purpose-related work for years but never had an experience with the focus of Purpose that touched me as deeply as this did. As a result, I have learned how to work with people on a deeper level - integrating body/mind/spirit which has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember.

Effective Parenting WorkshopBeing a parent is a wonderful opportunity and blessing. But it can also be full of heartaches and tears of frustration. Most parents have never learned how to parent so they follow their parent's example. This approach is not always skillful - and being a good parent does take skills. You can learn parenting skills that work - and I can teach and coach you how to do them. ACHIEVING EXCELLENT RESULTS and RELATIONSHIPS:When You Have Responsibility but No AuthorityIn today's working culture, many employees are faced with the discouraging fact that they are given responsibility -- but no authority. In this workshop, you will discover more understanding of yourself and others, learn effective methods of communication and persuasion to build relationships and, at the same time, achieve desired results -- a both/and model rather than an either/or. ADVENTURES IN ATTITUDES:You Are What You ThinkA recent study showed that the 3 main problems for employers with their employees are negative attitudes, poor communication skills, and lack of experience. Discover how the power of positive attitudes can lead to a greater success personally and professionally. This workshop will increase overall bottom line effectiveness with increased awareness, morale, motivation, self-confidence -- and communication! BUILDING HIGH PERFORMANCE TEAMS:From Vision to RealityMost groups that call themselves "teams" are really just work groups. This workshop is a visionary approach to creating a self-directed team that is inspired in its vision, can share that vision with others, and can ensure that all values, goals, and action steps are in alignment with not only the team's vision but the organization's vision as well. CHANGING NEGATIVITY IN THE WORKPLACE:How to be Positive in a Negative EnvironmentAttitudes are contagious and it's challenging to be positive when all around you there's negativity. In this workshop, you will learn specific strategies to handle your own negative feelings as well as the negative feelings of others, reduce stress, and learn techniques to change the environment in which you work. COACH THE COACH:Motivate to ActionA recent study showed that training followed by coaching can enhance performance by 87%. Coaching is a crucial leadership skill -- whether preceded by training or just used as a way to assist employees in gaining their own insights in order to achieve greater results and productivity. This workshop teaches those in leadership, managerial or supervisory roles how to coach their people to enable them to achieve their personal and professional goals as well as those of their organization. COMMUNICATION:You Make a DifferenceCommunicating -- understanding and being understood -- is one of the biggest challenges in today's busy and often impersonal world and it is the key to success in both business and personal life. Skills learned include effective listening, non-threatening confrontation, creative problem solving, and win-win negotiation and conflict resolution. CUSTOMER SERVICE:Keep Them Coming Back96% of unhappy customers will say nothing to you but will simply take their business elsewhere, telling 11 to 26 other people about their dissatisfaction and only 2 to 5 about their satisfaction. Can you afford this silent loss? In this new millennium, meeting customers' expectation is not enough: you must exceed their expectations to even get their attention -- to set yourself apart. Learn a refreshing and powerful system for customer service to attract -- and retain -- your customers. DYNAMIC TEAM BUILDING:Discover and Develop Team SynergyMost teams go through a process of "storming"; members argue or withdraw, jockey for influence and power. Although some of this process is inevitable, this seminar will show a positive alternative to identify your team's innovative strengths and discover how to synergistically implement new ideas. Determine effective ways to balance, integrate, and capitalize on the different strengths of each member of a team to achieve a common purpose. EFFECTIVE FACILITATION:Bring out the Best in PeopleFacilitation is an essential skill in today's corporate culture. As the complexities of business increase and the need for change accelerates, every organization must have more people capable of leading through facilitation. This program is designed to build a powerful, internal resource for your organization to gain desired results easily and effectively -- people who are dynamic facilitators of people and processes. THE LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE:Turning Managers into Leaders and Leaders into VisionariesTHE LEADERSHIP TEAM INSTITUTE:Creating Vision Through Teamwork in the WorkplaceBoth institutes are signature programs of Creative Communications Center. They are designed for organizations that want inspired leadership, greater productivity, and higher team spirit. They are flexible in format, depending on the depth of experience desired, and range from three days to two phases of four or five days each. ==> Click here to visit our Leadership Institute page for more details. <== PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL EFFECTIVENESS:It All Begins with YouIf you experience frustration in your attempts to understand others and find it difficult to work with people who are different from you, you will profit from this seminar. You will learn to identify your own, as well as others, personal behavior styles, communication and motivational patterns and to discover more effective ways to understand and relate to people with whom you work and live. TRANSITIONS:The Personal Path through ChangeThe winds of change keep blowing. Change affects people in every type of business, in educational institutions, and in non-profit organizations. The only thing people can count on to remain constant is change itself. It is difficult to leave behind the comfort of the "old" way even if the new is exciting and appealing. In this half-day or full-day workshop, based on the work of William Bridges, Ph.D., you will be given a process to manage transition, a road map to move from the old to the new. VISIONARY PLANNING:Give Your Organization a MapIs your organization proactive and creative or reactive and stagnant? Ready for a new -- or renewed -- inspired vision? This workshop provides a forum for organizations to create the future they desire through examining corporate/group goals, determining their level of commitment, and making a plan of action to create their vision.
