Adjust Your Dreams

In the afterglow of another completely compelling Olympic Games I got to thinking about what it takes to be the best and make it to the Olympics.  Among many other factors, being the best is primarily about overcoming.
 
What do athletes have to overcome to get to the Olympics?   Every one of them had to endure long hours, painful training, injuries and years of sacrifice.  We heard in the first week of the games how Nastia Luikin who won the Women's Gymnastics all-round competition was injured almost the entire year prior to the games.  Injuries are bad, but the most insidious and unacceptable thing that the athletes who have made it to the Olympics have had to overcome is the doubters.   The doubters are the people who told them they couldn't do it; they did not have what it takes in terms of talent, resources or drive. Or that no one has ever done that so you just need to adjust your dreams.  Can you imagine how many times these elite athletes had to overcome these suggestions?  Often from the people closest to them?  
As mere mortals we are subject to this conversation every day and most of us are not trying to do something as ambitious as competeing in the Olympics.

Create results that are equal to your efforts, faster than you ever thought possible

Women bring some really great skills and talents to the business table - Cooperation, Compassion, and Creativity - just to name a few.

We've developed a series of five business building sessions to assist women entrepreneurs and business leaders in adding these elements to what is already working.
Work side by side with other successful women to get more of what you want, faster than you thought possible.
