Discover Me Self-Development Workshops

Have you ever wondered...

• How do I live a more fulfilling life?
• What makes me unique?
• How do I get more of what I want?
• How or where do I start?

Want to answer those questions in a workshop with like minded explorers?

Read on...or register now by clicking here.

This is what one of last participants had to say about the workshop:

"Going into the workshop, I was very frustrated. I didn't feel I had any tools to deal with my frustrations. I let myself get stuck back a few steps.What I learnt was that having frustrations in any part of my life flow into the other parts.  This workshop with you brought me back up to I know who I am, I will be proud of who I am. "

Stacey Marsh, Executive Director, Campbell River Hospital Foundation

The Discover Me! Self-Development Workshops are a great starting step for learning more about you and life. In an supportive and engaging environment you get to work with a professional coach towards these desired outcomes:

• Uncovering your values to learn about what is important to you
• Exploring your beliefs to learn if they are serving you or holding you back
• Learning to become resilient by holding up your values and beliefs
• Gaining clarity as to your greatest strengths and how to use them
• Moving forward your knowledge of concepts of self-awareness, self-acceptance into a powerful perspective for your life
• Revealing the negative thoughts and opinions that could be limiting your actions and alignment to your true self.

We can meet two ways! Live in-person or online.

This fall the workshops are available in two formats - live in-person workshops in Campbell River, BC and new this fall, online webinars hosted by Coach Shannan. Choose the format that fits your life and location.

I want to learn online - take me to the online version of this workshop!

Live Workshops in Campbell River

Through a series of three evening workshops you will explore you~! Your guide is a life coach with several hundred hours of experience as a coach and over two decades of work with adult learners... Coach Shannan!

You will get

• 7.5 hours of coaching in a group setting spread over three evenings to maximize its impact
• Two books (valued at $45) that strengthen the learning
• A workbook that includes personal maps that record your insight and self-discovery to use for future reference 

Invest in yourself for $249 (no HST).

You will do your exploring with a small group of like minded individuals. You work with the coach, in small groups, pairs or spend time reflecting. Our Campbell River location is a fantastic cozy, and comfortable coffee shop that is exclusively ours each night. Don't despair out of towners, the workshop has moved online...see info below.

Although it is great to see each other face-to-face, the real insight comes when you go out into the world with your new learning and awareness. Watch out world!  

Explore together, class size is limited to allow for more effective interaction with Shannan that includes questions and group discussions. 

Wouldn't it be great if you brought a friend, your partner or parent? Think about how much richer the learning could be for you if you had someone else who shared this journey.

SHIFT-IT Personal Planning Retreat 

 

The SHIFT-IT Graphic Coaching Process® is the official name of the personal planning tool used during the retreat.

 Already know you want to register, click here!

I can honestly say, I would not be where I am today if it wasn't for the SHIFT-IT retreat that I did in June of 2006. Stepping out of my busy life to refocus my energy so that I got clear about what I want and how to get there was critical before I made a move forward. Now, I get to bring it to my clients as a tested and credible resource for changing lives. Coach Shannan

Desired Outcomes:

• To gain an appreciation for where life has taken you while working towards releasing what isn't working for you
• To build a strong understanding of what are your strengths and current realities
• To create a strong compelling vision that is uniquely yours (includes creating a vision board)
• To plan the first steps to move towards your vision and stand in a place of commitment towards them

Try it for free! See the picture below for access to a free PDF document that assesses your world today.

SHIFT-IT is a powerful step-by-step tool that lets you explore your current, past and future perspectives in an engaging and interactive way. You will work with Coach Shannan through each step so that you have support and the ability to go deeper into the learning or planning.

The whole process comes to life in front of you as you write and draw on paper templates called maps, like the one pictured here. That is why it is called graphic coaching - a combination of images and words that plan for the future. 

Want to try it for free? Click on the picture to the right to open the Focus on Me Visual Map and Self-Guide. A 26 page PDF document free just for visiting my site. The guide has everything you need to create your first visual map of your life, instructions plus the template. Assess your current perspectives about life, love, work, health, etc. Try it out...like it and want more...great! Sign up for the retreat or call Coach Shannan for a private session. 

These maps become your record of the weekend retreat which helps to keep you ontrack to your goals. You will always have them as a reminder of what you want and the investment you made in yourself. Want to try out one of the steps, check out this self-guided version of the planning process

The next retreat is scheduled for November as follows:

Friday, November 18th - 1 pm to 5 pm 

• To discuss your crossroads of where you are at right now
• To look back at your life and bring forward what it means to you today

Saturday, November 19th - 9 to 5 pm

• To begin digging deeper into your current reality
• Your strengths, current level of satisfaction
• The process of visioning the future begins

Sunday, November 20th - 9 to 5 pm

• The final day is all about getting clear about what you want so you can move towards the future you desire

The retreat is $795 per person with a $100 discount for anyone who has taken the Discover Me workshops in-person. That investment in yourself includes:

• Two books that give you support and depth of learning about key topics during the process
• 19 hours of time with a professional life coach, Coach Shannan
• Your workbook containing all the maps you need to capture your insight and learning
• Access to all the other supplies and materials you need to complete the workshop
• A complimentary 30 minute follow-up call with Coach Shannan to check-in on your progress
• Beverages and snacks on each day of the retreat.

You can choose to make three equal payments of the retreat fee as follows:

• The first payment is due at time of registration.
• The second payment is due on the second day of the retreat weekend
• The final payment is due two weeks after the retreat weekend 

Making sure this is the right step for you is important, so Coach Shannan welcomes the opportunity to discuss this retreat with you before you make any commitment. It will be an open and honest discussion about what it can and can't do for you. Her business is build on referrals so making sure that clients are thrilled with their investments is critical.

If this sounds like the type of retreat for you, click here to get registered.

If you want to connect to Coach Shannan first, send her an info [at] coachshannan [dot] com or call 250-923-7946. Bring any questions or concerns you have. She welcomes the discussion.

The first retreat was in August and all the participants are still a buzz with the new vision they are working towards. In the picture, they are walking through a labyrinth of pictures looking for one that best describes their current crossroads issues. Stay tuned for their feedback and recommendations.
