This group served as a mini-think-tank & a focus group -the benefits
included:
• There was a place to speak your truth to total strangers
• There was a place to set 3 month goals with the intention of being
accountable to others
• On-going homework assignments & teleseminars kept us focused on
dealing with the dimensions of psychological growth such as addressing
limiting beliefs, the identification of role models & re-examining the
saboteurs that could hold us back
• Renewed appreciation for giving & receiving feedback from a group of
committed, intelligent, passionate women
• Learning to trust the flow of business & networking that brought
unexpected opportunities that allowed me to open to
new possibilities while holding firm to the vision I developed in
the group.
