Workshops for the Business and Personal Environment (Copyright, 2008)

Responsibility: The Real Reward

Working on the premise that we are our own worst and best judges this workshop helps to identify the lost meaning of integrity. Bringing each individual to the point of self-honesty, the participants help themselves to the self satisfaction they deserve.

The Canoe and The Ocean

We refuse responsibility for the most destructive of our actions and words. Yet we we will blame ourselves for events out of our control. How do we come to terms with what we can ultimately change and what are the forces outside our power? This workshop helps to develop a more objective observation and process conflict.

The Hands

This powerful instrument of our needs, desires, loves and destruction is also our companion, protector and resides with us for our entire lives like no other being. As an agent of change it does our bidding and as a nurturer provides us with all manner of sustenance. A workshop on the power of hands and a meditation on the life they lead apart and in concert with our mind. This is a calming, centering program for balance in life and strenghtening our actions and resolve.

Managing Relationships

Without them, we are lost. They have the power to delight or ruin us. How do we make the most of our relationships and how do we build new ones? The skills of relationships cannot be underestimated. Personality, the key to relationships is a major factor in our everyday success. Whether we are finding the right person or dealing with co-workers, managing those moments can lead to gratification and success. This is a workshop for discovering our own original personality and using it to our happiness and satisfaction.

Simple Steps, Complex Problem Solving

This a thorough series of sessions on the non-judgmental use of a problem solving model that gets to the core of our pattern of thoughts and actions that keep us rooted in place. Unable to evolve past a myriad of adaptive coping skills we fall back on old behaviors. Opening a dialogue of personal and professional self-reflection, we can can create new thoughts and behaviors by challenging our assumptions and creating new perspectives.

Facing Codependence

P. Mellody

Where was I when this book first came out? Probably suffering the symptoms of codependence without a clue but a great deal of pain. Pia Mellody is famous in some circles for her views on Codependence and Love/Avoidant Addiction. What makes her books such prize winners is she writes from a participating, knowledgeable perspective without all the academic grandstanding. You read it – you get it! Do you have appropriate levels of self-esteem, have functional boundaries and react to your situations with moderate temper? If not, Pia will tell you why. I read this straight through and have referred  her to my groups.

What Should I Do with My Life

P. Bronson

I never write a review until I finish a book. So much could change! But I am making an exception for this wonderful book. Po Bronson has assembled cheering and heart breaking stories of people searching for their purpose in life. Sometimes that’s a career – a subject near and dear to my heart. Seeing ourselves in other people’s stories is a powerful message of hope and balance. Bronson has given us this soulful collection and includes his own thoughts and comments. As a therapist, I cringed at some of his words but found them to be the shiny, honest epitome of truth and responsibility. I’m giving this one as gifts to my clients and friends.

The Overspent American

J. Schor

I really enjoyed this book. Several years ago I downsized. I was fed up with large spaces, too many dinners out, and the nagging feeling that a new car every two years was the not really the norm. Spending, wanting, acquiring – the American way. But I know I felt and Ms. Schor was able to say so succinctly was – enough!! It is never satisfying and it’s highly addictive. This book is a great read when your stressed by bills, the Jones’s new car and the need for a walk in the woods with no other reward at the end.

Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life

J. Hollis

When you think the rest of the world  is peopled by adults but somehow you missed the boat – this book is for you. I look around and think ‘what more could I have done, or done differently’. Hollis explores the reasons we have for coming to grips with who we are versus who we should be. As a result, our life choices in this second half will be richer.

Deep Economy

McKibben, B.

This may be a hard set of ideas for Americans to follow. The need to build the empire and be the strongest and richest is part of our patrimony. McKibben makes a good case for the build and do smarter – not necessarily bigger. His reporting on various communities built around the concept of local grow and share will warm anyone over 30’s heart. The good old days may be the sensible new days.

Do What You Are

Tieger P. & Barron-Tieger, B.,
