Men Relationships and Work©

 
For those of you who want to bring this very special workshop to the men in your company contact us to schedule one.

This is the Men's version of WMF®

Men all over the world have taken this workshop and have been surprised by the results.

The cost:

$35,000 for up to 14 men

We strongly recommend
this workshop be done in locations and
companies where WMF® has been held.

If you only continue to train women but do not also re-train men you just make women more frustrated.

 


 
JUST FOR WMF® Graduates:

John Van Vleet has openings in his:

August 23-25 Enabling Purpose Workshop    Westlake Village, CA

Normally Cost is $3750 but for WMF® graduates only (until July 10)
we are offering $1000 off  on 4 slots.

This is the workshop that helped R&D teams bring a product to market in record time and it has produced sales and manufacturing team results that are similar.

Let us know ASAP if you want to attend or you have someone to refer. 



A Unique Perspective

As we continue to discover pockets of real gender discrimination
all over the world a new perspective has emerged. In an article
from the June 27 Time Magazine Transgender Americans tell us
exactly how differently they were treated as women before they transitioned to their male lives. It is an insightful and eyeopening
article.

The bottom line of the article is when they were women they were
discriminated against in very interesting ways. Then after they transitioned to men they were treated appreciably better.

Most trans men interviewed for the article said they had no idea
how bad it was for women at work until they transitioned.
James Ward was a female lawyer before he transitioned and is now a male lawyer. He had an incident in which a female judge refused
to grant his request and his male opposing counsel leaned over to him and used the "C word" to describe the judge to him and
commiserate with him. He said this would never have happened
when he was a female. He was now a member of the Boys Network so he was privy to all of the Gender discrimination
by his male colleagues.

What was interesting to Ward and to us is the fact that his
opposing counsel's comment was off the cuff and no one questioned it.

His quote in the article is "It's taken as, 'He's saying it, so it
must be true.' Whereas while I was practicing as a female, it
was 'Show me your authority, you don't know any better yet.'"

As I read the article and the interviews with Ward and his fellow
Trans men I couldn't help but wonder how many times a day I and my fellow women are treated with disdain or attacked without
it ever becoming public.

It was comforting to know these men were talking about it
and making it public. They had a unique vantage point as having
been a woman and now being Male. They knew how they
were treated when they were women and now they knew how differently they were being treated as men.

Maybe if we circulate this article men will stop saying "we don't
have any gender issues here" when I visit their companies. Maybe
they will have some understanding of how abusive their "off the
cuff" behavior really is.

Thanks Trans Men for your support. I appreciate it!

If you have ever thought, "I wish I could hear Susan's voice again" or "I want to re-visit what I learned in WMF® now that my life has changed" then

Advanced Women Moving Forward®
REVIEWING or
OBSERVING
could be an option for you!

Because women's lives occur in stages: singledom, marriage, kids, etc. we always had the option for women to return to the workshop when they entered a new stage.

Here are the 3 options graduates can use to attend WMF® again:


Attending Advanced Women Moving Forward®

The 2 day workshop will have you focus on:
 
Your purpose in life and how to live a more purposeful life.

Completing your old Declarations of Self

Creating new Declarations of Self


 
Reviewing

In this option you are actually a full participant. You do a pre-call and pre-work and participate as a full participant!

You will need to be present for all 3 days and do all the workshop exercises.

The cost is 50% of the total cost of the workshop. So here in the US reviewing currently costs $1875


Observing

In this option you sit at the Observer Table and do the exercises from that vantage point. You can "observe" where you are now and where you need to be next. You participate only silently from the back of the room.

Observing affords you the flexibility to come and go as you please (except during the completion exercise).

You do not participate fully and only speak to the room if asked to by Susan

The cost to Observe is $250 in the US and $450 in other countries.

In every workshop we do we have limited spaces for Reviewers and for Observers.

If you think you will want to Observe or Review please let us know so we can reserve your space.

Next Opportunities to Observe or Review are next week in Cincinnati and in October in Geneva. I look forward to the possibility of seeing some of you soon!

Watch for new schedule of Advanced WMF® in 2016!

OCTOBER 20-21, 2016      Westlake Village, CA   
 
 

Meltem & Janice discussing purpose Geneva AWMF®
 
Here are some quotes from the evaluations of the last
Advanced Women Moving Forward® Workshop:

"I understand the boundaries that go along with my role,
I will be able to make more efficient decisions"


"I have a greater sense of clarity over my life....this has given
me the opportunity to start with a clean slate. I am more in touch with myself..."


"I am more purposeful and can lead from a higher level....
I am more 'in the moment' because the distractions are being
removed"


"...(I'm) not alone in my experience, support is so helpful...
like a renewal of WMF® to a further degree"

"I will live more on purpose at work which will make me more
effective in my role...as a leader. This will benefit my company.."


"I plan to move through breakdown as quickly as possible"

"I am more centered and more on purpose which will help me
make clearer decisions and improve productivity"


"Knowing that breakdowns are opportunities to learn
information to move back into creation vs viewing them as a
dead end"


"I will focus on 'who owns the problem' and delegate the
solution to them"


"I have let go of old declarations and am refocused on the
path forward"

WOMEN'S LEADERSHIP RETREAT®
   
         
The 2016 Retreat® Lunch

We used this year's Retreat to discuss Power. How to be at your Full Power and
not suppress it or pretend you are not as powerful as you are.

 The Retreat© is a safe place for women
 to be so they can feel the support of other women and personally
and professionally grow from that experience.

No matter how successful you are there is always
more to develop and grow.

 Anne and Nienke enjoy the Bacara

                                 OBSERVING 

Observing is a WMF® graduate program that includes 
attending the workshop and looking at how far  
you have come since taking the workshop. It also helps  
you to keep the learnings you got as impactful as they were  
when you took  
the workshop. 
 
 The side benefit of Observing is supporting the women  
attending by modeling what it is to complete the workshop.

If you would like to Observe any of the community based  
workshops in 2011 all you need to do is contact us to make  
a reservation and pay the $250 fee. Seats in each  
workshop are limited and are given on a first come  
first serve basis.
 
Four Graduates in Europe Observed the Frankfurt workshop
last year. 
 
You do not have to be at all three days of the workshop.  
You can  be at one day or several or you can come for an afternoon.
The schedule is up to you when you Observe.

 
Some Graduates bring their workshop buddies with them  
to Observe and some bring their old notebooks!
