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

The cost:

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

Happy Fourth of July to all of us in the USA!

BULLYING

On the StopBullying.gov website this is the definition of Bullying:

Unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or
perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated,
over time. Both kids who are bullied and kids who bully other may have serious,
lasting problems.

In fact in the work of Professor Bennett Tepper, Ohio Sate University:   PROCEDURAL INJUSTICE, VICTIM PRECIPITATION, AND ABUSIVE SUPERVISION and other studies he has conducted show the damage done to the recipients if Abusive Bosses. The same as you can see in students who are bullied.

The results on the victims are almost exactly alike: Nervous Disorders, Other Stress
disorders and at it's worst PTSD; Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

We are seeing more and more corporate people with PTSD (yes just like our military).
This is an extreme disorder which can only be treated with extensive therapeutic intervention.

When bullying in the workplace occurs it is usually relentless and intense. It robs the
victim of their ability to make decisions, their self confidence and their well being both physically and mentally.

It should be prosecuted as an extreme assault but instead we have seen an alarming turn which has most companies promoting the bullies and punishing the victims.

In fact Bullying is being seen as a viable management style! Are you kidding me! Unwanted aggressive behavior that involves a power imbalance and that is repeated over time is
A MANAGEMENT STYLE!!!!! Hell NO!!!

It's another turn at the same old story: When all you have is a hammer everything looks like
nail! The use of Bullying is only because the people in power using it only know one way of getting work done: Coercion or punishment!

Yea you will get short term results out of some folks who don't know how to stand up to
your tactics and/or have low self esteem but long term good luck!

The number one reason people leave your company is bad management. If you haven't
already experienced the brain drain and/or the inability to recruit young folks for
your open jobs trust me if you use bullying in management you will experience it
very soon.

If I sound angry I am. I cannot believe in 2015 I am writing yet another article to warn
you of this style of management.

All I can say is that in Tepper's work he found the only way that works to combat bullying is to bully your boss back! Yes we have finally come to that! If you are bullied you will need
to give as good as you get to solve the problem.

I have another idea. Take them to court for abuse and harassment. Let's see how long
bullying lasts as a management tool after 3-4 law suits!!

As always we like to hear what you think.

  Continuing your Women Moving Forward? experience 
 
 
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!

Susan

2016 Women's Leadership Retreat  only 1 space left!!!

 
 
 
2015 was an incredible year for the  Women's Leadership Retreat?

The issues we discussed this year were:

 Completion of Death
 Kubler-Ross Death and Dying Stages
 Completing By Telling the Truth


One of our participants said:

"Feeling so privileged and grateful for an amazing gift and life changing experience. Thank you Susan!!"

Anne

The women attending came away feeling more empowered then ever before. The completion of some very difficult experiences coupled with telling the truth set
them on a more purposeful course

It was a magnificent group of women!

ADVANCED WOMEN MOVING FORWARD?

August  19-20  Thousand Oaks, CA
September 8-9  Geneva, Switzerland 
 
 
 
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 2015 Retreat? last group Dinner on Thursday PM

We used this year's Retreat to discuss what completion regarding death
really is. It was a safe place for the women who attended to complete
some difficult life experiences for themselves.  

That is what The Retreat? is; a place for women,
at director level and above, 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.

 
A Light moment in the 2015 WLR? 


To attend in 2016, May 3-5 (make up day May 2)
 you must be a graduate of Women Moving Forward?

(unless you have attended The Women's Leadership Retreat before).

You will also need to attend the make-up day May 2. You will have 26+
concepts to master and 60+ pages of pre-work.

We will bundle the price of the workshops together so you can meet the prerequisites with a discount.
  
2016 only has 1 space left!

Fee for new participants or participants who missed a year; $4950 US
Returning participants; $4150 US

I look forward to speaking with you about this
incredible program!

Susan

                                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!
