FROM HUMAN DOING TO HUMAN BEING
Entrepeneurs are by definition, busy people. The sheer energy expenditure to do what you need to do in your every day lives is significantly more when you are working against your body, mind and heart instead of with it. In short, you may be burning more fuel to get from A to B than you need to. There is a more efficient and sustainable way. When you move from ‘human doing’ to ‘human being’, you can still be productive and reach your goals however you change the way you get there. In a state of ‘human being’ you can enhance joy and connection while also showing up for challenges with skill and mastery. This masterclass will take you through three phases to move from human doing to human being.
Phase one: Let Go
This experience is designed to dig deeper into the physical, mental and emotional toll the invisible mental load has on all of us.
Phase two: Let Be
This phase is designed to provide the forum with tools to understand the nature of the mind.
Phase three: Let In
Phase three is about the HEART
