Can women have it all

My career path has led me through a variety of experiences over a period of 40+ years. FOCUS & CHANGE INTERNATIONAL is a new venture that is an extension and integration of my many years of work experience, professional development and learning. It was an idea that grew out of a recent dynamic learning experience.

I learned a new skill set that makes it possible to see things differently and experience perspectives in a new way: our conscious mind only offers a minutia of resources. The untapped unconscious mind has a well of resources for strength, resiliency and learning. There are processes to get out of negativity and dig deep in a rich and positive way. 

In his book The Seven Spiritual Laws Of Success, Deepak Chopra discusses the basic tenants that describe presuppositions and processes that are also present in my recent work. It’s an easy read (described by the publisher as “one hour of wisdom”) and offers a life-altering perspective on attaining success.

Chopra describes a process of transformation:

1. The Law of Pure Potentiality – Success in life depends on knowing who we really are. Self Power is True Power. Practice Non-Judgement.
2. The Law of Giving and Receiving – Experiencing gratitude. The more you give, the more you receive. Abundance has material expression circulating in our lives, in our thoughts and our thoughts have the power to transform.
3. The Law of Karma or Cause and Effect – Karma is about action and the consequence of action. “What you sow is what you reap.”
4. The Law of Least Effort – Follows the natural flow of nature’s intelligence. Do less and accomplish more.
5. The Law of Intention and Desire – Our intentions and desires have infinite organizing powers for us to achieve what we want. 
6. The Law of Detachment – To attain what we want, we need to relinquish control over the outcome.
7. The Law of Dharma or Purpose of Life – Each one of us has special needs and a uniqueness to offer others.

These are simple and powerful principles that can make all the difference and can help to transform your life. I have lived and worked with the process of change and the challenge of human nature’s resistance to change, both personally and professionally.  Change can be scary and exciting at the same time, depending on the circumstances and the proportions. I have always enjoyed change, perhaps needing new challenges  to keep me expanding. These new learnings echo Chopra’s Seven Spiritual Laws of Success! My recent experience has felt like a quantum leap!  My curiosity and interest to expand my world has taken off with an energy force I have never experienced before! I am very focused and want to share this exhilaration and energy force!

This process has inspired me to offer workshops for women in conversation. The next workshop is THE WOMEN’S ROOM: REFLECT AND RECLAIM on May 31 – A wonderful day of challenging ourselves to work on balancing Work, Love and Play. REGISTRATION IS ON NOW!
