Dear Scott,
I didn’t think your Leadership Awakening course was for me. After all, I was “just” a housewife and mom who did a little free-lance writing on the side. “Who am I to take this course alongside all these business managers and CEO’s?” I asked my husband, whose company recently sent him to the class.
“Who are you not to?” was, in essence, his reply.
How right he was. What an incredible journey I’ve begun!!! In just over two days, this powerful experience changed the way I look at the world. It’s as if I took the filter off my lens and am seeing things as they are for the first time in my life. This experience has made me a much better mother, wife, daughter, friend, neighbor and citizen – and I’ve only been home from the ranch two days!
Let me give you an example. My 8-year-old, Jack, often has horrendous homework tantrums. Pencils fly, books hit the wall, crayons get broken in half. It happened again this morning when he got stuck on a math problem. Up until now, I would have handled it by yelling, “Jack, this is unacceptable behavior! Go to your room!” This time I said calmly, “Jack, I’m hearing that you’re confused and frustrated because you don’t understand this problem yet, and you need help.” The tantrum stopped abruptly and I was able to help Jack focus and solve the problem. It was a win-win situation – all because I really listened for the first time.
This kind of stuff has been happening continuously since I’ve been home. It’s uncanny, almost magical, how I seem to know exactly how to handle every situation that comes along. I could never have gotten this from a book or a tape. Only by experiencing this intense process you call Leadership Awakening could I unlock the power that was in me all along.
I am so excited about my life. For the first time, I know where I’m going and how I’m going to get there. Best of all, my husband and I are working together as a team. Standing with him at my Leadership Awakening graduation ceremony was better than our wedding day.
We’ll never know the ripple effect we create, but the thought of it blows our minds. THANK YOU, Scott, for this unique, outstanding program and for your passion and commitment. I will recommend Leadership Awakening to everyone I know. I expect a lot of moms like me to be knocking at your door.
Sincerely – with Passion: Heart, Body & Soul,
