Bridging the Gap: How to Get From Where You Are To Where You Want To Be
Creating an extraordinary life requires intention, focus, strategy, action, and support.
If you have a gap between where you are today and where you want to be, this session will help you bridge that gap and produce positive results in your life, career, or business through a proprietary 5-step process:
- Explore your Here & Now (What’s life like now?)
- Create a vision for your There & Then (What do you really want?)
- Identify and describe the gap that exists • Strategize what is necessary to bridge your gap
- Develop an action plan by mind mapping from the Big Picture to create the life you want
Jennifer actively engages participants in each of the five steps to ensure they benefit from immediate application to their own lives.
What Matters Most 365: Think It. Plan It. Do It.
Imagine the next year of your life. The next 12 months. 52 weeks. 365 days. Are you too distracted to think about what you really want? Are you too busy to plan? Are you too tired to take action? In other words, are you letting life happen to you and unfold around you rather than proactively and actively creating the life you want?
You have a much greater opportunity to live your best life if you strategize, plan, and act based on what matters most—to you. This session helps you acknowledge the current landscape of your life, gain insight into Who you are today, brainstorm, clarify, and organize your ideas about the life you really want for yourself, and develop an actionable What Matters Most 365 plan for making the coming 365 days your best year yet.
This powerful session draws on Jennifer’s effective and transformative personal strategic planning program to help you focus on what matters most in order to live your best life. It’s time to stop being too distracted, busy, and tired to take action on what matters most to you. Stop waiting. Life is happening now. Make the most of it.
Session highlights:
- Core questions that form the basis of a powerful annual life plan
- Framework for drilling down from vision and strategy to planning and tactics
- Monthly approach for asking the right questions to reconnect, recalibrate, and recommit to what matters most
Shift: Create Lasting Change in Your Life
Have you ever experienced a sudden moment of clarity about an area of your life that perpetually tripped you up—and it’s no longer an issue, the spell broken?
That’s what a shift is—suddenly, one conceptual world view is replaced by another and the before and after are fundamentally different. What was difficult, confusing, or stilted transforms to ease, clarity, and flow.
Oftentimes the only way to achieve lasting change in your life is to experience a shift: a new way of seeing that changes everything. While shifts sometimes seem to mysteriously happen on their own accord, there are proven strategies you can use to lay the foundation for a shift.
This session explores how to create the conditions necessary for the transformation that’s possible when one way of thinking is replaced by another. As a result, you put yourself in the path of possibility for a shift, creating lasting change in your life.
Simplified Living: Learn to Live a “Less is More” Life
What would you do with an extra 6 hours each day? Imagine each day is now 30 hours in length. What would those extra hours of “found” time free you to do? To be?
Well, a day is still 24 hours long, but this session explores how you can “gain” extra hours each day by simplifying your life. That’s right. Simplification equals the multiplication of time, energy, space, and resources.
Downshifting. Simplified Living. Voluntary Simplicity. Regardless of what you call it, there’s a movement underway to get back to the basics. To move away from possession-cluttered, debt-overloaded, work-burdened, and time-starved lives. To make lifestyle choices that minimize the “more is better” mindset, and maximize the reality that simplicity means more time, balance, and satisfaction.
Simplified living appeals to people for many different reasons—stress reduction, financial well being, less overhead to support, spirituality, desire for more free time, a personal commitment to sustainability, green living, anti-consumerism, etc. Regardless of the driving force, Simplified Living is a desire for a life that may have less from the outside, but is far richer and fuller on the inside.
Simplified Living positively embraces living with less—
- less debt
- less stuff
- less stress
- less overhead
- less distraction
- less struggle
This session includes practical tips for the practice of simple living—from evaluating your commitments to purging your clutter. From simplifying your goals to learning to say “no”. From limiting media consumption to learning to live more frugally. From managing budgets more responsibly to going for quality rather than quantity.
