Private Sessions or Group Mentoring

help you build skills while moving towards your goals

I start by mentoring you to create a “Big Vision” that captures what matters to you and the specific results you want to achieve — this is your compass. It helps you stay focused on your goal, no matter what else changes.

From there, we work through a series of thought-provoking questions, which you may not be able to answer on the spot. You may need to reflect and arrive at clarity over time. I will share my insights with you to help this along.

I provide you with web-apps for “Big Vision” that help you capture and develop your ideas. You can save and print your Big Vision, so you can look back at how your concept evolved, and confirm that your decisions are right.

What People Say About

my mentoring, workshops and consulting

Below are excerpts from client references over the years. Clients ranged from individuals transforming their lives to business and government transforming their services, organizations and industries.

Create a Better Life

To create a “Better Life” you must be able to achieve personal growth, acquire new skills, develop your work and career, and attain self-sufficiency and work-life balance. “Life” level sessions mentor people in the insights and skills to achieve these ideals. Following are participant comments:

Life Success

This Workshop participant gained critical skills for life and success.

 

“Before your course, nobody taught me to think so clearly. This is saying a lot, because my MBA is business management. I now have the ability to make decisions quickly, and know what to do to get to my goal. Now, without trying, I can create success. You have made it simple.”

Life Changes

This participant found that skills learned in the workshop were lasting.

 

“It has been a year, and I am still using what you taught me. There is no effort in doing things the right way. What you showed me triggered a natural, effortless change for me. I don’t have to work at trying to change. It just happens easily. I think everyone should take this course.”

Life Goals

This participant applied his new skills to his golf game, and won a golf trophy.

 

“By the time I finished the session, I had a better sense of where I was. Many years of thoughts, ideas, emotions, previously scattered, were rearranged in a meaningful way. I deal effectively with problems that in the past might have been mishandled because of an incorrect diagnosis in the first place.”

Life Clarity

This participant gained new skills in clarity, decision-making and execution.

 

“The most noticeable change for me is focus on what I am doing and where I am going. I am able to evaluate situations from a different perspective, make faster decisions, waste less time and stay on target. You have connected the dots in my brain. This course would be beneficial for anyone.”

Life Vision

This participant gained focus, direction and confidence in handling change.

 

“My thinking and capabilities have expanded far beyond anything I expected. I take a broader view and can project myself into the future. I have a clear sense of how to deal with change. I can see what’s coming for the next 10 years and plan for it. I would recommend this program to anyone.”

Life Skills

Student participants gained experience and skills for achieving Life goals.

 

“This committee brought together students with Vivian as chair. Vivian displayed an uncanny ability to ask the right questions and pinpoint the heart of a problem. Some of the questions she asked puzzled me. In retrospect, the answers and their timing were crucial to the successful outcome.”

Life Skills

Students developed ideas and achieved a goal they had not attempted before.

 

“We had no idea what to do. What stood out about Vivian was how easily she focused us and drew from us ideas and great solutions we did not even realize we had. She consistently guided us to peak performance and creativity. Best of all, she made the whole process stress-free, fun and exciting.”
