The Art of Daring

  • This year you’re going to do it. You’re going to start that business, write that book, get that promotion, find true love, lose 10 pounds, have dinner in Paris (or Rome or Singapore or Mumbai).  You’re going to sign up for that class, or teach that class, run that marathon, eat less meat, learn to meditate, read more books, go on a safari in Africa, learn to play tennis, sign that client, take a train trip across the country.  This is the year you’re going to dare to ____________.

    People say “Dare to dream”, we say “Dare to accomplish your dreams”.  And here’s how you do it.

    Sign up today for The Art of Daring.

    Agenda for The Art of Daring February 18th, 2011
    8:30 AM Refreshments & Networking: Enjoy fresh squeezed orange, apple or carrot juice along with one of our signature pastries. Or visit the Coffee & Tea Bar for a delightful pick me up.
    9:00 AM Opening Remarks: Join Erica OGrady as she welcomes you to the Art of Daring with story.
    9:30 AM Call To Adventure: Everyone gets the call.  You will identify one goal you must realize this year.  Learn the steps to take to make it a reality by eliminating fear and setting the wheels in motion.  Every hero has a journey and a call to adventure that simply cannot be refused any longer.  And you… my friend, are a hero.
    10:30 AM Crossing The First Threshold: Deciding on your goal and writing it down is a formal commitment, and you should be proud of yourself for taking the first step.  But you’re only just beginning.  Now it’s time for you to put together a written plan of action for making your dream a reality.  We will show you how motivation works, and teach you to leverage your personal strengths while minimizing weaknesses.

    Change The World.  Create Lasting Value.  Improve Your Life.

    Core Focus:  Motivation, Risk, Experimentation
    11:30 AM The Road of Trials: You might find it difficult to take the first step towards your goal.  Or you might get to the middle of the road and lose the path.  That’s okay.  Everyone gets lost sometimes.  In this hour, you’re going to learn how to find your way back to your path in record time, while eliminating obstacles that might be holding you back.

    Make Desire More Important than FEAR

    “If you’re going to have a story, have a big story, or none at all”. ~Joseph Campbell
    12:30 PM LUNCH: A hot buffet lunch including salad and bread will be served.  Vegetarian options available by request, please let us know upon registration.
    1:30 PM On Authenticity: As Karen Maezen Miller says, “Authenticity is not something you can learn.  It’s something you practice.” You’ll learn how practicing authenticity will help you to better identify the goals that really matter to you, and accomplish more of the things that bring meaning to your life.

    Be Remarkable Instead of Big
    2:30 PM The Ultimate Boon: Every Hero’s Journey ends with the achievement of the goal of the quest.
