YOU HAVE AN IMPACT ON OTHERS

At the retreat, we strongly encourage showing up each and every day in a your true, authentic self. That means being honest with where you’re at in terms of how you’re feeling that day, your energy levels, your outlook and what kind of effort you can put in. That also means showing up and adding any of your own honest thoughts to the conversation. We encourage sking questions that you need answered and supporting the other guests who are going through the same experience. The reason is that we ALL have something to offer and each person’s thoughts, actions, ideas, tips and questions can be helpful to the greater good of the learning environment. 

YOU are unique. There is no one else out there like you and that’s a pretty amazing thing when you think about it. 

The set of tools and skills you’ve developed, your beliefs, ideas and thoughts are all contributions of your true self that ultimately help influence others. 

If you think about it, how many times in your life has someone else had an impact on you, how you think and how you behaved? It could have been just one simple word, one phrase or an entire speech. The point is that you never know who is listening, absorbing the information you have to offer and who might act on that. It can stick with you for days, weeks and even years. 

While it’s easy to discount our contributions, our reach and our strengths and qualities, they all add up to who we are and how we leave our mark on this world so to speak. 

The experiences you’ve had, the things you’ve learned, the lessons you’ve been exposed to - these all add up to the person you are today. You never know who might benefit from your insight.
