• Success leaves clues - modelling excellence  Successful people know that success leaves clues. As a result, it's possible for those who want to play at the top of their game to model excellence. Using information from brain scientists, prominent leaders in the coaching field, psychologists and business people, this workshop details the most important things you can do to ensure that you're "in the zone," and maximizing your time, energy and profits. Testimonial: Kathy certainly gave our staff something to think about in her "Success Leaves Clues," presentation. Her in depth knowledge, passion and conviction helped her effectively convey a number of key concepts to enable people to move forward toward what they want in their personal and professional lives. Our company hosts a series of lunch and learns over the course of the year and this session was one of the most well attended. Scott McCannell, manager of organizational effectiveness, HP Advanced Solutions. 

• The five secrets to overcoming underearning. This workshop, created by Barbara Stanny, a leading authority on women and money, helps women re-claim their power by examining their relationship with money. A powerful woman is someone who knows who she is and can express that out in the world. Money is a potent tool for living life on your own terms. At the end of this two-hour workshop you'll leave with the five secrets to empowering yourself financially, as well as a plan to do exactly that. If you can't make the public workshop, get a group of your friends and/or colleagues together and I'll present it to you at your home or office.

• Because you're worth it - creating a life you love in a few easy steps.  Learn how to create a life that suits you to a "t." Why? Because you're worth it. 

• A balanced life  Participants rate the major areas of their life in terms of satisfaction and answer the question, "What do I want and what do I need to do to make it happen?" Little changes can make a difference and changing one area of your life will impact all of the other areas.

• Time management  How are you spending your seconds, minutes, hours and days? If you're like a lot of people, you just think you don't have enough time in the day to get everything done. In this workshop, find out how you can make time for the important things in your life.

• Goal setting, using SMART goals  Learn how this simple formula can help you maintain your vision and sustain motivation

• Change your thoughts and your life will change  This workshop will introduce you to the cast of characters inside your head who are all too eager to share their negative opinions about you with you. You'll leave this workshop knowing what their scripts are and with the tools to keep them in their place - on mute on the back burner. This knowledge makes creating the life you desire much, much easier.

• Stop tolerating and start succeeding The father of coaching, Thomas Leonard, was a huge proponent of eliminating everything that bugs us and saps our energy. (While he didn't include family and friends in this list, he did include some of their less desirable behaviours.) He argued that if we don't, tolerations will put holes in our success cup, taking along our good fortune and contentment with them. In this workshop, come face to face with what you're tolerating, why you're desensitizing yourself and what it's costing you. Then learn how to create a toleration free life, which ironically improves your relationships.

• Self Care 101 The relationship you have with yourself is the most important relationship you'll ever have. How is your relationship going? Are you treating yourself as well as you deserve to be treated? Do you take time to nurture yourself? Are you good at setting boundaries? Learn how to take better care of the most important person in your life, you. By doing so, you'll increase your personal success and happiness

• Creating your future with vision boards Having a clear vision of what you want in your life is one of the most important steps to getting it. Learn how you can speed up the process by creating a vision board, as mentioned in the movie and book The Secret.

• My cancer treatment is over, what's next? This workshop was presented at the Canadian Breast Cancer Network's National Conference for young survivors in Toronto in Nov., 2007 and is being presented on March 27 to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in Victoria. In this workshop designed specifically for cancer survivors, you'll get the opportunity to celebrate your courage and look at the characteristics that helped you get through this difficult life experience. You'll then create a vision for your future, which may or may not be different than the plan you had for yourself before cancer.

Workshops specifically designed for your business or organization are also available.

Comments from participants about Arbutus Coaching Workshops:

• Thank you so much for such an awesome workshop and book, but especially the book (Live Your Best Life Now! The Cancer Survivor's Guide to Creating a Happy and Meaningful Life) because it goes into so much more depth than you had time for in the workshop. This is EXACTLY what I need at this time, EXACTLY.

• I had one of the most powerful experiences of my life during the future self visualization you did during the workshop. After doing it, I could see that I would be happier, lighter and better off if I left my husband. I needed the experience in your workshop to get me there. I'm emailing you because I thought you might enjoy knowing that you impact people in truly profound and wonderful ways, even if you don't get to 'meet,' them. Greatest thanks, April Skala.
