“How can I find the time and energy to do the things I really want to do?”
“How can I create better work-life balance?”
|
Do these questions hit home for you? You’re not alone. We hear them again and again from the hard-working, dedicated and tired professionals we work with all around the country.
You’re a professional. You want to bring your best self to work and make a difference. You care about the impact you have and you want to be successful, fully engaged and energized at work.
You’re also a human being with a life outside of work. You want to lead a meaningful, authentic and fulfilling life.
You have gifts and talents and hopes and dreams. You want to make a unique contribution to the world.
You want to have some fun, enjoy the relationships in your life and maybe even find the time and energy for a long forgotten dream or the travel you’ve always wanted to do.
Sound impossible? Sometimes the demands of your busy life - like your career, raising children, caring for elderly parents or managing your household – leave you asking, “Is this all there is?”
|
You’ve been known to burn the candle at both ends. You’re tired of running on too much caffeine, too much adrenaline and too little sleep.
Maybe you’ve said yes to way too many things and have said no to yourself for far too long. Maybe you’ve made promises to yourself (or to the other important people in your life) and had difficulty keeping them.
Maybe you’ve even earned your Ph.D. in stress – you’re pooped, you’re harried and you’re distracted.
Maybe you’re just tired of being tired. According to the National Sleep Foundation, 68% of us are suffering from a sleep deficit!*
Consider this. If almost 7 out of 10 of us are sleep walking through this experience called life, what would our world be like if we all got energized? What would your life be like if you were truly energized from the inside out?

“This program was absolutely inspirational! It hit so close to home that I was on the verge of tears several times. I feel empowered to make some changes in my life and feel that it’s ok to ‘take off my cape’ which I haven’t really done in nearly 40 years!”
Loretta S., Director of Operations, Dermatogy Practice, Fort Wayne, Indiana

Even if it is uncomfortable, it’s easy to keep moving down the same path. In other words, your life could stay exactly like it is now, unless you do something to change it (like register for Take Off the Cape and Soar).

What do We Know about Finding Balance and Getting Energized?
|
Take Off the Cape and Soar isn’t just another self-help program with a snappy title, it’s a life changing experience.
We should know.
You see, we know what it feels like to wear the cape, to always be the superhero. We did it when we worked for other companies and then we did it in our own business for eight long years.
We worked crazy schedules, putting in 70 or more hours week in and week out to rescue companies in financial distress, sometimes working fourteen or more days without a break.
Our friends and families waited on the sidelines for scraps of our time while we rushed on to the next deadline. The only question we asked ourselves was “what’s next?”
What did that earn us? Mountains of money and plenty of praise but little of anything else!
And then, the wake-up calls came.

Pam’s story:
I got really, really sick. My boundless energy and enthusiasm abandoned me, I was weak and a simple walk around the block left me dizzy, exhausted and trembling. My doctor thought I had M.S. Lucky for me, I didn’t – my body just refused to keep up with my insane and unrelenting demands.
| | Marci’s story:
I got not one, not two, but THREE wake-up calls in less than 6 weeks. First, like the rest of the country, I was shaken to my core by the events of 9/11. Then I was hospitalized with a severe allergic (cardiac) reaction to, of all things, a shot for an allergic reaction. Finally, my favorite Aunt Sylvia died instantly in a car-crash, reminding me that my family wouldn’t always be there waiting on me to finish up just one more project.
|
It was time to take a long, hard look at our business…and our lives. We started to apply the principles you’ll discover in Take Off the Cape and Soar. We took off our capes and now we have time for our families, our friends and adventures. We’ve both become more involved in our community. We cycle regularly – we have completed a 385-mile bicycle trip and cycled 100 miles in a single day. We’re doing work we love. We came back from our crises with more energy than ever before.
You don’t have to wait for a giant wake-up call. You can take a look at where you are right now and make some consciously thought out, life-changing decisions.
|
Marci and Pam combined the best of teaching, mentoring, support and life facilitation to help me identify ways in which I could make my life richer, more balanced and more consistent with the person I wanted to be. Their consistent encouragement helped me to embrace change and to take thoughtful risks... no small feat for someone who is accustomed to having everything controlled, safe and neat!"
Gail D., Florida Certification Board, Tallahassee, Florida

We’ve coached and trained hundreds of professionals just like you from around the country using the life-changing principles and strategies you’ll learn in Take Off the Cape and Soar. They’ve all appreciated the grown-up “time-out” to reflect, to build their energy reserves and to become more conscious in their daily habits. They’ve realized that they could make life-changing decisions:
-
Beth let go of her limiting beliefs and increased her confidence – leading to a new job with more responsibility AND money.
-
Susan found the courage to apply to a writers-in-residence program she had dreamed of for years. And yes, she was accepted!
-
Amy realized that she had both the resources and the time to take her family to England for the summer, something she and her husband dreamed about for years. She also quit a job that wasn’t fulfilling and is currently contemplating job offers as well as starting a consulting practice.

P.S. Turn your good intentions into reality – register now.
P.P.S. At the end of each coaching call with our clients, we ask them what was most valuable during the session. One of the answers we frequently hear is what a relief it is to be able to take one hour out of the week to focus on themselves and their personal and professional growth. Most of you spend every minute of your every waking hour focusing on everyone and everything else in your life. What if, by taking one hour each week to focus on you, you became an even better employee, parent, care-giver, volunteer or partner? What if by taking that one hour, you had more energy, not less? What if you had more to give, not less?

Okay, you skipped all the way to the end. Maybe you’re one of those bottom line type of folks. It’s okay, you don’t have to read every single word of this letter to get into the program but if you read through the letter, you’ll learn why this program is so important and why Marci and Pam are so passionate about you participating in the life changing experience.
