The Challenge:

No matter how hard you try,

it seems it's not enough.

You are a dedicated educator, leader, mental health provider, parent or active community member.

You go above and beyond to show up and care for others.

You've drawn on everything in your toolbox, read the books, tried the strategies and learned about self-care.

And yet, the day-to-day demands of your work leave you feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, discouraged and out of balance.

If you care for our young people, you are watching young people struggle - distracted, dis-regulated, and…not really learning.

As a community member, you are witnessing adults in your community polarized by differing beliefs and struggling to take effective action for the collective good.

As a leader or business owner, you may be dis-enchanted by outdated top down, productivity driven work cultures and want to find another way. 

Inspite of all the effort you make, perhaps you don’t feel supported or appreciated and maybe you are even questioning if you can stick with this calling that you once chose with a sense of purpose....So many challenges and so many questions. What to do?

Something has to shift… This isn’t sustainable. What do you need?

First, you need space to acknowledge your experience and appreciate your real effort and recognize your true needs.

Next, you need to figure out your authentic pathways to reconnect with yourself.  It would be a game changer if you could recenter and reset, even on those crazy, button pushing days!

You’d love a different way to understand and respond to others when there are misunderstandings, underlying tensions, and even overt conflict…so you could work together to address the real issues you all face, rather than against each other.

You need a practical approach to support young people, colleagues and community members through the challenges and changes of life - a tool  that responds to the unique characteristics and context of each person - not a just cookie cutter list of things to say or do.

And in your wildest dreams, you wonder if there might be a fundamentally different way for everyone to show up in school and work life, a new way to be amidst all you do.  For this, you’d be “all in” for a fresh paradigm to get what really makes us tick and how we can collaborate for the greater good.

Deep down you still care deeply about your profession and need hope that there is a way to come together to restore what is precious and essential at the heart of your vocation.

Would you believe it if you discovered that right now you are reading about a workshop series that actually delivers this paradigm shift, this new way of being you are looking for? Because, you are!

TESTIMONIALS: What do program graduates say?

This is not a formula, a list, or a quick-fix solution. It is deep. I appreciate the unique and powerful keys it gives us to address our core challenges and fundamental needs. It offers healing for trauma, calm for dysregulated students, renewal for stressed educators, and a vision of hope that our schools can truly be joyful places for our next generation of leaders.

P.A.U.S.E.™ is a phenomenal method for any kind of community. I work with Self-Leadership in businesses, and I am impressed how fast it connects people, untangles blockages and solves conflicts. It's a gift to the world- and very much needed!
