After years of training our teams that they are “on stage,” I believe that we need to take them beyond that. Coach them to become real, NOT actors. In this workshop, I introduce the concept of inviting and welcoming a guest into your own home. To make our guests feel comfortable, we must be present for their needs. In order to do this, we must develop our ability to be present and mindful and to know when we are not.
This is a workshop for anyone who has direct client contact. This experience will address their ability to remain open, present and mindful. Being on stage does not speak to these skills. When playing a role, there remains a sense of living mechanically. Being open and present requires an increased awareness of all aspects of self, including body, heart and mind. The skills developed in this workshop Increase the sense of awareness and aliveness. We become REAL and engaged.
The workshop is interactive. It will begin with exercises that inform the individual whether or not they are comfortable with being present. It will address whether they can remain present while receiving and sending “energy” with a guest. This is the basic “give and take” of all true communication. This depth of connection is disappearing in our technical society.
Simple meditation techniques will be introduced especially those that connect us to our inner sensations. Tuning into and trusting these inner sensations is how we develop intuition or inner wisdom. This class will teach the basic skills required to access this information. We all have it. We need to learn the skills to access it.
Instead of living in our heads, we will learn how to reference from the internal sensations that inform our intuition. We will learn to recognize the messages from our “gut” and heart. We all have heard the phrase; it was a “gut reaction.”
There will be exercises that introduce ways to use and trust this information to remain grounded and totally present.
This workshop works with our inner state so that it can better guide us through the external conditions. When we learn to be grounded and present and are able to hold that space, we create a safe and comfortable space, a home, for our guests. They can feel our interest and begin to resonate with it.
