Connect With Others to Realize Your Authentic Potential If you don’t know this about me already, I’m a big proponent of the mastermind process, described by Napoleon Hill as: “The coordination of knowledge and effort, of two or more people, who work toward a definite purpose, in the spirit of harmony.” In fact, my first group of this type impacted my life so dramatically I wrote a book (Six Degrees to Your Dreams, available on the products & services page) to teach people, step by step, how to form their own mastermind group or, as I say, “Wishweavers Circle.” In the absence of a full blown group, having just one Wish-Weaving partner can be pivotal in helping you move into your authentic potential. (I wrote two full blog posts on this topic back on February 2 and February 9, 2015 – check them out!) In June I joined forces with a new Wish-Weaving partner myself and simply cannot recommend the process highly enough. Tatiana and I have been meeting by phone every couple of weeks since June 12 and typically check in via email on the alternate Friday when we don’t speak. It didn’t take long for the mastermind magic to kick in. In our very first phone call, as Tatiana described some prioritization difficulty she’d been experiencing, I got an intuitive sense of energetic clutter and mentioned this to her. Keep in mind I’ve never even been to her home in Ashland – we met close to three years ago at a conference in Seattle. Yet as it turns out, she had been wanting to declutter, down-size and re-organize, and began doing so after our phone call. The day she told me she’d pulled the recycling bin, three quarters full with duplicate paperwork she didn’t need, out to the curb – I wanted to throw her a party. The day I mentioned my concerns about broaching the topic of owning our greatness with my acting students in class, she helped me re-frame it to see I was actually falling into the trap of not owning my greatness! And that I could use this example in my presentation. (Which my students, by the way, loved.) Tatiana told me about her frustration surrounding incomplete and unprofessional feedback she received, and she was the first person (after my partner, George) with whom I shared my disappointment in having to cancel a class due to insufficient registration. When I asked for feedback on a nearly completed Authenticity Model manuscript, she provided concrete suggestions which made for a more reader-friendly document. She has told me she appreciates the way I help her see things differently. We commit to goals and next steps with other, provide and receive insights, ideas and feedback, and – perhaps most importantly of all – we help each other celebrate our successes. If you want to know how to start your own Wishweavers circle or partnership, remember – I wrote the book! And I’m all ears if you have any questions. Authentically Yours, Laura
