You are what your deepest desire is.
As your desire is, so is your intention.
As your intention is, so is your will.
As your will is, so is your deed.
As your deed is, so is your destiny.
—The Upanishads

Join executive coach Carolyn Butcher and Dr. Marie Rodriguez for this series of personal transformation workshops devoted to getting you grounded, opening your heart, and clarifying your vision.
Each session includes practical tools and clues to look within, identify what limits you, re-direct your energy and attention, and apply balancing strategies for living from your heart’s desires and unique purpose.
Get Grounded. with Carolyn Butcher and Dr. Marie Rodriguez
Sun 10/3/2010 From 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
In our fast paced world, we often live from the ‘shoulders up’ - not feeling fully connected with our daily experience. Anxiety, memory, sleep issues are common complaints from this way of being, while a desire to be more grounded, fully present and connected to day-to-day experience are common wishes. In this session, you will learn to identify your ideal routine and flow, create balance in the body, ground and balance yourself to effectively manage stress and overcome ego challenges and self-sabotaging behaviors. Visualization, meditation, discussion and gentle movement exercises will be offered to support you in this practice of grounding and discovery.
Open Your Heart. with Carolyn Butcher and Dr. Marie Rodriguez
Sun 10/31/2010 From 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
A lifetime of sensitivity to life’s challenges, disappointments, and stress can teach us to shield our hearts for protection. We end up limiting ourselves from fully experiencing the richness that life has to offer and the beauty within. Create the space needed to turn away from the busy-ness, tune into your heart, and learn how self-love is the foundation for receiving balance, peace, and success on all levels. In this session, you will learn energetic and meditative exercises to transform limiting beliefs and inherited familial patterns as well as use inquiry, reflection, and movement exercises to open and re-connect to your heart.
The Sky’s the Limit. with Carolyn Butcher and Dr. Marie Rodriguez
Sun 11/7/2010 From 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Once you are fully committed and walking your life’s journey with an open heart, it is time to create possibilities and bring your brightest vision into being. In this session, you will learn to fully let go of self-limiting beliefs and step into and surrender to pure potential. Through the technique of visioning and tapping into the power of your subconscious, you will learn to draw on your creative potential and the support that is always available to you. You will learn to work with tools such as dream boarding and shamanic journeying for embodying and manifesting your dreams and gaining access to your highest self.
All sessions will be held at lil omm yoga - 4830 V Street, NW, Washington, DC 20007
Cost: $45 per class or $120 for all three

Executive Coach Carolyn Butcher and PR Expert Sarah Massey teamed up again in May to offer a two-session workshop for organizational leaders and business owners.
The teaching team offered a creative learning environment for writing your sales leadership story. Each workshop was held at the Affinity Lab, an entrepreneurial dream and action space on 920 U Street, NW in Washington, DC.
Workshop participants learned the fundamentals of crafting a business story of value, relevance, differentiation, and as a strategic resource.
In these master classes, participants learned the elements of sales storytelling and sharpened their ability to tell their business story to clients. The workshop leaders offered methods for engaging clients from the first interaction to final business results. Participants received tips, tools and time to identify strategies and steps to increase efficiency in business operations and practice telling their story in ways that delight and enhance the overall client experience.

Carolyn teamed up with Sarah Massey of Massey Media last spring to offer a three-session workshop for organizational leaders and business owners.
The teaching team offered a creative learning environment, bringing a combined experience of over 30 years in sales, marketing, and public relations for corporations and non-profits. Each workshop was held at the at the Affinity Lab, an entrepreneurial dream and action space on 920 U Street, NW in Washington, DC.
Workshop participants learned the fundamentals of storytelling for three distinct audiences: your team, your clients, and the press.
The workshop leaders shared this storytelling truth… How your audiences understand you can make the difference between winning a campaign, raising needed funds, and motivating your team to action. People want to be told stories, which means you have to craft your language and information in a way that is easy to hear. Participants walked away with increased confidence in telling their leadership story to audiences with heart and authentic voice.
