“People get stuck in areas where they have lots of things, but they’re not happy. And that’s where this “Second Mountain” idea comes in. Guess what the second mountain is made of? It’s made of community. It’s made of relationships. It’s made of service. It’s made of contribution. And those things seem to be the things that are directionally correct if you want to be fulfilled.”
~ Chris Cappy
For those who are entering a new stage in life – considering what’s next for their career, evolving relationships with partners, children, and friends, or facing new health challenges – it can be a time of questioning and seeking. But this is also a chance for reimagining the adventure that lies ahead and an opportunity to discover and define how you want to live a meaningful and conscious life.
This is an innovative workshop for the Feathered Pipe Ranch, bringing together a collaboration of Chris Cappy, Rhonda Waters and Matthew Lambie, specialists in the fields of leadership coaching, personal development, and sustainable finance, to help anyone attending, whatever his or her circumstances, to make sense of life’s changes. Using the extraordinary energy of the Ranch’s setting combined with practical tools and research-backed methods, this week is a chance to deeply reflect, reorient and renew your perspective and set in motion better ways to realize an (even) better life.
What you can expect to of this workshop:
— Your storyline… the highs, lows and learnings you’ve gained thus far;
— Greater clarity of your purpose and a stronger sense of direction to live into the (even) better life;
— A deeper understanding of the human energy system (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual energy) and strategies to help you manage and expand your energy capacity to enable high, sustainable performance in work and life – without sacrificing your health and happiness along the way;
— The TTI Talent Insights survey assessing your behaviors and motivators… the ‘owner-operator’ manual you may have never received;
— Hard research on the fundamentals of health… your food, rest, exercise and attitude… and better to best practices that support a truly healthier you;
— A full appreciation of what money is — and isn’t — it’s mechanics and it’s psychology. This will include plenty of ideas for linking your meaning and sense of purpose with what, for you, would be a truly satisfying livelihood;
— Practical ideas and tools and well researched approaches for leading change in your life;
— Opportunities to give to others from your own depth of experience in a peer supportive way;
— Real time practices and ways to reset and renew yourself when challenged with anything… to return to center whenever you need or want to;
— A ‘go forward’ plan with support mechanisms in place to follow you home post-workshop.
This workshop is for professionals, entrepreneurs, or anyone in significant transition… in other words, for all of us wondering how to live better while remaining true to ourselves. It is designed to be highly experiential, engaging, entertaining and quite practically useful to your journey, wherever you find yourself now.
