"Choose the Life you Live, and Live the Life you choose." Mariane Karou
Take Charge Now is a ground-breaking, interactive, body-mind life training program that teaches you how to become the leader of your life. Leadership is the result of training and practice.
This ongoing year round program is designed to incrementally assist you in expanding your capacity in every area of your life. Take Charge Now is a training that teaches you to use your mind and body as a unit, rather than valuing one over the other. Through the communication between thought, feeling, and sensation, coherency occurs and aligned action follows. This is not about using will, force and mind over matter to achieve results.

Take Charge Now teaches you how to learn by using the right and left hemispheres of your brain optimally. As you increase your ability to learn, your results accelerate tremendously.
This cutting edge system grounds each new step of awareness into practical action. The results are evident in your confidence and effectiveness in every aspect of your life.
In Take Charge Now, you'll be guided to build your strengths and develop your areas of challenge.
TCN teaches you how to:
As you learn to skillfully face your challenges, you gain more freedom, because you live the life you choose as opposed to being a victim of the life that you have.

This extraordinary training is a fully enlivening experience! What holds us back from moving forward in life with confidence and joy are the many doubts, judgments and criticisms we have about ourselves, as well as a lack of clarity about what our actual capacity is in any given area, and what action needs to be taken in any given moment. Were thinking one thing and our body is doing another; were living one way and wishing for another. Our general direction and intention may be clear, however, our moment to moment decisions often lack commitment and enthusiasm and a sense of balance and connection to the whole.
Take Charge Now teaches you how to be the leader of your life. Leading with balance requires being grounded in your physical body so that you are in touch with what you know and dont know, can and cant do, and are able to act with certainty based on being fully anchored in yourself and your environment. Take Charge Now teaches you how to align your thoughts, feelings and actions so that you fully embody yourself in each moment. This creates a powerful, permeating presence.
This course gives you the hands-on training to be able to align with yourself while relating to others, so that you learn how to access and do what is in your best interest amidst the flow of life. Relating is a moment to moment experience. Take Charge Now teaches how to think quickly and clearly on your feet, as you receive and give input in relationship with others and the world around you. It provides a fun and highly supportive environment in which each person is respected and encouraged to take their next step, with their own unique timing, and everyone learns from one another. You walk out of class filled with greater insight and the practical ability to put into play what you learn, so you continually expand your capacity to take charge of every area of your life.
A powerful and richly enjoyable process!

#2: Partnership with Group
This workshop provides exceptional experience in being able to align with your own gender. Women are often competitive and judgmental of others. They go to each other for support, but often lack the skills to be able to truly assist each other because they were never taught how to do so. This healthy environment will give women the skills to listen to and align with their own nature and be supportive champions of other women. Women have the need for connection and instinctively seek it in relationship. Out of this need, women often join in or interfere with anothers emotions and experience, not separating whose feelings are whose. This workshop guides you into maintaining a connection with yourself, being empathetic with another, and remaining separate, which allows you to listen to and guide other women. This is the kind of support that women need. It takes allowing feeling, self management, evaluation and looking at what is truly in anothers best interest to do this. It is well worth the investment to be able to build healthy relationships with other women. Women learn how to be women by being around women, not men. **Its important for women to take the time with other women to build themselves. Taking Charge of your life is possible when you use your resources around you. Other women are excellent resources when they are skilled, caring and wise. This workshop trains you how to be the wise woman that you truly are.

The Take Charge Now 5-Day Intensive
is an intensive leadership program that enables you to facilitate yourself and others with dynamic power and refined sensitivity. This exceptional, stimulating and innovative training cultivates your leadership and relationship skills, so you can fully embody, communicate, team play and inspire others to participate in life. To lead with integrity requires you firstly become a team with yourself. A great leader has the ability to be their own coach and on their own team. Only in this way can a leader actually lead others with integrity as they have developed the inspiration to lead and the discipline to follow. Once you can lead yourself, then you can lead others. Successfully leading others requires you to team play with others. It requires learning to guide, direct, monitor, evaluate and course correct based on the feedback you receive. It also requires you pay attention to the developmental level and skill sets of those you are leading. This attentive leadership requires you to be sensitive, responsive and in charge so that others feel safe and challenged in your presence. As you increase these leadership skills, you learn to align your body language, emotions, attitude, speech and actions. As your body, words and actions are aligned, you are clear and believable to others. This clarity creates trust in your guidance and likewise your belief in others, inspires their belief in themselves. This quality of leadership is genuine and authentic. Whether or not someone agrees with you or wants to join in with you is irrelevant, because the communication itself is clear and the belief is strong. Then someone can choose whether or not they want to join you. When you give others that choice, they take responsibility for their actions and are successful in whatever they take on. Take Charge Now is about taking charge of yourself, not others. As you take charge of yourself, others naturally join in as they are ready and inspired to. This training is extremely powerful and effective. All you need is to be ready to take your next step. Date: May 29 - June 2These basic skills can be utilized personally and/or professionally.
