Claim Your Life

"Claim your Life has been a gift of reflection and an act of blind faith and trust. I have received the support, direction and encouragement that have led me back to the path of my authentic self."

An Invitation from Chris…

This is the most transformative program offered by Strengths in Focus - a journey that changes everything. For less than the cost of a year of coaching, you get so, so much more. Imagine 4-5 people, much like you, excited about what is next in their lives (even if that is a mystery) and ready for an intensive year-long journey of transformation. A small group of insightful, enlightened people who become friends, mentors, supporters and "account-ability" partners, bound by their desire to live with vitality and joy, fully alligned with who they really are. And each step along the way, I will be crafting the experience for the unique individuals involved. 

Claim Your Life is an extraordinary opportunity to move forward in the most profound and tangible ways, with group support & accountability; guided learning, insights & action, and individual coaching from me. You will move past old patterns, inner critics and habitual thinking to become the joyful co-creator of your own life.  The best part is that you will not be alone. You will learn from others in the group, support and inspire each other, and hold each other accountable. We'll use simple web-based video meeting technology that allows us to see and hear each other, and even share materials online in real time, almost as if we were sitting in the same room. 

Would you like to talk to someone who is currently participating in a Claim Your Life group?
Just contact me and I will introduce you via email.

In the first 4-6 weeks, you will...

• Attend a 2-hour online introductory seminar with me to meet the group and lay the foundation of concepts that will shape this journey.
• Complete the Gallup Strengthsfinder profile. (The book, StrengthsFinder 2.0, and the profile, is included, free of charge.)
• Complete the Strengths in Focus (SIF) Claim Your Life Profile, a specially designed set of materials and exercises to prepare you for our work together.
• Engage in 2-3 individual coaching sessions with me to help clarify your focus and ideal outcomes.
• Join the private Claim Your Life website.
  

Each month thereafter, we will meet 2-3 times as a group and at least once for 1:1 coaching. You will experience:

• Learning seminars
• Group coaching sessions
• Mastermind-style sessions
• 1:1 coaching with me
• Account-Ability sessions with peers
• Lots of discussion and sharing in the online forum and via Informal calls and emails with your peers and me

Additionally, I will send regular emails to help you on your journey, including audio and video downloads, meditations, stories, ideas, and concepts to help you stay motivated and focused, both in action and in quiet.

Claim Your Life FAQs (frequently asked questions)

Q:  How do I know if I am ready?
A:  The best way to know is to call me at 207-767-2024. I take great care to assure the best possible group dynamics and will be honest with you. Readiness is as much about willingness, insight and desire as it is about what you want and where you've been.  Are you ready to laugh, share, be held accountable for your promises and relish the ride? Then I welcome your call. You may be in the midst of a significant life transition - or not. You may be wanting to realize a dream or simply live more awake and engaed. You may be an old hand at personal growth, but have that I'm-oh-so-close-why-do-I-feel-so-far-away feeling. Great! You are welcome here.

Q:  My colleague/friend and I would like to do this together. Can we be each other's Account-Ability Partner?
A: Absolutely! 

Q:  What if I have to miss a group meeting or want to remember something we said in the session?
A: I imagine this will happen to everyone from time to time. All missed sessions will be recorded and available online.

Q:  Can I get CEU's for Claim Your Life?
A:  I will provide a signed Certificate of Participation showing evidence of continuing education hours. This will include seminars, individual and groups coaching sessions, and a time allocation for completion of program materials, for a total of 54 continuing education hours. Should you require this evidence prior to the end of the program, an hours-to-date certificate can be provided.
