Growth Groups
As an alternative to individual coaching, Penny also conducts Growth Groups for women. While the purpose of the Growth Groups is the same as that of personal coaching, the format and cost differ. Growth Groups are for women who choose to take time out of their busy schedules to plan, to think and to journey with one another – "to live life well."
Growth Groups meet for one year and include:
- Seven day-long retreats (10am – 3pm)
- Binder with materials, tools, assessments, recommended reading, etc.
- E-mail support and contact between sessions
- An opportunity to commit to a small group of women, learn from them, and support and challenge one another
Each session includes:
- A day away at the beautiful Harbourview Retreat
- Time set aside to think, to plan, to review the past and plan the next steps toward your future
- Teaching and discussion on specific topics (see below)
- Appropriate accountability relationships
- Fabulous lunch and discussion around the table
- Opportunity to grow alongside other women: to share stories, successes and roadblocks
Typical Calendar:
- 4 retreat days from January to June
- 3 retreat days from September to early December
- Regular contact with accountability partners
Possible Topics:
Each retreat day, Penny teaches and leads on specific topics such as…
- Assessing the now and visioning the future - taking stock of where you are and where you want to go in the coming year as it relates to family, work, health, finances, relationships, faith etc.
- Uncovering your mission - developing your own personal mission statement or life focus.
- Financial finesse - it is not about how much you have but how you manage what you have.
- Clearing the clutter - whether it is clutter in your mind, your home or your office clearing it out will give freedom and open opportunities.
- Relationship tune-up - children, parents, friends, co-workers, partner – focusing on whichever relationships need a little extra thought and attention.
- Unleashing your dreams – uncovering dreams so well hidden that even you may fail to recognize them.
- Welcoming change and transition – naming the change inhibitors in your life.
- Taming your gremlin - looking at negative self talk and the influence it has upon our lives.
- What drives you? - becoming aware of the values you hold and using them to motivate and access your passions.
How do I join and how much does it cost?
You can start up a Growth Group by coordinating your own group of 8 women. Cost will be significantly reduced for the coordinator of the group. Or you can email Penny with your interest, set up an interview and be placed in a suitable group.
The cost of participation in a Growth Group is $1000 for one year. The total may be paid at one time or divided up into four equal payments throughout the year.
