WHAT YOU’LL GET

IN THIS RETREAT, YOU WILL HAVE A MOMENT TO PAUSE AND REFLECT:

What is my purpose now?
How do I truly lead my life from joy?
How can I access my own wisdom?
How do I find a peer group to support me to lead the way?

YOU WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO:

Tap into your innate capacity for joy
Create new confidence in your purpose
Discover how to get unstuck – so you can stay connected to your greatness
Co-create the steps to access your next level of leadership

BECOME A LEADER WHO:

Is sourced from joy rather than obligation
Values equity and mutual benefit over inequality and extraction
Sees each person as whole and not broken
Has faith in the wisdom of the body and intuition rather than in a culture of expertise
Encourages learning as a community, not alone
Celebrates the world as a living being to which we belong, not as a problem to be solved

WHAT YOU’LL DO

7 Essential Practices of How We Will Work Together

Practice #1
Dare to Know Our Heart’s Desire
We all know deep down what we are called to do. We can learn how to listen to, and be guided by, that voice. We practice trusting our inner compass, our intuition, our inner knowing.
Practice #2
Stay at the Edge of Our Courage
Break taboo. Show up with vulnerability. Feel new ways of being emerging. Create new patterns for ourselves and for our culture. Engage with the challenges of power, privilege and equity.
Practice #3
Transform Our Limiting Voices
Respond to self-doubt and criticism and welcome a new way of being, a new vision. Transform what prevents us from leading the life we want – be it grief, resentment, anxiety, shame, upper limits, attachments.
Practice #4
Be Messy, and Great, Together
In the old paradigm, learning is 1-1 or one to many. Here, we learn from each other by daring to show all parts of ourselves. What we are not proud of, and all that we deserve to be proud of.
Practice #5
Shift How We Use Time
Fewer to do lists. More connection. More of what brings you joy. Stop doing what you do not love. Risk asking for the support you need. Create a plan you believe in.
Practice #6
Create a Plan: Lead the Way
Change your patterns of time and support. Do what brings you joy. Stop doing what you do not love. Find the support you need. Create a plan you believe in.
Practice #7
Dance Our Leadership into Being
Literally. Let’s dance. Let’s be in our bodies. Let’s play. Let’s be outside. Let’s move our vision confidently into life.

about Fast Lane to Joy

Ade

It was so very valuable to see that several of the leaders in this world are being trained as coaches. So they can spread the message that we can all bring our brokenness to create wholeness.

Ade,
Senior Researcher, Stanford University

We did this important exercise about ‘Gatekeepers’, that is about identifying your own inner critic and inner ‘ friend’. That exercise really showed me how much my self-doubt holds me back. That is an old pattern and I am so done with that! I don’t want to self-sabotage myself anymore. I want to be big, bold and take up space! Now is my time!

Allison,
VP of HR

Todd

This workshop had so much dynamism. I have felt so many emotions, had so many insights, was free to express, felt so much tenderness. What was so amazing that there was a container where all of this was held. Nothing was wasted.
I am a coach myself, and to watch Mark and Patrick facilitate and show their mastery of the craft was really inspiring for me.

Todd,
Executive Coach

Grace

I was attracted to this workshop because of the title ‘ Fast lane to Joy’. I wanted more joy in my working and personal life. It’s so easy to talk about ‘wanting more passion’, but I had a hard time creating that myself.
This workshop really showed me how a community of likeminded people, and two amazing coaches can help me push me to the edge of my courage, and make joy and passion so much more attainable.

Grace,
CMO, Financial Services

Matt

My main take-away was about dealing with conflict. I was very impressed by how the workshop leaders understood people’s positions in a sensitive political discussion we had this weekend. I learned that the person is not the problem, the problem goes much deeper. That’s why it is important to find the root cause when people are in opposition, and check if there is a commonality that will help to solve the issue.

Matt,
Entrepreneur

Dona

As a wife and a mother of two young kids, this weekend was ideal for creating headspace to think about the life we are creating, so we can be very intentional about the choices we make as parents. To be leaders for our daughters. It was nourishing being surrounded by a community of people who are in a similar space, finding the joy of connecting with others.
To do this as a couple was beautiful. I felt like I was getting to know my husband again. And we learned a lot of new things about each other actually. I got to see the person again I fell in love with.

Dona and Vibhu,
Parents of two young kids
