THE AUTHENTIC LIVING WORKSHOP
Video Introduction

COURSE OBJECTIVES:  Participants in the Authentic Living Workshop will experience real transformation in their way of being, experiencing their authentic selves in a way that provides the life-changing spark needed to start living from that higher place.


authentic (ô-then'tik)  adjective
true, real or genuine
   Kernerman English Multilingual Dictionary. K Dictionaries Ltd.

Imagine life as you wish it to be.  Imagine the sights, the sounds, the colors, the richness, the relationships, the beauty, the joy – the details of a life worth celebrating.  Play in this world for just a bit.  Dance in this world.  Breathe it in.  Drink in the details of a life lived fully, with complete self-expression.  And as you do so, know deep within your heart that this is not a dream or fantasy, but rather, that this is life as it was meant to be lived.  For life was meant to be a dance of joyful creation.  Life was meant to fulfill the dreams of your youth.


Look within yourself, and what do you see?  You see a person who loves.  A person desiring beauty.  A person who is naturally self-expressive.  A person who desires to make their life on this earth matter.  A person who wishes to contribute to others.  How do we know?  We know because these are the qualities that are inside each of us.  This is what makes us human. 


You are being invited to participate in an Authentic Living Workshop.  And you are being offered a very special gift if you do so – the gift of yourself.  The Authentic Living Workshop is offering you a reminder of that whom you have always been, and the freedom to then choose how to show it to others.  The Authentic Living Workshop is designed to offer you an opportunity to take these wonderful qualities of authenticity, that may have been tucked away for safe-keeping, back out where they belong, in such a way that you leave the course having experienced true transformation in your way of being, experiencing your authentic self in a way that provides the life-changing spark that allows you to start living from that higher place. 


The Authentic Living Workshop is designed to create finders from seekers.  It is designed to remind you of all that which you already know.  For you see?  We come into this world as a perfect being, as all children do.  And then life comes at us, and we may end up feeling a bit less than perfect.  But you are just as perfect today as you were on the day of your birth.  It’s just that some of us may have forgotten.


At an Authentic Living Workshop you will be invited to play boldly.  You will be invited to examine some truths.  You will be invited to laugh and have fun.  And you are being invited to use the  Authentic Living Workshop to remind you of who you are, to then apply that authenticity to all areas of your life.


At an Authentic Living Workshop, you will be participating in a series of deeply reflective, highly experiential exercises and activities designed to

•    Have you experience the difference between your Authentic Self and your Conditioned Mind

•    Remind you of the strengths you already have

•    Allow you to experience the joy of authenticity, as well as to understand what may have stopped you from fully living authentically in the past

•   Strengthen your ability to express yourself fully

•    Empower you to be at cause in your experience

•    Provide real-life tools to allow you to continue living life authentically, enhancing your success and satisfaction in all areas of life. 


As you read these words, trust your heart.  Listen to that inner voice.  Be willing to step out of your comfort zone, and allow your heart to lead the way. Your heart knows the truth.  And boldness is always rewarded. And taking action is always the first step in making your desires real.  For life is indeed a world of untold possibilities.  The only limits are those you set for yourself in response to the lessons you were taught.  You have the ability to turn possibilities into certainties.  All that is required is Authentic Living.

 



THE AUTHENTIC WORKPLACE
Video Introduction

COURSE OBJECTIVES:  Participants in the Authentic Workplace Workshop will experience real transformation in their way of being as it applies to their work environment, experiencing their Authentic Selves in a way that provides the life-changing spark needed to start fully applying that authenticity in the fulfillment of their work-related responsibilities. 


If you, or your employees, could create the perfect work experience, what would it be like?


If you, or your employees, could choose to work with the perfect colleagues and/or clients, who would they be?

If you, or your employees, could perfectly fulfill work-related responsibilities, how would that feel and how would all benefit?

If you, or your employees, knew you, or they, already had all the tools needed to achieve all that and more, would you use them?  Would they?

And if these tools were used by all in your workplace, how productive and fulfilled would you and your staff be, and how much satisfaction would all receive?


At an Authentic Workplace Workshop, you and your staff will be participating in a series of deeply reflective, highly experiential exercises and activities designed to


• Have participants experience the difference between their Authentic Selves and their Conditioned Minds, and see the impact that distinction has on the work experience. 

•  Remind participants of strengths already in place

•   Allow participants to experience the joy of authenticity, as well as to understand what may have stopped them from fully expressing such authenticity in the workplace. 


•   Strengthen the ability of participants to express themselves in the fulfillment of their work-related responsibilities, and overcome perceived limitations

•   Empower participants to be at cause in their work experience

•  Provide real-life tools to apply to the workplace, to allow participants to continue working authentically, enhancing their success and satisfaction in all areas of life. 



 
The Authentic Workplace takes the basic principles taught in the Authentic Living Workshop, and customizes them to address the unique needs of your particular workplace and the needs of participants in your particular workshop.  Course fee includes a private consultation with Jude Smith to personalize the structure of your event.

If you could create the perfect teaching experience, what would it be like?

If you could choose to teach the perfect children, who would they be?

If you could be the perfect teacher, how would that feel?

If you knew you already had all the tools you needed to achieve all that and more, would you use them?

And if you used them, what magic could you produce?


At an Authentic Classroom Workshop, you will be participating in a series of deeply reflective, highly experiential exercises and activities designed to

•   Remind you of the strengths you already have

•   Remind you of the difference you already make

•   Remind you of the impact that understanding has on the kids you already teach

•  Leave you with the tools needed to positively affect classroom practices and the desire and confidence to use them.



 The Authentic Classroom takes the basic principles taught in the Authentic Living Workshop, and customizes them to address the unique needs of a classroom teacher.  For Henry Brooks Adams said is best when he said that teachers affect eternity, for they can never tell where their influence stops.  And just by being you, and by doing what you do naturally, you are that force of eternal influence.  The question is, will you be that force by accident, or will you be a powerful force of eternal influence by masterfully and intentionally allowing your light to shine fully, thereby giving permission for your students to do the same?  The Authentic Classroom Workshop is designed to empower you to do just that.
