In connecting with Christine, I’ve met amazing people, dreamed bigger dreams and I want you in the Pond with me. Together, we can transform our lives, the lives of those we love, and the lives of those we touch. Please join me.

I want you to share your message, write your book, and launch your Individualized Empowerment Plan (IEP). (Finally, an IEP for Me!)

There’s a massive transformational event happening next week that is helping thousands of aspiring authors transform the world… through the power of the written word!

==> Check it out here! 

If you have you ever wanted to write, publish and market a life-changing book, you’ve got to see what my friend, Christine Kloser is up to! Thousands of people are already on board for this program (it starts on Monday), so you still have time to register and listen to ALL of the classes!

You’ll discover the 7-step system to transform your book “idea” into a published book – and a thriving business that impacts the world… and it won’t cost you a penny.

This is a rare opportunity to learn writing and publishing secrets from the world’s top authors and experts…

• Neale Donald Walsh – Author of “Conversations with God”
• Arielle Ford – Author of “The Soulmate Secret”
• Lisa Nichols – Author of “No Matter What”
• Barbara Marx Hubbard – Author of “Conscious Evolution”
• Reid Tracy – President and CEO of Hay House
• Marc Allen – Publisher of Eckhart Tolle’s “Power of Now”
• Bill Gladstone – Literary Agent for Eckhart Tolle and Neale Donald Walsch
• Dan Poynter – Author and Self-Publishing Expert
• Sandy Powell – President of Hay House’s Balboa Press
• And many more!

Get the details …

==> Here!

PLUS:

When you register, you’ll also discover how you can enter the Transformational Author Writing Contest and perhaps BE the next great transformational author! (I entered and won one of the 29 wonderful prizes last year! In the last year, I have participated in Christine’s Mastermind group and it has been awe-inspiring and transformational to say the least!)

You could win…

* Guaranteed agency representation by Bill Gladstone (Eckhart Tolle and Neale Donald Walsch’s agent)…

* Personal review of your book proposal (and consideration for a traditional publishing contract) by Marc Allen, President and Publisher of New World Library…

* Publishing packages with Hay House’s Balboa Press…

* And much more!

So, if you’ve ever wondered how YOUR idea can become the next great transformational book…

If you love the thought of getting your book proposal hand-delivered to the publisher who made Eckhart Tolle famous…

Or felt frustrated you’re not impacting more people and making more money as an author (or soon-to-be author)…

This program may be the answer to your prayers!

I hope you’ll see the miracle of this invitation showing up in YOUR inbox today.

And, I trust you’ll accept this gift and choose to pursue your dream of becoming a successful, transformational author (and entrepreneur).

Everything you need to know is in this program, and it’s FR*EE… so you have nothing to lose and your DREAM to gain!

===> Your Dream Can Be Realized Here!

I look forward to “seeing” you there!

To your success and with my appreciation,

Doreen

PS – Just think – you can get the best education available for author from the best teachers in the industry… for free!

All the details will be emailed to you as soon as you register!

We just opened the doors to “An IEP for Me!” Coaching Circle.

Check it out here - An IEP for Me!

For the last few weeks, my mind has been going a 100 miles an hour as I think about what it really means to have your own Personal Empowerment Plan.

If you remember Sandra and I shared the idea of “An IEP for Me!” After it became clear to us that:

You are concerned about your future and your child’s future too;

• You are concerned that your child is not prepared for the transitions ahead;
• You are exhausted, frustrated and immobilized;
• You wonder if this is just another transition or a never ending road;
• You are losing your hopes, your dreams and your determination to move forward

…and the list goes on.

For years we have been on a mission to empower Special Needs Families and to help them live better lives.

We want all Special Needs Families to have Villages that offer them excellent resources, information and support – their own Oasis of Hope.

There are too many exhausted, frustrated and burned out parents, advocates and caregivers. We know we can’t fulfill our mission on our own and we know there isn’t enough time to do individual coaching (plus there is a benefit to sharing with a like-minded community).

What’s Coming Your Way with “An IEP for Me!” Group Coaching Circle

 We’ll help you to:

Sandra and Doreen

(Note #1: I HIGHLY recommend that you carefully read ALL of this.)

(Note #2: This post isn’t a “public post” and I really don’t want the rest of the Internet to see this. So I’d be super grateful and relieved if you didn’t share this post on Twitter or your blog or Facebook.” Thanks

I’m hoping you have time today for a heart-to-heart conversation. I think it’s time. In fact, it might be overdue.

I’m talking about a GOOD heart-to-heart (NOT the kind of heart-to-heart people have before they breakup or something… This is the opposite of that kind of conversation).

Something great has been brewing (but brewing nonetheless)

Sandra, Tara and I have been working with Moms, Special Educators and Advocates for several years now…

And even though we’ve been asked to do a group coaching program that would enable the participants to create their own Individualized Empowerment Plans, we haven’t done it yet.

We’ve been hesitant for a while.

We were concerned that we didn’t have time or that there wasn’t enough need or dozens of other insignificant excuses.

But each of us kept hearing that you needed more.

We heard that you needed an Oasis of Hope and Support…

And that was why a few weeks ago I asked you if you would be interested in participating in something that would go deeper than just comments on our blogs.  And Tara and Sandra asked their villages too.

And (lo and behold) between email, blog comments, etc. We’ve received a ton of responses from people all over the country!

Every time we’ve written a blog post about possibly creating “An IEP for Me!” Coaching Program we have received extremely positive responses.

We thought we were dreaming, we really didn’t anticipate responses like these.

But what surprised me the most was how much the responses impacted me on a personal level.

I just didn’t anticipate that all this would have a deep and profound impact on me emotionally.

Your surge of support is encouraging, exciting, inspiring, overwhelming, humbling and even a bit scary.

And for the first time in a long time, I got REALLY excited about something new. But in the midst of the range of emotions WE WERE ALL feeling about this, I never felt intimidated.

Back when all of the responses started pouring in, I never felt intimidated

How I came to feel intimidated…

A few weeks ago I asked everyone interested in “Finally, An IEP for Me!” to fill out a survey.

Again I received detailed, lengthy, thoughtful, and amazing responses.

It was looking at these survey responses that intimidated me. Looking at these responses helped me realize the immensity of what we’re about to do. I got intimidated because I’ve never found anything like what we’re about to do. Anywhere. I don’t think it exists.

So there’s no rule book, etc.

You said you wanted:

• Support, Help, and a Caring Circle in which to Explore Options
• Help, Support and Hope in Confronting a Challenging Transition
• To Let Go of Limiting Beliefs, Fears and Worries
• To Give Voice to your Unspoken Dreams
• To Gain Clarity, Collaboration and Support for your Direction and Actions
• To Be Given a Proven Step by Step formula to launch your Individualized Empowerment Plan; and
• To Step into the Life you Were Meant to Live as the Empowered Role Model!

And I understand, I think you need these things too.

Sandra, Tara and I know this isn’t going to be a little side project (although it will be really special).

We know that this is going to be so much bigger than we had originally imagined.

We realized that, if this is going to really REALLY work, then this is going to be more than just a fun project to think about and get excited about…

… That we’re going to need to cancel some plans, reorganize our schedules, and stop doing some of the other things we were doing for a few months.

It also hit us that our reputations will be on the line in a much bigger way than they have been before.

We also realize that creating the IEP for Me Group Coaching Program and pulling together the support and resources we will need won’t be dirt cheap to run or attend.

This will be an undertaking for all of us because we’re not just talking about a few blog posts here. We’re talking about a very comprehensive, all-inclusive program.

What It All Comes Down To…

• We are 100% committed when it comes to this work.
• It’s very important to us that you get the results you want and need; that you are truly empowered.
• If we create “Finally, An IEP for Me!” we can’t go halfway with this. It’s all the way or not at all.
• We want this program to be the first and highest quality group coaching program out there.
• Hands down.

Here’s the part where we have a heart-to-heart:

Creating your own Individualized Empowerment Plan will be a journey and learning process for you.

But this journey will be a learning process for us as well.

We will need to hone in on what is most useful to you and how to best help and mentor you (so that you are empowered and truly create your own plan).

The very first participants of the IEP for Me Group Coaching Program (Exciting!)

When we OFFICIALLY open the doors for the “Finally, An IEP for Me!” Group Coaching Program , we want to have all the kinks worked out.

We want to ensure that our online curriculum has been carefully crafted from the ground up to meet your needs, that our online Oasis of Hope and Support works without a hitch (and that the contents, tools and resources are easily available), that the teleseminar service we use for the sessions meet all the needs that might crop up. And on and on and on.

When “Finally, An IEP for Me!” officially opens, we want to make sure that everything works as well as possible.

How Can You Benefit from This?

• It will help you form a circle of support for this transition and for all the transitions to come;
• It will put you on firm footing as you confront the myriad of responsibilities you face as a parent, educator or advocate of students with different abilities; and
• You will be given an opportunity to acknowledge your abilities, to affirm your values, and to validate your goals.

We are considering offering an initial limited group access to “An IEP for Me!” for 50 % off the eventual price. These participants will make up the first Coaching Circle of “An IEP for Me!”

Here’s the Trade-off…

As members of the first “An IEP for Me!” Coaching Circle, we’ll want extra feedback and participation from you. We want you to give us lots of input on the content and how it is delivered (live versus recorded for example), what content you would like us to spend more or less time on, and let us know as soon as possible if there is an online technological problem (and then be patient with us as we work to get it fixed quickly).

As part of the first “An IEP for Me!” Coaching Circle, we’ll want your thoughts on our online learning environment, we will want you to use the forum (Facebook group) consistently and often, to fill them with your questions and your successes. We’ll probably have additional surveys as well. In other words we’d like you to be sort of a virtual advisory “focus group” to help this program be the very best it can be.

And in Exchange for This, You’ll Get 50 % Off The Final Price

Oh yeah, you will also get special first “An IEP for Me!” Coaching Circle status which will come with its own perks, like discounts on future products, classes and seminars.

Are you POTENTIALLY interested in becoming one of the first 30?

At this point, we’re not looking for commitments (after all we haven’t even told you what the price will be nor have we decided it)…

… But if you’re *potentially* interested in becoming a part of the First “An IEP for Me!” Coaching Program”, then Email Me

Let me know that:

1. You’re interested, and

2. How much you think the program should cost when we officially open the doors (remember, you get 50% off this eventual price).

If we decide to proceed with this first An IEP for Me Coaching Program, then I will be sending you the details in the next few days.

Stay tuned,

Doreen
