The Flying Amazon

Flying-Amazon

It’s a bird. It’s a plane. No, it’s me…the flying Amazon.

Last spring I had the great fortune to attend a Leadership Team Building event, sponsored by Quattro University on something called a “ropes” course. I had no idea what was in store for me that day, and what I experienced set in motion a chain of events that has empowered me.

High above the earth (tall even for me!), on numerous occasions, I confronted choice. Many times that day there was a symphony running around my head about whether I was up for this challenge. The William Tell Overture Canons were my old beliefs, booming in the background. “No Lauren, you’re not ready to do this, you’re not wanted or good enough.” Step by step, I crawled out onto thin wire to find balance and strength. Support came from my teammate Jeff. It’s amazing how our upbringing, culture and past experiences rule our little pea brains. That day was a paradigm shift for me. Who decided I wasn’t good enough?… Me.

As it turns out, it wasn’t true…I was more than good enough! With the help from instructor Andi Burgis, I leapt to new beliefs. Now, I have a much better perception of where that bar is and beyond, captured in the pictures here.

Are you ready to fly? On Saturday November 21, 2009 we’ll grow together. Please come with me to see Andi Burgis. She’s the guest instructor at Quattro’s Pivot Point, a half day workshop from 9am-1:00pm here in Orange County.

Please note that this is NOT a ropes course. We’ll be in the classroom only!

Please email me for more info.
