Meeting dates include: September 15, October 20, November 17, December 15, February 9, March 16, April 13 and May 18, 9 a.m. – noon each day. The series includes two day-long retreats: Saturday, January 8 & June 11, 9 a.m. – 8 p.m. each day. Meetings will be held at Joan’s home in Aliso Viejo.
Joan observed, “We all have ‘comfort zones.’ We have comfort foods, comfort clothes, comfort friends. We feel comfortable and familiar, safe and secure in our comfort zone. To pursue our PASSION, we have to be willing to do what is UNCOMFORTABLE…until it becomes comfortable. We have to jump, stretch, expand, reach and – go full out. There are countless stories of wildly successful CEO’s and leaders who lived their passion: Starbucks, IHOP, Ebay. And there are personal victories of people with MS who live in wheelchairs, but swim daily in the ocean! All passionate. All immersed in action.”
