Joan Smith, founder and president of Leadership Consultants International, will present The Leadership Journey 2011: Passion, a series of monthly meetings September 2010 – June 2011, which offer professional coaching for a wide range of disciplines with an end goal of producing “unprecedented breakthrough results.” Meeting dates include: September 14, October 19, November 16, December 14, February 8, March 15, April 12 and May 17, 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.”
