OCTOBER 2013 MONTHLY MEETING
Date: October 10, 2013
Time: 7:00PM to 9:00PM
Special Interest Groups (SIGs) conducted before the general
meeting from 6:00 - 6:50pm.
Location: PPA Event Center, 2105 Decautur St, Denver, CO 80211
Speaker: TC North
Topic: "Fearless Coaches . . . Don't Let Fear
Destroy Your Dreams"
*CCEUs: TBD
Fear of failure, fear of selling and fear of
rejection and other fears will keep you from
attaining your dreams. However, mastering
fear will help make your dreams and your clients’ dreams come
true. Fearless coaches build extraordinary practices and teach their
clients the secrets of fearlessness, which rapidly enhance their
clients’ success. Fear blocks success. It blocks us from having what
we all want … happiness, great relationships and full coaching
practices.
In this experiential workshop, you’ll be engaged, entertained,
educated, uplifted and challenged by this fresh perspective on
mastering fear and applying the Fearless Leaders Success secrets
from the book I am co-authoring with New York Times best-selling
author Cathy Greenberg, titled Fearless Leaders™. You will learn
and engage with the Fearless Leaders success secrets, learn how to
live these secrets yourself and how to share them with your clients.
You’ll learn through the stories and success secrets learned from
world-class business leaders, athletes, special operations personnel
and humanitarians, and begin the mastery of each success secret
by engaging in specific techniques and exercises.

to reflect. Reflect on what we have created in our lives and what we intend to create for the rest
