Shame permeates our lives, our families, our vocations, our businesses, our faith communities and our nations.

This course is designed to equip you to live bigger, live freer and successfully live braver individually and in a team. It will provide you with essential keys to building powerful skills to live courage.

I was doing this training live recently. At the end of the training, a lady came up to me and with a huge smile on my face said to me, “I get it!! I know what is happening around me now and I know what the glass ceiling is that I have been hitting! I am free!! I know how to move ahead! Thank you!!”

Glass ceilings. We all hit it. Be it in our careers, our businesses, our connection with God and others.

Shame is a glass ceiling that locks us in, tells us to live small and not show up. It cripples us, our families, our faith communities, our businesses, our sporting clubs and entire nations.

By the end of this experiential course you will understand and have more skills in living a lifestyle of courage in the context of shame culture. You will be able to identify how shame works with you, how it is outworking around you, be it in business, your family, your faith communitiy.

You will enjoy experiencing more movement in every aspect of your life.

This course is life changing! It will lift you emotionally, relationally & spiritually to a new level and discover greater freedom.

WHAT IS THIS?

This course is empowering and life giving. One staff member of a local business, stood up at the end of a live training and declared "Now I know what's been limiting me!I am free!!" Several weeks later I bumped into her spouse, and he said to me "I can't believe what has happened to my wife! This course of yours has set her so free, I can't get the smile off her face!"

This is a safe, sacred place where your learning is yours. Your answers are yours and they are not monitored or recorded in anyway.

The central purpose of this practical and empowering course is to aid you in developing self awareness, resilience and confidence in living, loving and leading through connection, authenticity and courage. You will finish this course understanding what is the biggest disconnect in relationships, your life goals and community experience.

How toBuild Powerful Shame Resilience and Cultures of Honor is the third foundation stone of building courage as a life style and is part of the Living Courage Series. This training series is designed to build onto each other creating a deeper more comprehensive understanding and development of the skills and lifestyle of courage.

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT and WHERE DOES THIS FIT WITH FAITH?

After the Prophet Samuel anointed and proclaimed Saul as King over Israel, it records that "Samuel then explained to the people the behaviour of royalty and wrote it in book and laid it up before the Lord." (1 Samuel 10:25)

I believe that partnering with Jesus to see His Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven, is to become more aware of our royal identity and His! Understanding how shame and honor work on our identity and the culture each creates is not only essential, but empowering for change. The Kingdom of Heaven will be marked by honor in our lives and through our lives.

A leading Researcher on Shame, Brene Brown says, "We can't pretend this isn't getting in the way. I don't think we can say this is not happening in homes, in the nations we are living in right now. Shame has become part of the landscape and has become worse."

We are not going to build strong healthy counter culture faith communities without building resilience in shame and honor. Communities as with individuals, self destruct under the weight of our complex, demanding world without developing their resilience in the area of shame and who they are as people with value.

This is essential for your personal and professional development.
