The Journey To Reality

The intention in this meeting is to engage as a group in the essence of what it is to be ‘Enterprising Women’ in Dorset; to inspire, motivate and challenge each other to develop as women in business. 

A recent survey in the USA highlighted a growing revolution amongst professional women who were searching for “frequent new challenges that stretch and grow their ability to achieve; the opportunity to be flexible with their schedule; the chance to collaborate with other high achievers; recognition from their company; and freedom to be themselves.”  Taken from the book based on her research Marcia Reynolds¹ also says “when it comes to helping strong women make crucial choices… it is important to study their inner as well as their outer journey.”

The meeting will be divided into 3 sections; firstly Caroline Brewer, Leadership Developer and Coach, will share a simple map that has helped her to reflect on her own (ongoing) journey towards peace and fulfilment.  Then the group will work in small teams to identify the key questions this raises for their own lives before finally regrouping to work with other like-minded people on potential options.
