“We see the connections among women are the most potentially transforming forces on the planet.”
Teresia LaRocque and Cheryl Cran 

All my professional life I have been intrigued by the Power of We.  Being a solo entrepreneur I intuitively knew to create the experiences my heart desired and make the level of difference I was committed to making I could not do it alone. Since the inception of my business, I have started and been part of many groups, a few that have really have transformed my life are : The Author Circle, Cloudnine Mastermind; The Family of Women and my TLC team. 

Shared experiences touch us on the deepest levels.

When a “we” space is created:

• The “we space” builds an identity
• The space is “contained” by the agreements created, and the team is defined
• Well-being and ecology as a whole become both desired and practical
• Individual strengths surface that support the “we” outcomes
• A common purpose emerges and mutual interest is experienced
• Achievement and Celebration become more meaningful

These experiences has been the catalyst for expanding my coaching practice from a 1-1 coaching model to incorporating environments of “we” space such as team coaching for the teams of my entrepreneur and executive clients, also a different form of team coaching, where two coaches work with a client to provide dual perspectives and facilitating mastermind and group programs.  

With the rampant movement of what the media is calling “womenomics” (the concept that male dominance in the workplace is being replaced by the fact that women account for 80% of all purchasing decisions and that women may soon be primary breadwinners; In addition Canada is the fastest growing country for self employed professional women and it has tripled in the last two decades and In Canada one in 10 executives is a woman, and in the US one in five executives is a woman)  it has been a natural next step to ensure that women had access to one of the most strategic business tools available: being part of an innovative, unprecedented “we” space.  

There is a shift and we can all feel it- 2009 was a year that had many of us recognize the need to move more towards a ‘me to we’ approach in both life and in business.

Evolutionaries, philosophers, marketers and researchers are earmarking 2010 as the year that there will be recognition in business and life of the value of feminine attributes such as collaboration, support and connection. It is these values that especially women are looking for in their work and in their lives.  However, most women have gained success through the lone ranger mentality, doing it alone, garnering success for self and resisting support and collaboration. There is a new way of gaining success where women can leverage their time, let go of the lone ranger mentality and get results with ease and effortlessness.  Women are looking to do things differently based on their values to leverage and embrace success in a new more collaborative way.

2010 is the year to  leverage and embrace success in a new more collaborative way: enter the power of the mastermind; the shift from “me” to “we”; letting go of the “lone ranger” mentality. How would your life be different if you were part of a group of like minded people who had a common purpose and was committed to sharing resources, ideas, insights in a noncompetive environment?  What I know for sure is that it transforms lives!
