Four years ago, I was questioning the direction of my work and the meaning of my life.  I was fortunate enough to be guided to a program called ‘What One Person Can Do’, a 12 week experientially based exploration of the power that resides within all people.  It is taught in prisons, schools and public forums across the United States, and I pulled every favor I could to get into the next available class. 

The group I participated in was taught over the telephone, which meant we had participants in several different countries and from extremely different backgrounds.

To say it changed my life would be inaccurate – I changed my life, and as is my habit I spent the next two and a half years grounding myself as thoroughly as possible in the principles underlying what has been for me a dramatic transformation.  I always knew I wanted to make a difference in the world – until doing this program, I just didn’t believe that it was actually possible. 

I’m not going to write a long sales letter – this will either appeal to you right now or it won’t.  Because of the intensely personal and interactive nature of the program, I will only be accepting five people on a first come, first served basis. 

If the group is already full by the time you book, I will refund your money immediately
and put you on a list for any future groups.

Here’s the info:

We will meet by telephone for an hour a week over a 12 – 15 week period. There are two groups for you to choose from:

*Mondays at 8am pacific, 11am eastern, 4pm UK beginning September 10, 2007

*Wednesdays at 11am pacific, 2pm eastern, 7pm UK beginning September 19, 2007

The cost of the program is $1500 (US).  This includes the group sessions, a collection of writings specially selected for the exploration, and unlimited e-mail support.

Because of the small group size, it may be possible to change one or two of the group meeting times, but if you know you will not be able to attend at least three of the sessions, please let me know of your interest and I will notify you if another group opens up.

Here is the ‘official’ description of the program from its creators:

"What one Person Can Do" is an experientially based exploration of the power that resides within all people, and honors the unique life experiences of each participant. 

Over a twelve week period, through practical, personal assignments and reflections, participants discover that the loving-kindness of Mother Theresa and the indomitable will of a Nelson Mandela resides within all people, the only issue is access.  This program, grounded in loving-kindness and personal responsibility, explores the following:

-   Preciousness of time
-   Choice
-   Breaking habits that don't work, beginning habits that do
-   Persistence in the face of no agreement
-   Separating who people are from what they do
-   Effective communication
-   Learning how to break cycles of automatic response to a problem
-   Building a personal, daily routine that works
-   Truly effective listening
-   Solving problems brilliantly
-   Increasing personal energy
