January Breakfast Meeting
Change Your Mind-Set, Change Your Life:
A Head-and-Heart Approach
A Presentation by
Sylvia Hutton
In a recent study of patients whose doctors told them they would die if they didn’t make changes in their diet, stop smoking, and exercise, the results showed that only 1 out of 7 patients made the changes necessary to prolong their lives. Stunning, isn’t it! Why is this? Why do the goals we want most to accomplish continue to elude us time and time again? Is it a matter of needing more willpower and self-discipline, or not wanting it badly enough? This study suggests not.
Sylvia Hutton is a Personal and Professional Development Coach and graduate of the Hudson Institute of Santa Barbara, CA where she received her coaching certification in 2002. Sylvia will be talking with us about ‘change’ and how our “immunity-to-change” keeps us from accomplishing the things we really want to experience in life. The aim of this presentation is to offer you a new understanding of the mechanisms of deep change and introduce you to a tool you can use to help create a new mind-set that supports the changes you desire.
Sylvia will also bring her good friend and long-time musical collaborator, John Mock with her and they will perform a song or two!
