The Next Mile - Details



Before the start...
We will mail you the program packet that includes the four-day agenda, FAQs, and travel and hotel information.

Day 1: Your Leadership Story
What are the critical choices you have made in life and what were the compelling reasons at the time for making them? These questions and others are explored as we begin your four-day process of finding out what's next for you and transforming those ideas into meaningful visions and plans for the future. The lively discussion and thought-provoking process set the stage for the remainder of your experience. You'll form your small groups, be introduced to our five-stage model of change and transition, and with the day's theme in mind, continue your discussions over dinner at one of the world-class Sedona eateries of your choice.

Day 2: What Matters
This is a powerful day that primes you to move beyond thinking about what your next life venture might be to a beginning formulation of what it actually will be. Leader-led discussion, individual inquiry and small-group sessions center on reawakening and renewal of the core self, a prerequisite for designing what's next in your life. With that exploratory work done, you will surface the principal values that are important in your life today, what matters most, and be ready to begin to envision the roads you might yet travel.

Day 3: Ideas to Visions
We start the morning early by getting out onto the spectacular red rocks of Sedona to a quiet place of refreshing contemplation that opens a wide the door to creative thinking. After a morning break, we're back in the meeting room where you'll continue in a structured creative process within small groups. This transformative session links you directly to your wellspring of intuitive knowledge and by mid-afternoon you will have moved from your initial idea phase to having preliminary images of what your future holds next for you. You will leave ready for Day 4 where you will design your robust and compelling vision and your next stage plans. There is no better way to take us into Day 4 than to have a celebration of the work that's been done so far and the future that is yet to come. We'll end the day as we started it - outdoors. Only this time, we'll have Pink Jeep Tours take us to our own private spot for sunset, a catered dinner on the rocks, and an evening of good time and conversation.

Day 4: The Next Mile
Today you design the future and the next-step plans that will bring your vision to full reality. Your discussion group begins its new role as a mastermind cohort - your consulting team as you brainstorm plans for actualizing your visions. We revisit the change model and what to expect as you transition mentally and emotionally from where you are now to the future you have designed. By the end of the session you will have renewed and amplified your vitality for undertaking what lies ahead in life, have dispelled any personal myths that compete with your vision, and have in place a support plan that will move you forward along your path. You will be on the way, and it will be your way.

The Next 90 days...Moving Your Vision Forward
The Sedona experience gets you going, and in the 90 days following are when the rubber meets the road. We have designed a broad support structure to help you as you move your vision forward:
Mastermind Sessions: The group meets by phone once in each of the three months after Sedona with a master leadership coach for check-in, spot-coaching and the support that only those who are in the process of change themselves can offer.
Blog: Connect with the entire group from The Next Mile throughout the 90 days following the program in the blog set up specifically for your group in our members only section on our Hairpin Turns web site.





What's Next?
We never think of our programs as truly ending. In fact, one of our goals has been to build a powerful community of women who continue to share, learn and change the world long after we have exited the stage. For those who want to continue a structured format after the first 90 days, we offer:
  • Continuation of small-group coaching for your mastermind cohort, meeting one or two times per month, and contracting for 3 months at a time.
  • Individual coaching for a contracted number of sessions, usually 6 to 8 sessions over 3 to 4 months.
  • A custom continuation plan specifically for you or your mastermind cohort.
