Lift Up from Reactivity to Creativity

You may not know you are a wizard
until someone gives you a magic wand
and you discover what you can create.

Consider me that someone and
this class Is your magic wand.

Reactivity to Creativity

I find tremendous fulfillment in assisting someone in breaking through contraction and expanding their sense of what else is possible as they create a life they love. Expansion, freedom, and empowerment come from learning and using the tools I share in my private practice and the Lift Up courses I facilitate.

We are our most creative, resourceful selves when we are calm and present in this moment. We lift up out of survival-brain reactivity into the higher human-brain creativity. (Note: the words reactivity and creativity have the same letters!)

When we lift up, we move into inventiveness, resourcefulness, humor, spiritual intelligence, innovation and more. From here, we can figure out anything. We find our resilient spirit and the willingness to embrace circumstances. Our resilience recognizes life as an opportunity to engage creativity and design a future we prefer to live in. Powerful.

Power is defined as the ability to take action. Creative action. Effective action. Useful action.

You get to choose whether to live by default or by design. You are the force for the creation of everything in your life. If you don’t create the life you want, someone else will do it for you. 

There is an abundance of choices available to us.

Is now the time you choose you?

We will explore what stops you from experiencing the happiness and ease you desire, giving you tools to create a joyful life beyond what you’ve imagined is possible.

The content will offer you different perspectives, tools, and techniques to change how you’ve been living. Practicing in a group setting assists in embodying the learning and using the tools more easily. 

I have witnessed remarkable changes in people’s lives:

• more ease, joy, and lightness of being
• greater health, wealth, and happiness
• enthusiasm in knowing they are co-creators with life

Discover greater empowerment to overcome life’s challenges and experience more joy. Is now the time to choose to be the predominant creative power in your life?

My lifelong exploration of methods, practices, and tools from consciousness expansion practices that support creating a life of joy contributes to the course’s content. This six-week workshop is a foundation course for the Living by Design School programs.

What else is possible?

What if you were inadvertently taught how to limit

rather than create your life? 

 What if you had the tools to create the change that

you didn’t even know you could ask for?

What would be possible for you

that you haven’t yet considered?

Is now the time for you to discover your capacity to create

beyond what you have known up until now?

 

Leslie offers an incredible toolbox, enthusiasm, love and a demonstration of what she’s offering. (My memory says she was dealing with publishing her second book when we started.) I’ve been in several groups set up for change, and I don’t know how she does it, but when Leslie leads a group, the whining is at a minimum, and the winning is at a maximum. It’s inspiring and energizing.

A Lift Up student shares how she created more money with less stress:

Say Yes to You

You will have the opportunity to clear limitations, distractions, and negativity that have kept you from purposefully creating more of what you want to have and experience.

Your life results from your choices, and every choice is a creation. What are you choosing?

Let go of limiting points of view about what it is to be a creative force in your life, about what is possible, and about how powerful an influence you are in creating a life you love, a good life, a life you enjoy.

Listen to how much happiness this student is experiencing as compared to just one year ago:

I have felt really uplifted energetically from being part of your classes–even when I am not actively working with the material (and even when I missed attending the first week of the series), I feel a different/higher vibration of energy throughout the time the class is going on. I’m not sure if you have an idea of the mechanism by which that works, but I wanted to share it. I feel like I’m “lifting up” passively by being linked to the group’s energy.

Lisa M.

The class planted seeds of possibility that moved me into action. It is all about action. Thinking about what I want to create isn’t the same as creating. I was able to uncover limiting points of view and shift into seeing more of what is possible. Sharing with others was energizing as I was motivated by hearing other people’s visions. It was great to be part of a group and cheer each other on.

Is Now the Time for You?

Is now the time for you to receive the kind of support that occurs in community? We all benefit from fellowship, a place to lift and inspire each other. 

This program will support you in stepping into your creative power to be the change you want to see in the world, starting with your life. ​If you don’t know where you want to go, clarifying your vision could be your intention for our time together. You are expanding into vision and possibility, which fuels action, and action translates dreams into reality.

A Lift Up student shares how she created healing in her body using these tools:

 

What stands out is that simple (though not always easy) changes to thoughts and behaviors can result in significant positive changes in perspective, self-image, self-value, and well-being. I deeply appreciated Leslie’s class presentation, the intimate and online experience, the breakout sessions, and the opportunities for sharing.
John Hagelberg

The Lift Up course was helpful in kickstarting me to not only create a vision but to truly explore the experience I choose to have within that vision. This exploration moved me into possibilities I had not seen before. I had such an enjoyable time. The people gathered were warm and genuine. The interaction with them, Leslie, and the material were really good for me.

Consider This

Working 1:1 with a mentor is powerful. Finding a skilled person is worth the investment. You appreciate the value of transformational skilled coaching, yet you choose not to invest at that level at the moment.

THE GOOD NEWS IS
You now have an opportunity to grow yourself in an accessible, actionably affordable way.

LOOK AT IT THIS WAY
This Lift Up program is a structure for growing into the next best version of yourself while creating a life you love with expert guidance and support.

REAP THE HARVEST
I have combined 35+ years of mentoring, counseling, coaching, and teaching experience into this course.

Education versus Ignorance

Education can be expensive, yet have you ever considered the cost of ignorance?

  • What does it cost not knowing what choices you have to create a joyful life?

  • What is the price of ignorance? Ignorance means you don’t know—it means you are unaware that there are other choices.

  • Do you know how to nourish and nurture your life, body, relationship, and career?

Choice creates. What do you want to create as your life?

I am so grateful to myself for working with you because I am not the same person I was. Choosing to wonder is so powerful. I feel less strained, more enthusiastic, less stressed, more ease and spaciousness. I am living more in my essence and being truthful—a great shift.

I loved the live calls. I felt connected to the group and engaged. I found over time I began to feel part of something bigger. The group support was terrific.

I don’t feel alone in my desire to change or how I have kept myself stuck. The break-out room exercises and listening to others on the call made me feel connected and inspired. I have put my goals out to the group, and I know there is energetic support.

I can’t tell you how much I benefited from and enjoyed this course. For me, it was a very effective teaching/learning tool.

The course was very cost-effective. Perhaps you should increase the price. The time and expense it would have taken for me to learn the material through individual sessions would have been extensive.

There is no question that the material is valuable beyond the price asked.

Since working with Leslie, I now greet each day In wonder and possibility, instead of fear and doubt. How does it get any better than this? I am wondering …Thank You, Leslie!
Scott Kellner

Other people sharing their vision reminded me of more things I could add to mine. I find I’m inspired by engaging with the group to keep crafting my vision and taking action towards what I really want.

Lisa Pilney

Showing up as part of this group helps me not only feel part of a community, but when I say something to someone willing to listen, it makes my vision feel more real. Having someone who is witnessing my dreams, helps me feel like I’m getting closer to my vision.

Beth Nestler

I am thoroughly enjoying this program. I love your positive energy! It’s so refreshing to have an encouraging and optimistic mindset and approach to life instead of all the negativity and gloom and doom that has been programmed into us. Onward to something greater!

Kimberly

I appreciate our time together in the group, making visions and speaking them out loud. It helped me settle on what is important to me. Amazingly, just weeks later, one of my most meaningful intentions is making itself real.

K.S.

How wonderful to hear you expand into your joy and help guide us into ours. Something has cleared — some confusion and ‘fear.’ What joy I am experiencing! I feel like the weight of figuring out what I want has dissolved into “this or even more…” I get it! Yes, Thank You!!
Ana H.

Leslie’s gift is her ability to help others choose happiness, empowerment and success in life. I am so grateful I took this course. I am rapidly becoming the woman I want to be because of what I have learned from Leslie.
