Let's Welcome A Great New Group of Grads from June WLR®
May & June Graduate Feedback
Wonderful article on letting others problems stay theirs. People love to pull you into their drama because they need to feed the drama with renewed energy. They are adept at cajoling others into owning their problems, to get new energy feed to their drama.
I see coaches make this huge mistake. They try to solve others problems as a coach. The truth is that a good coach knows to ask the questions to allow their client to identify their own solutions to problems.
Love your example of the billing as well. So many people in companies just don't want to do the work needed when they have IT systems that reduce the companies flexibility. Rather than identify the need to modify the system, they pass the issue onto the customers. Insane. There seems to be a laziness with people or a frustration they have with trying work with systems that are not effective. I just think the real issue starts with people not knowing how to solve problems, because their parents solved their problems for them as you wrote.
Love how you tied it all together, starting with owning your own problems and not others, then moving to the ways that people in companies pass on their problems to you and others. The completing the circle by mentioning why people can't solve their problems. Maybe their were never taught.
Interesting that problem solving is a skill and can be learned. People won't try to develop that skill unless others push back and say "Hey we are not going to work on your problem; it belongs to you.".
Even my daughter, who is 30 years old, is seeing so many young adults out of school these days, not having problem solving skills. The real issues is that they can't even define problems. Our education system is failing us big time and parents need to step up and make sure their kids are competent when they leave the house. That is why we are given such a small precious time with them, to help them make it on their own.
A Graduate
Hi Susan,
I'm not sure if you're still taking feedback on the kids issue, but here's mine.
I am so grateful that I was able to choose not to have children. By age 10, I knew that I did not want to have children based on my home life. By about age 15, I saw two of my older sisters divorced and living in poverty in their 20's. Even the sister that waited until she was 40 couldn't escape divorce and financial hardship. I just read the book "Hillbilly Elegy" by J.D. Vance which is just a slightly louder version of my working class family of Germanic descent in Wisconsin. I am grateful that I did not pass on the cycle of abuse, abandonment and addiction that has caused so much pain in my family.
To choose if and when is such a precious freedom for a woman!
Thanks,
A Graduate
NOT JUST A PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL PLAYER
China produced a great Basketball player that I had the honor to see play.
He came to Denver with his team, Houston Rockets and John took my picture standing in front of him. Given he is 7 feet 6 inches tall and I am not you can
imagine what that looked like!
We have a bobble head doll of him I got on a trip through Houston.
Adam and John and I had just gotten back from our work trip to China that summer.
We did 2 Couple's Workshop's in Guangzhou for P&G. It was a singular
experience for all of us. For the first time China had gotten into the world cup
for Soccer (Football) so we changed our schedule so that our participants
could watch their team represent them.
However as exciting as that was the talk among the participants was about Yao and who we thought would win the Basketball Championship that year.
As we traveled by train from Hong Kong to Guangzhou we saw much of that part of China.
There were B'ball hoops in every little village we saw along the way! B'ball was
a hit and Yao was the main star. We learned of the Chinese Basketball Association
(CBA). And the Shanghai Sharks team he had played for.
We knew Houston had hired Patrick Ewing to be his coach. In 8 seasons with
the Houston Rockets Yao ranks 6 among Rockets Players in total points and
total rebounds and second in total blocks. He is in the Basketball Hall of Fame.
But with all of those achievements Yao, the man, interests me more.
in 2008 there was a very bad earthquake in Sichuan. Many children and adults
were killed. Schools collapsed. He quietly donated 2 million of his own money to relief work and created a foundation to rebuild the schools.
Something about him doing that with no fanfare caught my attention.
I am aware that many pro athletes have foundations that do good work. Most
make sure we all know about it as well. Yao did his very quietly with great
honor and commitment. He never has been a flashy guy!
He has done much more;
He raised $300,000 to stop the spread of SARS and held a charity event that
raised almost 1 million dollars to help underprivileged children in China.
He is a Global Ambassador for Special Olympics and is a member of it's
International Board of Directors.
He has championed the plight of the Northern White Rhinoceros and serves
as an ambassador for elephant conservation.
He bought the financially ailing Shanghai Sharks and is the 6th President of
the Chinese Basketball Association.
In the midst of all the political craziness in the US and the outcome of the first
Bill Cosby rape trial here I wanted to take a break and appreciate a man in another country who, without a lot of Publicity in the US, has done so much for
people and endangered species in the world.
This is a special man and I thought we should know and celebrate his
accomplishments!
Thanks Yao for giving me and others this peaceful interlude!

The March Advanced Women Moving Forward® Group in Westlake Village, CA.
If you have ever thought, "I wish I could hear Susan's voice again" or "I want to re-visit what I learned in WMF® now that my life has changed" then
Advanced Women Moving Forward®
REVIEWING or
OBSERVING
could be an option for you!
Because women's lives occur in stages: singledom, marriage, kids, etc. we always had the option for women to return to the workshop when they entered a new stage.
Here are the 3 options graduates can use to attend WMF® again:
Attending Advanced Women Moving Forward®
The 2 day workshop will have you focus on:
Your purpose in life and how to live a more purposeful life.
Completing your old Declarations of Self
Creating new Declarations of Self
Declarations of Self Exercise
Reviewing
In this option you are actually a full participant. You do a pre-call and pre-work and participate as a full participant!
You will need to be present for all 3 days and do all the workshop exercises.
The cost is 50% of the total cost of the workshop. So here in the US reviewing currently costs $1875
Observing
In this option you sit at the Observer Table and do the exercises from that vantage point. You can "observe" where you are now and where you need to be next. You participate only silently from the back of the room.
Observing affords you the flexibility to come and go as you please (except during the completion exercise).
You do not participate fully and only speak to the room if asked to by Susan
The cost to Observe is $250 in the US and $450 in other countries.
In every workshop we do we have limited spaces for Reviewers and for Observers.
If you think you will want to Observe or Review please let us know so we can reserve your space.
Next Opportunities to Observe or Review are next week in Cincinnati and in October in Geneva. I look forward to the possibility of seeing some of you soon!
Watch for new schedule of Advanced WMF® in 2016!

Women's Leadership Retreat 2018
At the 2017 WLR® there was considerable discussion of the use of Power and the feeling of Powerlessness.
For example; Just because Power has been used badly on you does not mean power is inherently bad.
It also does not follow that since the use of power on you wan done badly that when you use power
you are bad!!
Only one space is available in 2018. If you want to attend please let Susan know ASAP.
Don't get shut out!

Ana & Gill Day 2 Advanced WMF® Westlake Village, CA. 
Here are some quotes from the evaluations of the last
Advanced Women Moving Forward® Workshop:
"I understand the boundaries that go along with my role,
I will be able to make more efficient decisions"
"I have a greater sense of clarity over my life....this has given
me the opportunity to start with a clean slate. I am more in touch with myself..."
"I am more purposeful and can lead from a higher level....
I am more 'in the moment' because the distractions are being
removed"
"...(I'm) not alone in my experience, support is so helpful...
like a renewal of WMF® to a further degree"
"I will live more on purpose at work which will make me more
effective in my role...as a leader. This will benefit my company.."
"I plan to move through breakdown as quickly as possible"
"I am more centered and more on purpose which will help me
make clearer decisions and improve productivity"
"Knowing that breakdowns are opportunities to learn
information to move back into creation vs viewing them as a
dead end"
"I will focus on 'who owns the problem' and delegate the
solution to them"
"I have let go of old declarations and am refocused on the
path forward"

OBSERVING
Observing is a WMF® graduate program that includes
attending the workshop and looking at how far
you have come since taking the workshop. It also helps
you to keep the learnings you got as impactful as they were
when you took
the workshop.
The side benefit of Observing is supporting the women
attending by modeling what it is to complete the workshop.
If you would like to Observe any of the community based
workshops in 2011 all you need to do is contact us to make
a reservation and pay the $250 fee. Seats in each
workshop are limited and are given on a first come
first serve basis.
Four Graduates in Europe Observed the Frankfurt workshop
last year.
You do not have to be at all three days of the workshop.
You can be at one day or several or you can come for an afternoon.
The schedule is up to you when you Observe.
Some Graduates bring their workshop buddies with them
to Observe and some bring their old notebooks!
