MaximizingU: A self-directed coaching course designed to help you maximize your personal, professional and spiritual potential, reach your goals and ... and Learn to Live with Passion and Purpose)

by Celina Caesar-Chavannes

This is not your typical leadership course. It is a life course in Maximizing Your Potential 101. When designing it, I wanted it to be used as a tool to help transform lives. It contains an assortment of my favourite secrets, tips, and tricks that I have used successfully, and sometimes not so successfully, on my journey.Most importantly, it was borne out of my learnings from a very busy career as an entrepreneur, a tumultuous term as a politician and exhilarating experience as a wife and mom. Taking the time to reflect on my background and experiences, I developed a curriculum around the lessons that allowed me to 1) Immigrate to a foreign country at a very young age with my family 2) Perform exceptionally well in elementary and high school 3) Fail through university and completely abandon my lifetime career goals 4) Go back to school, start a company and become an award-winning entrepreneur 5) Run for elected office, win and become Parliamentary Secretary to the leader of a G7 country 6) Write my autobiography, “Can You Hear Me Now”, published by a national publishing company 7) Live an authentic, purpose filled life, forming a perfect union with my imperfect self.I want that last point for you, too. I want to help you on your journey towards living an authentic, purpose filled life. I am not saying that you currently do not have one. But we all, in some way, are striving to be a better version of ourselves today, than we were yesterday. This course is an investment in you, your organization, your vision and/or your goals. When individual goals are tied to a personal or professional mission, improvements are made to the bottom line, strategic objectives, organizational culture and, most importantly, personal, professional, and emotional development. Whether you are a student, executive, entrepreneur, stay at home parent, we all have goals we want to achieve. The aim of this course is to focus on what you can do now to bring clarity to your goals.It is not about what happened yesterday, or what can happen in the future (although we will draw from real stories and experiences in our past to complete the exercises).This program is about owning all your strengths, weaknesses, flaws and skills to get closer to a more innovative, passionate and purposeful you, in the present.In the end, it is my hope that you will come to realize that this journey is less about the tangible “goal” and more about personal, profession and spiritual transformation. It is about maximizing you!
