Debbie Ford

"Recognizing and Overcoming Self-Sabotage"



Do you ever find yourself or a client inexplicably engaging in blatantly counterproductive behaviors? Do you ever wonder what causes successful people who seem to have it all, to throw it away through criminal or other self-sabotaging acts? These self-destructive impulses arise from deep within the dark or "shadow" side of the personality. Join author, workshop leader and radio host Debbie Ford, for a sneak preview of her new book, Why Good People Do Bad Things, How to Stop Being Your Own Worst Enemy". With insight and deep compassion, she will guide you to peer into the underbelly of the human psyche, recognize suppressed tendencies and discover effective tools and practices for overcoming self-sabotage.


- Understand the root cause of self-sabotaging behaviors.
- Identify the signposts that indicate you or a client are on a path to personal or professional disaster.
- Learn to counter self-destructive tendencies through the use of proven spiritual and behavioral antidotes.

A #1 New York Times best-selling author, Debbie Ford's books have sold more than one million copies and are translated into 32 languages. Starting with the publication of The Dark Side of the Light Chasers, Debbie's six books also include: The Secret of the Shadow; Spiritual Divorce; The Right Questions; The Best Year of Your Life, and her forthcoming release, Why Good People Do Bad Things: How to Stop Being Your Own Worst Enemy.

In addition to hosting her own weekly call-in radio program on HayHouseRadio.com, she has been a repeat guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show and Good Morning America and recently appeared on ABC TV's Ex-Wives Club, Larry King Live, and The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch. Having co-taught with Deepak Chopra and David Simon, MD of the Chopra Center, Jeremiah Abrams, PhD, Neale Donald Walsch, and other acclaimed teachers, Debbie is beloved for her penetrating wisdom and compassionate humor. Many of the great leaders and thinkers of our time seek her out for her unique perspective and laser-sharp coaching. In addition to her work training coaches, Debbie gives lectures and workshops around the country to an estimated 10,000 people each year.

Join us on February 11th as we welcome Debbie to our SDPCA meeting!



SPECIAL EVENT: February 11, 2008
After the February 11th SDPCA general meeting, Tom Stone will faciliate a workshop on coaching presence. Registration required. Sign up now using the following link Registration Only 40 seats available.

Cultivating a Powerful Coaching Presence
The "bugs" in our human software distract us from being powerfully present in our coaching conversations. In this workshop, coaching pioneer Tom Stone will show you how to identify those bugs in yourself and in your clients and how to "rewrite the code" with some powerful new coaching tools he calls Pure Awareness Techniques.

Coaches who have learned these techniques say they are the most powerful coaching tools they have ever learned, creating breakthroughs in minutes that they didn't even know were possible before. You have to experience it to believe it. You'll upgrade your coaching skills more in this half day workshop than in months of traditional coach training. Come join us!

Tom Stone is the creator of the Core Dynamics of Common Problems, Core Dynamics Coaching and Coach Training, WaveMaker Coaching and the Pure Awareness Techniques. Tom is an internationally acclaimed speaker, seminar presenter and coach trainer. He is the author of two books, Pure Awareness – Five Simple Techniques for Experiencing Your Essential Nature, and Be Smoke Free Now – Breakthrough Techniques for Becoming a Non-Smoker Now and for the Rest of Your Life. Tom is pioneering the emerging field of Human Software Engineering. He was Thomas Leonard's last personal coach.

"Do You Dread Marketing?"

"You're About to Discover How Your Marketing Can Actually Make A Difference In The World While Getting You Clients!"

Did you know that when marketing is done well, it's actually a service to the world in and of itself? Great marketing will actually make a bigger difference in the world than the product or service it sells because a marketing message will reach 10 times more people than actually buy the product or service.

Marketing can:
- inspire people to go for more
- show people how change is possible
- get people into action

Sadly, most marketing is done simply for profit motive. But...

If you harness the power of marketing for the good of every prospective client in the world, regardless of whether they hire you or not, you can reach more people, get more clients, and actually start loving the marketing process because you'll know you're actually making a difference. Sound interesting? To learn more about how marketing makes a difference...

Listen to this zero-cost audio on "Make-A-Difference-Marketing" (you won't even have to enter your email address).

Wishing you…
love, happiness, health, and prosperity,
