Workshop

I think you and Mariska are a wonderful team, and I can see how you play off each other’s strengths.

It’s clear you both are big believers of speaking your truth & that shows up in the workshop. The way everything is broken down is so easy to understand. The first session was really about getting to know yourself & understanding yourself, and the second session was more, okay now I know myself, how am I going to apply this and what can I do with it (professionally & personally). The third session was very much, I know myself, I know what I can do but when am I going to do it and how. I have all my worksheets and notes and I will be using & looking back at them. The fact that I have the new career I’m thinking about written down helps me stay focused and discourages procrastination. It’s so apparent that this workshop is open and welcome for all types of people – its younger people, older, in-between. You both did an amazing job of helping people understand themselves and guide them on my journey. Through this workshop I have decided on pursuing something that is my passion & utilises my strengths and I’m very excited about that – this workshop has been a huge motivator.

Passion to Financial Freedom Workshop

I found the Passion to Financial Freedom workshop to be very valuable in developing a positive and realistic financial strategy for my current business pursuit. This workshop provides the opportunity to arrive at both a context and perspective of one’s own journey to financial freedom. Though there are many skills and techniques out there, what I found different about this workshop is that it takes one on a journey from the inside out. In this workshop, one goes through a process to create a personal foundation based on an organic understanding of one’s strengths, weaknesses, core values and end in mind. What is important is that this foundation will be different for each person.

This foundation provides the individual context and perspective to apply the relevant information, skills and techniques to building one’s future financial freedom by leveraging the understanding of one’s personal wiring. This approach avoids trying to apply a one-size-fits-all approach from the outside in and has enabled me to make organic choices that I would not have made otherwise. Thank you for not only the process, but your guidance and expertise through this workshop.

a ) Positive manifestation is the keyword for what C&M have created here. This is a perfect environment for inward reflection which helped me tremendously in figuring out my way forward. If you need a guiding light, this is the programme for you. Massive thanks to you guys! Keep up the good work.

b ) When Ciara told me about this workshop, I saw it as a prime opportunity to get a new perspective on what I thought was my master plan. It was exactly what I thought, but it also wasn’t. Here’s why.

I picked up a second job in January of this year to improve my financial situation and qualify myself for stepping up the economic ladder. My personal goal was simple – make enough money to fund my degree and a few certificate courses. COVID-19 threw a wrench into my plans; C & M were the diagnostic technicians I didn’t know I needed. By the end of March, the entire country was placed under lockdown orders and I was out of 2 jobs, albeit temporarily.

The timing of this workshop could not have been better. Positivity and manifestation are keywords which describe this engaging platform C&M have created. The initial self-assessment was one the most telling factors as my situation was so drastically affected by the global pandemic. Once we made it through the self-analysis exercises, I was able to draw a map of sorts to chart my strengths. From there, we explored practical applications based on the aforementioned exercises. Ultimately we tied it all together with actionable items.

The core value of this workshop is to help you realise your full potential and above all … Be true to yourself.

Ciara!
Thank you SO much for last night’s workshop.

To be 100% honest with you I came into last night’s workshop feeling quite frazzled, tired and frustrated. I don’t think I was fully aware of it, but I feel like I had begun to sink into a space where I was lacking a lot of clarity in terms of my business, and I felt unclear as to what my offering really was. I think I subconsciously expected that I wasn’t going to get much out of the workshop because of the space I was in – because I felt distracted and unfocused (though, I should’ve known better that this is EXACTLY what you and Mariska are amazing at guiding people through!)

The conversations that were had and the questions you guys had us think through really inspired me and sent me down a rabbit hole of introspection, in the best way possible! Within those two hours I went from a space of not even realizing how stuck and disempowered I felt, to gaining SO much momentum in generating ideas for my business, revenue models and product ideas. I love that the workshop is also designed to really get you thinking about your passions, strengths and values in a different way – and to connect those things and apply it to business decisions. I feel like I am learning so much about MYSELF and how I can apply that knowledge to know what works for me and what doesn’t.

The workshop inspired me to create a list of achievable action steps/next steps in order to get my dream project rolling, as well as helped me identify the keystone habit I needed to implement in order to achieve my multiplier goal (I really loved this concept!)

Often, I wake up feeling a sense of dread that stems from anxiety that is work related. This morning? I implemented my simple, clearly defined but achievable keystone habits and worked on my goal. Those 75 minutes completely altered the trajectory of my day and left me feeling empowered, confident and capable to handle the work that I want to take on.

I feel like I was finally able to take the first steps on a project that I’ve been thinking about for the last few months – so thank you both for setting up the space to help me look within and find what it takes to get the ball rolling!

I also wanted to add that I got so much value from the first workshop in a way that has translated over the course of the last month into my personal life. That first workshop alone helped me have the courage to make a BIG change that I was terrified of facing, but that was necessary to keep me on track toward my dreams for my life. So THANK YOU and Mariska! I am so grateful to be a part of this group, and I’m looking forward to the third workshop next month!
