Women Achievers Soaring Higher:
Comprehensive Professional Growth Program for
High-Achieving Women

Agenda

(A few weeks before you arrive, you'll want to make your spa appointments. You can see the treatment options at Miraval. Make your appointments online or call 800/232-3969. Please make all spa appointments at 1:00, 2:00, or 8:00 on Tues.; 4:00, 5:00, or 6:00 on Wed.; and at 4:00, 5:00, or 6:00 on Thurs. Since you get four $95 treatments or consultations, you may also make two appointments in one day, or one appointment on Monday afternoon, or Friday after 2:00, before you depart. If you want additional treatments/consultations, or the treatment or consultation you want is more than your $95/night credit, you can just pay the difference.)

Monday

Arrival. Get settled in. Relax. If you arrive by 5:30, join other attendees for dinner in the dining room. Ask for Rebecca Morgan's table.

Tuesday

8:00 Mindful Eating (breakfast with nutritionist)

Part of being a high-achiever is taking care of yourself so you can continue to make a big contribution to your work, community, and loved ones. Learn how to be more conscious of what you take into your body and how you may choose to shift your food choices once you are totally present to your eating. Debrief Mindful Eating with today's partner and our group.

Creating Life-Balance So You Have Energy to Make Big Contributions

When you sacrifice your well-being to produce excellent results, you get sick, burn out, or lash out at others. Balance is the way to create sustainable high results, as you take care of yourself and your business life. The Coping and Stress Profile assesses your ability to apply four areas of coping strategies in your work and personal lives. You'll not only assess how you are able to use these skills in your work and personal lives, but you'll understand ways to use those skills even more effectively. You'll learn how to enhance your skill level in each area as you take on each of the challenges this week.

Lunch with our group

1:00 - 3:00 Personal reflection, spa treatment, relax, write your insights about your learnings

3:00 Quantum Leap: How High-Achievers Take a Stand

Achievers take a stand for what they think is right, even when it is uncomfortable. Test your capacity to take a stand, even in the face of fear, as you climb a 25-foot pole, stand on top, then leap off. (All fitness levels can participate. If you can climb a ladder, you can experience this activity.) Debrief Quantum Leap with today's partner and group.

Wednesday

8:30 Exploring Self-Imposed Boundaries: What's Holding You Back?

From the outside, it looks like nothing can stand in your way. Yet you know there are issues that are causing you to not move forward as quickly as you'd like. Even strong, achieving people keep themselves stuck at certain levels. What messages do you tell yourself about what you can and cannot do? What would you accomplish if you knew you would succeed? How can you stretch without paralyzing yourself? We¼ll look at examples from people who seemingly shouldn't have accomplished what they did, yet they soared.

Being an achiever entails taking bold steps, often in the face of unknowns. Typically the first step in making changes is the most difficult. You will be challenged to muster your courage, vision and focus, and be in the moment, as you walk along a log, 30 feet above the ground with the tensioned support from your belaying team. You will be encouraged to be present, examine how you face and move through your fear, what support you need from others and how to ask for it. You will find new ways to apply the learning in your leadership roles. Debrief follows. (All fitness levels can participate. If you can climb a ladder, you can experience this activity.)

MasterMind Exchange

What is your most pressing issue right now? What do you think is getting in the way of your taking on your next big accomplishment? On what would you like some input or a different perspective? In small groups, you'll get an opportunity to have some focused time to explore new solutions to your most pressing concerns. You'll tap the brilliance of the other participants.

4:00 - 7:00 Personal reflection, spa treatment, relax, write your insights about your learnings

7:00 - 9:00 Dinner with our group

Thursday

Breakfast on your own

8:30 Equine Experience: Achieving More Through Your Clear Intention

This program provides remarkable insight into how you are able to get others to do what you want. You will work with specially selected horses practicing equestrian "ground skills" (you won't be mounting a horse) as an insightful metaphor for how you work with people. You will experience first-hand how critical it is to be clear in your intention, and how easily others respond when you are as well as how frustrating it is when you aren't. (All fitness levels can participate.)

Read Rebecca's account of her Equine Experience at Miraval.

12:00 - 12:50 Debrief Equine Experience with today's partner and our group over mindful lunch

1:00 - 4:00 Moving Forward: Integrating Your New Insights into Actions

What have you learned about yourself that you will apply to your work? How will you behave or show up differently to others? What do you want to do differently when you go back to work? You will solidify your action plan to apply new learnings back in the workplace. You will identify your support options, and create a plan for inviting others to support you. Work with our group to understand ways to integrate your learnings into new actions when you return home.

4:00 - 7:00 Personal reflection, spa treatment, relax, write your insights about your learnings

7:00 - 8:30 Dinner with our group

Friday

Breakfast on your own

8:30 How Do You Partner for Success?: The "Why High?" Experience

A high-achiever problem solves, even when way outside of her comfort level. As you climb 25 feet to traverse a horizontal y-shaped cable, you will experience what it takes to move forward, even in the face of fear. Your task is to walk on the cable to the middle of the "Y", then meet a partner and together go the rest of the way. You will explore how you partner with others to problem solve, communicate, and work through trouble spots, while knowing your belaying team will support you below. (All fitness levels can participate. If you can climb a ladder, you can experience this activity.)

Read Rebecca's account of her Why High? experience at Miraval.

12:00 - 12:15 Break to check out of your room

The bell staff will schedule a pickup time for your luggage. You don't have to be in your room for this. Just have your bags packed. Suggestion: Put your travel clothes on top or in your Miraval bag so you can retrieve them from the bell staff in the lobby, then change in the bathroom near the lobby.

12:15 - 1:45 Focusing on Next Steps over lunch with our group

If you are leaving today, please plan to depart by 3:00. Please arrange all departing flights after 3:30 p.m. If you leave Miraval by 1:30 you should be able to make a 3:30 flight. Inform the front desk of your planned departure time so they can arrange a van to take you.
