At RiverWays, we recognize that learning to speak —
and lead — with confidence, authenticity and presence
is not a set of techniques that you call forth on specific
occasions. It's a way of being... a way of life.
People come to us because they have
a fear
of public speaking, they want to lead
more effectively, or they want to live life
more fully in the present moment. And, they're surprised
to find that not only do they learn the skills they were
hoping for, they also get so much more.
Through our approach, you can learn
specific tools and strategies for becoming the speakers,
leaders and human beings you wish to become.
Our clients often say that our programs
are not at all what they anticipated. This is because all
the tools that you'll learn apply not only to speak or leading
but to life in general. And, in fact, it's in our ordinary,
every day lives that we get to practice presence on all
levels so that it becomes part of who we are.
Once internalized, the ability to
connect and communicate with authentic presence is then
available to you in any context, whether it's a formal presentation,
in a meeting with clients or colleagues, or in an important
conversation with another person on things that matter.
“What has amazed
me is that this method really works and gets
results quickly. Within a few sessions, each
client has made improvements noticeable to himself
and others in the organization. Any manager or executive
would benefit from this unique program.” -
Jane Hodgetts, Principal of Hodgetts Associates, Executive
& Career Coaching |

| “I think that a lot
of public speaking programs focus on tricks or techniques
that would make people effective. Carla assumes that
people know what they have to talk about. She allows
them to eliminate the barriers so that they can do the
best of what they are already capable of doing. What
they end up getting is not a checklist of 10 things
that they have to be really nervous about remembering,
but rather, it's easy access to what's already there.”

of Business Development for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute |

Retreat in Greece — A four day silent

Axladitsa
Immersion — The Presence Retreat at
Axladitsa-Avatakia in Greece is part one of a three week
immersion. As our world shifts, we find ourselves in a
level of complexity we have never faced before. What we
have relied on no longer works. Doing more of the same
simply takes us deeper into confusion. We can no longer
incrementally change – we need to shift the whole
system. During this three week immersion we will inquire
deeply into the questions: How do we do this? What is
the action that will help us at this crucial time? May
11 - 28 at Axladitsa (see registration
form for prices)
