A recent LYV Mastermind graduate laughingly told me this past week, “Julie, this proves you actually can teach ‘old dogs’ new tricks.” 😊 She is 62 btw.

And when I asked another woman (who in my mind is one the most highly-respected and influential women I know and about to turn 65), what are a few things you got from our year together in our Mastermind?

Here is what she wrote… 😲 (literally copy + paste from her email)

Personal: 

  1. Clarity about my personal strengths and how to lean into them and make strength-based decisions
  2. Internalization of my strengths in such a clear, defined way that I can readily use them when facing obstacles
  3. Clear view of my values and understanding of how to use these to determine my priorities and how to use them to determine the best people for me to work with
  4. Clarity of my passions and an understanding of the importance of deliberately using them to revitalize and energize myself
  5. Seeing the importance of deliberately knowing my rhythms of optimal living and practicing them on an ongoing basis for peaceful, aligned living
  6. Power of visualization to “call things that aren’t as if they are”
  7. Understanding clearly who I work best with and can bring the best out of
  8. A new view of the importance of money
  9. A clearer pathway to how I can influence influencers

Leadership:

  1. Deeper conviction about the power of encouragement and continual reinforcement to train women to look for their victories on an ongoing basis. So Jesus!
  2. Seeing clearly through the training that what we focus on enlarges and increases our faith
  3. Watching the transformation in women’s view of themselves before God as they recognize, embrace and celebrate the unique strengths that God has given them
  4. Practical examples of recognizing and showing women when they are judging themselves.
  5. Also have seen clearly how that condemning spirit shuts down faith and growth
  6. Training myself to continually look for the victory and highlight it in women to help them learn how to do the same
  7. Improved listening skills as I listen carefully to extract themes and help them recognize patterns  and their process
  8. Encourage, encourage, encourage
  9. Growth in team-building skills through clear, strength-based assignments and encouragement
  10. Continual expansion in learning to learn
  11. Ability to present a Canva (technology uplevel) presentation seamlessly
  12. Increased clarity and confidence of what I have to offer
  13. Increased mental strength through challenging my perception of obstacles and my relationship to pain.
  14. Clearer understanding and laser focus on my priorities
  15. Willingness to continually question the leading of the Spirit openly, and without fear of where He is leading
  16. Deep conviction of the importance of self-care in leadership

So no matter how old OR how accomplished OR influential you are, I bet there are a few new tricks we can help you discover.

And even if you are not ‘old’, dream of being accomplished, or not ‘yet’ influential… BUT, you know there must be more for you, we’ve got you. If these women could gain this much from one year together, what could you?

Action steps: Take some time in your day to quietly go through each of the above learnings. Seriously, imagine yourself for a moment with each of these new abilities, one at a time. What difference would even 1 of them make in your life? Or if you are like so many women in this community, classic overachievers…imagine having all 25! 😊
