A 6-PART SERIES with Michael Neill & MAVIS KARN
The Art of Impact
Simple conversations that change lives
Each week, our 90 minute masterclass will explore things like how well human beings are made and how easily we can change, deep listening, making peace with your feelings, being yourself, and how to put it all together so your conversations make more of a difference, more of the time.
What We’ll Explore Together
Here’s what we’ll be exploring together in more detail:
Week One: Introducing the User’s Manual for Human Beings
June 2nd
In our first week together, we’ll be diving deep into “the user’s manual” – the only thing you need to know to change anyone’s life (including yours) forever.
Week Two: Nobody Needs to Change (including you)
June 9th
During our second week, we’ll be taking a fresh look at what actually changes when people’s lives seemingly change for the better, and how to get eyes for the innate health and divine intelligence behind every human being’s experience of life.
Week Three: Listening Beyond the Words
June 16th
If you’re new to what is often called “deep listening”, this week’s masterclass will lead directly to an instant upgrade for every conversation you have going forward. Even if you already consider yourself a skilled listener, what we explore together will help you to connect more deeply with yourself and everyone around you.
Week Four: A Whole New Way of Thinking about Feelings
June 23rd
The Scottish mystic Syd Banks said that “if the only thing people learned was not to be afraid of their own experience, that alone would change the world.” In week four, we’ll be making our peace with every emotional color of the rainbow and the beautiful feeling of being alive.
Week Five: Being Yourself
June 30th
Week Six: Putting it All Together
July 7th
During our final week together, we’ll review the fundamental elements of transformative conversations and how you can continue to increase your skill and impact with others going forward!
