Self- and Mutual Acceptance: The Key to Relationships, Teams, Happiness & Success

… in the family, mirror, workplace, school, relationships and community. LIFElines-based  programs, presentations and photography that focus on practical, personal and professional uses of the revelations borne in LIFElines:  Empowering All Aspects of Your Life.

Acceptance and understanding — of self and others — can be found through the processes explained in my book.  You may have experienced personality tests, read up on emotional intelligence and gained insights from coaches, but how did you become the person you are that is reflected in those?  And how did people you meet become who they are.  LIFElines.   See differently; change perspectives; grow authentically.

Find purpose, joy, happiness and success because of the life you’ve lived, not despite it.

Imagine what this will mean to …

Students:  Students, of all ages, have dreams and the desire to be heard.  The LIFElines concepts and ideas help students from 13 and up to begin to find the ember of the dreams, how to make a fire of them, and how to develop an authentic voice that will be heard.  These concepts are not based on them being the center of the universe, but being responsible to their genuineness and to respect that of others.  Check my program, Empowering Students and Those Who Teach Them.

Teachers and Parents:  Rooted in the lessons of LIFElines, my program Helping Them Achieve Their Dreams By Remembering Your Own, helps teachers and parents empower dreams of the young, while also re-igniting their energy for their own dreams.  Check my program, Empowering Students and Those Who Teach Them.  Also, for dads and father figures, check out my Daddin’ program.

Artists, writers and creatives: Never have creative block again.  Find your voice.  Develop your story. Tap into the wellspring of creativity that is your life.  Check my program, LIFElines:  Empowering All Aspects of Your Life.

Seniors and Elders:  Pearls are formed over time and by natural processes because of a disruption and irritation to the oyster’s life.  Once found, they become treasures that retain their luster by being worn.  LIFElines reveals to seniors and elders the wisdom and power of their lives, their future purpose, and the memories that can become memoirs for future generations to read.  Check my program, A Life of Pearls.

Leaders and Managers:  With all due respect to a popular management concept, do NOT put the right people on a bus in your organization.  Consider a garden, and place them where they can grow and flourish.  Using concepts from LIFElines that lead to connections and understanding, leaders and managers can develop an organizational culture for growing and flourishing.  Check my e-book, Grow Your Team, and my Durable Success program.

Couples Serious About Their Lives Together:  Understand what you bring to the relationship through past experiences, relationships and families of origin by experiencing LIFElines with a focus of mutual respect, understanding and acceptance before starting life together.

Those Going Through Healing — Survivors and Fighters: Pearls are formed over time and by natural processes because of a disruption and irritation to the oyster’s life.  Once found, they become treasures that retain their luster by being worn.  LIFElines reveals to survivors, fighters and their caregivers, the gifts born in the struggles.

Those With Self- and Body-image issues:  The LIFElines process reveals why you are loved, loving and loveable — beginning with you and the person in the mirror. My commissioned portraits reveal in the images and the process of creating them that the sum of who you are in inspiring.  Beautiful Because She Breathes is a presentation and workshop that guides audiences to see their beauty for who they are, and who they are is the sum of their LIFElines..  The concepts of listening, understanding and accepting that fuels my presentations, workshops and photography yield comments such as Amy’s:

“Dion,
I wanted to take a few minutes to thank you for taking the photos….It was a truly awesome experience that is provoking and re-examining.

I chose to use this card particularly because seeing images such as this mountain have always served as a sort of proof to me as to the existence of God. How else could this amazing and beautiful phenomena exist? Looking at the photos you took of me has made me look a little closer at this rationale, for as beautiful and intricate as this mountain is, I am equally unique and beautiful. I guess God really did put his best into all things he created…including me. Thanks for helping me see that.” 

Faithful and Faith Communities: Christian faithful carry Christ to others, like the legend of Christoper, known as St. Christopher in some denominations.  My program, The Christopher Program, helps the faithful find and share their own faith stories — both the subtle and the profound — in order to carry Christ to others.

Philanthropists:  Give to what matters and represents your life’s lessons — give what you’ve had the pleasure of or help prevent others from experiencing what you’ve endured.  Using LIFElines as a model for self-discovery, the philanthropically minded will be able to better find the most appropriate beneficiaries to their generosity and their greatest joyfulness in giving.

Creating and living in a world of acceptance, understanding, freedom, dignity and strength requires working for change every day.  Change always begins with ourselves, and LIFElines shows us the strength and power we each hold.  No matter the change in your life, there are three things to do and one way to do it.  Watch this short video for the answers.
