Upcoming Events: New Meetup, Workshop, and the Proverbial “Much More”!
Saturday, June 19th, 2010Just wanted to keep you all updated on the state of play here at Edgar HQ and on Edgar Force One — I can’t say which one I’m at right now for national security reasons: 
New Bay Area Meetup
I’ve started a Meetup group in San Jose, California, which I’m using to offer free evening events on finding focus, motivation and peace in your work. I’m excited about the next meeting, which will be on Monday, June 28, because yoga teacher Rosy Moon, who co-leads my full-day intensive workshop, will be joining me.
We’ll be talking about how yoga can help us accept and even embrace the tension, frustration, fatigue and so on we feel in our work — and, of course, doing some yoga with participants. We’ll also demonstrate how the deep inner work we do in our workshop can help people let go of the blocks that have them avoid truly giving their gifts to the world.
If you’re in the Bay Area, I encourage you to drop by — you’ll definitely learn a lot and have fun!
Inner Productivity Intensive
I think I’m still digesting how powerful an experience the last Inner Productivity Intensive was. My friends are like “okay, time to finish processing and feel happy about it already!” Not only did Rosy and I have a blast, but we got some incredible feedback — here’s a sample:
“I wanted to let you both know how much I enjoyed the workshop. It was a great experience – I learned a lot and actually enjoyed most of it! It may be the best single day workshop I have attended in my professional career.”
- Aidan C., San Francisco, California
“The Inner Productivity Intensive Workshop was amazing, maybe even transformational. I’ll use some of the practical techniques I learned pretty much every day for the rest of my life. At the same time, I also gained deeper insights into myself and my relationships that were incredibly valuable.”
- B.P., San Francisco, California
Almost as soon as the last participant left, Rosy and I were talking about scheduling another one. If I procrastinated about putting it together, that would make me a big hypocrite, and I didn’t want that. So, I wasted no time in setting up the next workshop for August 15, 2010.
If you’re ready to get conscious, and let go, of patterns of thinking and behavior holding you back from giving your deepest gifts to the world, this is the workshop for you. You can find out more about it and register here.
Some Great Recent Interviews
I had the privilege of appearing on two wonderful radio shows recently — both hosts had read and deeply appreciated the book, which led to discussions that were educational and fun. I’ll post the links to them below.
* Welcome Changes Radio with Velma Gallant, June 2010
* Good Vibrations Radio with Solarzar and Kyralani, May 2010
I hope I get the chance to meet more of you in person, and I’m looking forward to more opportunities to help the world make working enjoyable and meaningful.
In gratitude,
Chris

Hi Chris .. that’s so good to know – that you’re having success, making progress and still acting – ie not sitting on your laurels from the last worshop .. It must make such a difference having Rosy with you .. I hope to be able to be around a bit more in a month or two .. just for now – lots taking my energies .. but just glad to know you’re moving along happily.
Good for you – long may it last .. and have a wonderful Father’s Day today .. Hilary

Hi Hilary — yes, it does make a huge difference working with Rosy — when she’s there I don’t feel like I have to take charge of everything and fill all the space during the more open-ended exercises we do, which is a great source of relief for me. Watch this space — our South African workshop tour is surely coming soon!

It looks like you got some great feedback. Great job helping people unleash their best.

Good for you to have fun as well at your own workshop. If you don’t have fun how can the others have fun? I am pleased you have become security conscious, you famous people have to watch out.
But seriously, it is great when a workshop is appreciated and we sure can do with some realignment in the areas you are addressing.

Hi J.D. — thanks for the appreciation. It was definitely as much of a reality-shifting experience for me as it was for the participants — I no longer have any doubt that this is what I’m here to do.

Hi Wilma — it’s true, a lot of people need guidance when it comes to having fun these days, and I often need to reluctantly shoulder that burden.
I hope you’ll come join us when we “go global” and reach NZ!

Congratulations, Chris, on all the new stuff happening in your world! Thank you for passing along your wisdom!

Hi Marie — thanks for the appreciation. These are definitely exciting and sometimes exhausting times for me!

Hey Chris – Congratulations! It’s very inspiring to see you walking your talk. And I’m going to click over to the radio interviews right now.

Hey, do I really have the good fortune of knowing you, Chris? You are THE go-to productivity guy, and can only keep growing your sphere of contacts and influence.
And the Austin date is when??

Hi Patty — thanks, I’m glad to be of inspiration. It occurred to me recently that these live workshops are what the rest of what I do is really about — my writings and talks and so on are actually there to help me get the opportunity to serve people with this in-person work.

Hi Jannie — well, I’m the go-to New-Agey productivity guy, at least.
If you know some folks in Austin who’d be interested in the kind of work Rosy and I do, I’d seriously be happy to come down and be of service to y’all!
