Michelle Says:
When people ask me to tell them about myself, I simply say "I’m an absolutely perfect me". I am the best me I can be, today. I do not live my life to compete with anyone else. I strive each day to be a better me. I live my life each day with "Outrageous Excellence." We spend too much time comparing ourselves to others. Be the best you...No one is exactly like you...You are a quite literally "A Perfect You".
Who are you really? What kinds of things do you say to yourself? Are you the person you desire to be? It are those kinds of questions that lead me to ask: What is under your umbrella?
Most people walk around in life just being. They get up, do what they have to do, sleep, and then start it all over again the next day. We start on the Ferris Wheel called life, and we just keep going round, and round in a circle. We do not know how to live our dreams, or find the purpose of our life.
The "What is Under Your Umbrella Self-Esteem Workbook Program" takes you on a journey of self exploration.

Everyone else deserves love......What about me......?
I
I often hear people say “I can’t go to the beach and put on a swimsuit....my body is so ugly” or “ I could never be as good of a Dad as he is.” Why do we compare ourselves to the best of what we see and then tell ourselves we are not good enough?

NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR WHOM?
You
alone are holding yourself back from living the life of your dreams!
Most people walk around dreaming of their ideal life. Just hoping that one day it will all magically change and poof!!!!!!!!!! My dream life is here. We are our greatest deterrent to the life we desire to live. Why? We need a belief in ourselves, the belief that we are capable, good enough, smart enough. Ever since I can remember, I did not let the words of others affect what I wanted to do, or desired to be. I remember years ago a boyfriend said to me “You will never be more than a $40,000 a year person, tops”. “I, however, will makes millions!” I thought, oh yeah! I realized he was just trying to build his own self esteem by trying to quell mine. In his opinion, “I was not good enough”. I can remember teachers, coaches, parents who said “You are not thin enough to be a dancer.” “ You’re not pretty enough to have the lead in the play.” “You are not smart enough to be in this class.” I always had the same reaction...Says who? YOU!!! We can only compete with ourselves…we are unique…We should never be demeaned by someone else’s opinion.
Participants will learn how to:
· Find your dreams and passions
· Compete against their own meter
· Clean up the past...and let it go

NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR WHOM?
Customized for Specific Groups
Not Good Enough For Women
Women often suffer from guilt, low self esteem, and often walk around thinking they are less than perfect because they are not SUPERMOM, SUPERWIFE, SUPERDAUGHTER, SUPERWORKER, etc. Not Good Enough for Women will focus on women specific issues that affect the self-esteem and self- confidence of women.
Not Good Enough for Men
Provider, Father, Worker. In the past 30 years, the male role has changed significantly. Most men wonder “What is my role”? Caught between several schools of thought as to what his role is, most men get caught in not feeling good enough, by not defining what their specific roles are in society. Pressure to keep up with the Jones…to be the best golfer at the club, to balance parenthood and work. Not Good Enough for Men will help define roles and focus on finding success in all the various roles each man plays.
Not Good Enough for Teens
One of the most confusing times of our lives is our teenage years. It is during these years that we are defining who we are, and what we will do, and how we will make decisions that affect the rest of our lives…..Teens often fall prey to not feeling good enough because they listen to their peers.Teens feel pressure by society to fit into molds created by celebrities, or supermodel fashions. Teens will discover how to find what they really want. They will learn not to compete with anyone. Teens will learn that this is the time of their lives to shine, and how to set their future in motion.
OUTRAGEOUS EXCELLENCE....NO MEDICORITY ALLOWED ®
Expect and accept only excellence in your life
Why do we accept mediocrity in our lives? Why do we accept less than we deserve? Why do we settle for part of a life? We all have levels of comfort. If given a billion dollars, some would still buy a simple house, some would buy a house worth a million dollars, and some would buy an island. We all have levels. I am just saying....”live on your level”. Once, while we were travelling, I had a friend that decided she needed new white sports socks...nothing fancy...just a pair of no-name white sport socks. I suggested going to a popular inexpensive retailer for the socks. She was shocked at my ignorant suggestion. We then had to go to a very famous upscale department store at the mall for her white socks. I personally do not need designer socks that are that expensive...she did. Live at your level, and accept nothing less. Most people live on levels less than they desire. Most people except mediocrity in their lives on many levels. Let’s do a level check and see where we are, and where we want to be. What is excellence in your life? What is the level of outrageous excellence in your life?
Participants will learn how to:
· Find the various levels of your life
· Learn how to achieve higher levels
· Let go of mediocrity
· Live a life of Outrageous Excellence
