Melanie, one of the many women who attended our research discussion groups, took me aside after the session, telling me how relieved she was. "Before I heard this intelligent, sophisticated group of women talking about their issues and concerns, I thought that I was the only one who felt like she was on unmapped terrain, reinventing what it means to be a woman my age as I went along."

"Wouldn't it be great", she continued, "if whenever I was seeking an answer or solution to a question or concern, I could tap into the communal wisdom of our generation!" Imagine, improving your intuitive decision-making skills, particularly when faced with issues that you just can't seem to resolve through your normal problem-solving techniques! How about having answers at your finger-tips concerning the one hundred most frequently-asked questions about ambition and success, including life balance issues and issues of meaning?

INTUITIVE DECISION-MAKING E-LESSON

Are you frustrated by a personal or professional problem that you just can't seem to resolve? Rational based methods can often stonewall solutions. This course is based on Carol Orsborn's book Solved by Sunset. In ten easy lessons, you will be guided through an intuitive decision-making process. Taking the best of right brain/left brain, western/eastern thinking, you will be guided to make powerful decisions in every area of your life. In this Guide you will learn:

• How to create the environment and frame of mind most conducive to successful problem solving.
• How to put problems in context, re-evaluate goals, and trust your emotions by listening to inner wisdom.
• How to understand the role of problems in your life and what it means to solve your issues.

"This empowers the individual going through this process to search within for the answers that are already there, just obscured by life's external noise."--T.S., Ohio.

THE GUIDE TO BALANCED LIVING E-LESSON

This is a light-hearted but effective lesson series aimed at our daughter's generation of women suffering from the notion that they could--or should--have it all. This guide is for those who have realized that life in the fast lane is not leading to the promised land of fulfillment--but to exhaustion.

This guide is also for those who have lost their momentum. Once you felt energized and inspired. Now you're drained and frustrated. In this electronic book of lessons, you are offered humorous insights and interactive self-assessments to help you regain the right balance in your life. This guide is based on the belief that success in life isn't about having the perfect job or even the best attitude. It's about understanding who you are and finding practical ways--and sufficient courage--to express that in your life and work, without being excessively hindered by other people's expectations and demands.

"This is simply excellent. I have been recommending this to friends, colleagues, and clients, and have personally benefited from this approach, as well. On a philosophical level, these ideas make a lot of sense and have also helped me to integrate my own views and philosophies into my work, life and consulting."

--K.M., Nevada

"In the process of survival we pay a great price, and the resultant complexity and confusion make it even more difficult to find our way. I had lost mine but your book helped me find it again. For this, thank you seems too small a phrase."

--E.B. England
