DEFINITIONS

“Breathing Spaces”

Breathing Spaces is the collective name for all the monthly meetings that are held, each one of which is known as a Breathing Space. A Breathing Space is made up of like minded business people and it a place where they can openly discuss what is needed to be successful and enjoy business at the same time. Each month there is a theme upon which the discussion is based and that theme is one of the stages of the Business Enjoyment Model. The theme will be the same each month for all meetings.

“Business Enjoyment Model”

The 6 levels of the Model are Feeling Safe, Find Your Tribe, Inner Confidence, Find Your Purpose, Money Hangups and Enjoy Your Business.

To find out more about the Business Enjoyment Model read “More Than Just Money", if not already done so.

Mission and Purpose of Breathing Spaces

To build a community of people keen to understand themselves and their business better – and willing to help others with their understanding. All within the ethos of the Business Enjoyment concept, that success is about more than just money.

Specific Intention of an Individual Meeting

The meetings are not focussed on answers and solutions. It's not about finding a 6 step action plan to get what you want.

Not that we have an issue with answers, but it's actually quite a short time that we'll be together here and, if we can give answers to your problems in that time, then they can't have been big problems.

Also, if we put an expectation on discovering solutions, it creates pressure, which hinders the creative process.

Instead, we want you to start thinking about things differently, get a different perspective on situations and to continue that thought process after we've finished.

Without being attached to finding solutions we can explore a better quality of question - which may take longer to resolve but, ultimately, will be of more value.

General Meeting Structure and How To Get Involved

The general meeting structure is that the facilitator introduces a thought, question or exercise - within the context of the designated theme of the meeting - and then we explore and discuss things and see where it goes.

If you're unsure where or how to participate, be on the look out for three things.

1 A question you may have so that you can better understand what is going on or provide a different point of view.

2 A story or insight you've gained that you may want to share which could help someone else in the group gain better understanding.

3 Or you may have a current issue or situation of your own that you would like to explore better and which the group can help with.

Engage at the level you feel comfortable and remember we've all signed the confidentiality agreement.
