Solution to Business Challenges is a 5K Away

Are you experiencing challenges in your company, department or place of business? Do you need everyone to step up, do more or learn to get along? Don't spend another dime on a sales trainer or roll out another new policy or program. The real solution is only a 5K away! The benefits in myself and those I've coached have been life-changing. You will see the same amazing transformation in your company, department, or organization when you experience the camaraderie and achievement of training and finishing a 5K together.

This program and my personalized coaching, whether on-line or in the office, will empower you and your staff to be ready for a 5K in less than three months. Whether the participants run, wog, or simply walk, the results of increased productivity, improved communication, reduced stress and many more benefits will be experienced by all!


IT’S NOT YOUR AVERAGE, BORING TRAINING PROGRAM!
****
THINK YOU’RE NOT A RUNNER?
HATE EXERCISE?
TOO TIRED AND ACHY TO START?
THINK RACES ARE ONLY FOR THE SUPER FIT?
THINK YOU’D GIVE UP TOO EASILY ??

THINK AGAIN!!

is the program for . . .
Beginners
Non-exercisers
Lapsed runners
Couch potatoes
Sweet potatoes,
Only-to-the-mailbox Walkers
Lollygagger’s
Skeptics
and
YOU!!!

In 2006, I was the biggest skeptic, non-runner, non-exerciser on the planet. By the end of 2008, I have completed 9 5K’s and logged many running miles. I’ve been able to lose and keep off the 15 pounds, which had always eluded me. I increased my confidence, and changed the entire way I felt about my appearance. AND that was just the beginning. . .


RUNNING MY FIRST 5K SHATTERED MY PERSONAL BELIEF ABOUT WHAT I WAS CAPABLE OF DOING AND ACHIEVING!! ONCE THAT LIMITING BELIEF WAS SHATTERED, I BEGAN TO EXPLORE AND DISPEL MANY OTHERS.

YOU WILL TOO!!!

IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT RUNNING!!


I can say this without a doubt, if you commit to this, simple, yet powerful program, you will have INCREASED ENERGY, A DECREASE IN DEPRESSION, LESS STRESS AND ANXIETY, MORE CREATIVITY, and IMPROVED CLARITY OF THOUGHT and FOCUS


WHAT’S SO GREAT ABOUT THIS PROGRAM???

LOW EXPECTATIONS!
YOU WALK FIRST!
YOU WOG NEXT!
YOU RUN WHEN YOU’RE READY!
AND BEST OF ALL –

YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE TO RUN
TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME RESULTS!

Let me repeat that. . .
YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE TO RUN
TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME RESULTS!

Start out running? Not in this program. Based on my experience and the advice from my advisory team of experts, people fail because they lack knowledge of the mental, physical and spiritual aspect of running.

The Slightly Off 5K program is unique in that it will include several different types of learning and training. Instead of simply going on-line and finding a running schedule, I will help you achieve success by focusing on motivational tools that work for YOU. This is a highly personalized program that focuses on the mind, body and spirit connection. In 3 short months, you’ll be ready for your first 5K.


WALKERS ENCOURAGED TO JOIN TOO!
If you are just beginning, or have been advised that running is not for you, but still want to experience the thrill of accomplishment, renewed energy, confidence and excitement that comes with finishing a 5K, then this program is for you. Walking your first 5K is as powerful as running it. And the consistent walking program will benefit you in more ways than you can imagine.

Why me, Deb DiSandro? Am I an expert on running? No way! As a matter of fact, I've never won a race. I'm an average runner, but a professional encourager with a proven track record of of helping people reach their personal goals. I’m someone who knows what it’s like to struggle. I’m someone who has given up and overcame the “buts” to begin again and win.

I’m your professional encourager and coach and I want to help you. If you have a question I can’t answer, my advisory team of experts are standing by, ready to share their wisdom and guidance.
DEB’S COACHING INCLUDES:

Teleconferences (both live and recorded) with experts in running, health, success coaching, and inspirational stories, spaced throughout the program to give you that boost of confidence and encouragement just when you need it – with experts in running, nutrition, success coaching and more!

Sign Up for How to Write a Book the Slightly Off Way

I am excited to announce that the first How to Write a Book the Slightly Off Way was a great success! The next class officially begins September 23rd, but registration is open now. Space is limited to the first 20 participants, so don't wait until the last day!

We’d like to help you get that book out of your head and onto paper! Read what participants from the first class had to say:
**
Thank you so much for the wonderful writing workshop. I've always said "I'm not a writer, but I've got a lot to say!" Your class helped me discover that I can write in a way that makes people want more. Both of you were so giving of your time and expertise as were the guests you interviewed. Some day when I see my book for sale in the store, I know who to include in the credits! Deb and Diane!

After sitting on the first chapter of my novel for two years without any action, I decided it couldn't hurt to sign up for Deb and Dianne's class, which suggested I could write my novel in six months. Well, I was not convinced, but signed up anyway. What do you know, it worked! Six months later I had completed the first draft of my novel. The weekly assignments, twice weekly writing tips, monthly teleconferences with other professionals, plus constant support and encouragement from these two ladies was exactly what I needed to get the job done.

It took me forever to get started writing my book, but with Deb and Dianne's encouragement, and lots of good ideas for getting past the block, I finally got started and haven't stopped since. Writing a book the Slightly Off Way has given me the structure and the freedom to write the way I need to. The conference calls were stimulating and informative, and getting to know some of the other students was a bonus. For reticent writers, for any writers, I can and will, highly recommend this course.

*****
I strongly urge anyone who is interested in honing their writing skills to take your online workshop. I found the weekly tips to be valuable, and the readily available advice via phone or email made us aspiring writers feel connected to a lifeline, not just set adrift. The phone conferences with professionals in the industry also gave us inside information about how to improve our writing, and how to present it in an acceptable format.

No matter what level of competency a writer has achieved, there will be some advantage to the tips and advice from Deb DiSandro and Dianne Morr. In my own experience, I needed the structure of a workshop plan to goad me into the discipline of writing even when the inspirations were slow in coming. Their critical comments and suggestions were also helpful, and gave me new ways to express my thoughts.
