In this opening session of the "Renovate Yourself, Renovate Your Wealth" workshop, the facilitator sets the tone for a full‑day, interactive experience focused on personal transformation and redefining wealth. Participants are asked to adopt an open intention, acknowledging that outcomes are unknown but that awareness of personal money stories will emerge. The speaker outlines five core values that will guide the day: Truth (honest self‑reflection, noting discomfort), Service (investing time as a precious resource for oneself and the group), Focus (letting go of "shoulds" to view life with fresh innocence), Self‑Responsibility (grounding learnings after each activity), and Confidentiality (protecting shared personal stories). The agenda is presented as four modules – two morning awareness modules followed by a lunch break, then two afternoon modules aimed at defining the desired life. The facilitator emphasizes that participants are already wealthy, encouraging a shift in perception of wealth, and promises recordings for later reflection. The session concludes with a call for agreement on the values and a reminder of the supportive, collaborative environment.

Going to be a really, really exciting day and I am so excited about bringing you all to this work and looking at, you know, the concept of renovating yourself and renovating your wealth and it's going to be a fun, packed day. I really want to give you a set, an intention for today that you are just really open to the fact that you don't need to really know how this is all going to pan out. Just be in the absolute moment of being aware of some of the money stories and the things that come up for you across, you know, the, the, I guess, frameworks that you work under. And so, you know, I really would love everyone to just really set the intention right up front for how we are going to be today. There's going to be a lot of breaks. I'm going to give everyone a real opportunity to share and to take some of this away. And whilst we do that, we're going to support each other as well. So I'll get you to bring up your workbook and because I think it's really important that we just set a really clear intention of everything that we want to do and how we want to do it. And for me, you know, that's really around just first of all, setting the, the theme for the day and, you know, my theme is really that you are already wealthy and you just need to see it. And a lot of people that I've worked with over the years, you know, this has been a constant kind of reminder. They might seem to have it or they might seem to struggle to get things, or they may just have things out of their grasp. And I'd really like for you to take away at the end of the day that this really is something that is for you and is achievable for you and maybe even redefine what wealth is. But before we get started, I just want to touch on the values and I think it's really important that we set our values before we start any training and before we engage with anyone, actually. And, you know, the first value that I've got listed down that workbook is truth. Because I think that when we're really truthful with ourselves and we're truthful with the things that come up and, you know, a lot of the signposts that you'll pick up today are going to be uncomfortable. And so when things get uncomfortable and you're feeling that resistance, I really want you to just honestly acknowledge that and maybe just jot it down for future reference. But it's really important to me that you know, we turn up vulnerably, we turn up honestly, and we turn up in truth. And that means, you know, dropping into your heart. And if things do come up that are a little bit uncomfortable, note them down rather than resisting them. And the next value that is really important to me also and to how we engage with each other is to be of service. So, you know, we are here as just powerful people who have taken the time out of a busy Saturday and really made the investment not just financially, but with the time, which is possibly our biggest resource. That is limited, but also for ourselves. We're being of service to ourselves and everyone who's here as well. And I know there's people who are here from overseas, there's people who are here, you know, that are on different time zones as well. And you know, you have to rearrange your day. There's people here also that are going to be watching in the future and, you know, I really acknowledge them as well. And also, you know, I want you to know if you are watching this recording, that, you know, we are definitely bringing you into our energy today and I hope you feel it in the future. The next thing that I really would love to talk about is focus. And you know, this is really an opportunity for you to, to think about the ideal life that you want. Often we are just on this, you know, this grindstone and you know, this kind of mouse wheel of, of life and work and turning up and turning up as we should turn up and how we're expected to turn up. And I think, you know, often we get caught up in the way things should be or expectations we should have. And if we can just put our shoulds away at the moment and just see this as an absolute opportunity to maybe bring back all of the things that have been put on us in the past of what we should and how we should be and just focus on ourselves with a real clarity of, you know, let's say, call it innocence, let's call it a new perspective. But if we can focus on how we would like to show up today and not be judgmental of other people and other people's stories and just make it about, you know, how we can honestly be, then, you know, that brings focus to our lives and with that becomes awareness. And with awareness becomes the opportunity to actually have choices on how you show up every single moment. And the second to last value that I would like to bring up is self responsibility. And this is really about the fact that I've been to so many courses. I imagine That a lot of you have also been to a lot of courses and unless you take that self responsibility and even reflection time after you've done a course to really ground yourself into the learnings, the opportunities and from what I would like to come up today for you is really that awareness of how you show up and when you show up, being completely focused in that moment but being aware of how you may have stories from the past that are affecting your judgments, the future and just taking a moment to be aware of those. So take some self responsibilities. I'd love you all to share as much as you can today. It's really important that we do that. Which brings me to the final very important value and that's around confidentiality. And you know, there's an opportunity here for us all to, you know, share our past stories, to share, you know, those moments that we may not be so proud of. And also, you know, there may be opportunities for us to actually start seeing some patterns that have been playing out in our world and they may not always be favorable. And so I really appreciate the fact that you know, you're turning up today with your whole heart and you're turning up today to acknowledge some of those things that may come up but also acknowledge that other people will have these stories as well. So let's keep it within this closed group. As you know, I am recording this and I will be recording it so that as much as possible I can keep our, you know, our feedback sessions separate so that any personal or confidential information will obviously not be made public. But, and I will take all endeavours to do that. But you know, at the end of today, you know, I, I'm really looking forward to you sharing what has come up for you and how you are going to change things for the future. And for that I am so grateful to be here with you because you know, I really am committed to helping people to see their true purpose and to see their potential. And I believe that, you know, often we just have an opportunity that we, we don't acknowledge the greatness within ourselves and we are limited in life and often that's by material conditions that we set up. So does everyone agree? Give me a wavy hands with the values. Anyone disagree, let me know now because we'll, we might have to do a few things if that's the case. So now, so let's just get through a little bit of what we're going to be doing today so no one's shocked or surprised. So as I said, you know, this is going to be a full day. There's four modules that we'll be covering now. The first two of these are going to really be the awareness opportunities for you. And we'll be running those up to lunch. Have a break in between both of those modules so that you can go off and have a bit of a break and, you know, comfort break, but also a bit of a reflection break. And then we'll have an hour for lunch and then we'll come back and the afternoon two modules will really be regarding the opportunities for you to really define the life that you want. So, as you know, you know, I've. I've worked with lots of people over the years. I see people here that I've worked with over the years, I've known for many, many years as well. And I'm truly grateful and humbled to, you know, just be your guide on this awareness today. So there will be a recording available. I'll make it available for you for a couple of weeks after this event so that you can go back and reflect on it and then it will come down. But I want to make sure that everyone has the opportunity to really dive into this work and be available to look at it in the future as well.
