How do you develop the confidence to navigate life’s transitions and take on new personal and professional challenges – such as, for example, the challenge of writing and publishing a book when you’ve never done so before? 

At this FREE WriteSPACE Special Event, international writing expert Helen Sword was joined by Lois van Waardenberg, a self-described “cross-disciplinary thinker, empathetic leader, coach, author, and human being who believes in the power of personal evolution.” In the space of just a few short months last year, Lois conceived of, researched, outlined, wrote, revised, and published Confidence Constellations, Actions and Insights for Changing Humans, which then went on to win the 2024 Firebird Book Award in the Personal Growth category — an inspiring example of confidence and courage rewarded. 

In the first hour of this two-hour event, Helen and Lois discussed how Lois’ own extensive experience of guiding organizations and individuals through transitions and change – and of navigating personal and physical challenges in her own life – empowered her to take on the ambitious project of writing this book. 

The second hour consisted of a hands-on writing workshop based on Lois’ five “Confidence Constellations,” which spell out the acronym MAJIC:

∙      The MYSELF Constellation

∙     The ACTIVATION Constellation

∙     The JOURNEY Constellation

∙     The ILLUMINATIONS Constellation

∙     The COMMUNITY Constellation

The video of first hour of this event is free to all who register. The workshop in the second hour is available in the WriteSPACE Video library for members. (Not a member? Click here and use the discount code SPACEPASS to try free for 30 days.)
