SACRED AMBITION

Turning point

“My biggest breakthrough came from realizing I was subconsciously limiting my own desires. i wasn’t allowing myself to fully my true desire. I was already prejudging it.

Through kate’s coaching through the support of the group and the breakouts and the structures that are used, you get reflected back to you and you can start to see how you are.

I could see what was holding me back. I’m now fueled by a powerful sense of desire for my future and feel ready to uplevel my skills. Cate’s coaching was a true turning point, and I highly recommend it.”

greater possibilities

“If you want to grow, you have to hang out with giants. Cate Stillman thank you! I was listening to the last session while on a bike ride. I take you with me on my favorite outings and I hoard what I learn, then apply it. That’s one way I try to improve the world. I run a social profit organization that connects youth to the outdoors.

The ‘12 ethos’ of Master of You helped me align my personal, professional and organizational goals toward a single target – to thrive.

The way I show up in the world is the way my organization shows up. After only three months I see much greater possibilities for positive impact, I’m not thinking small anymore. I don’t just just see opportunities, but I’ve designed strategies to meet them.

The path is clear and I’m walking it with my head held high, Shoulders back, Heart open and eyes trained on the target. This feels great!

leadership

Before working with CateI was questioning my purpose. I had looked at my past, but it was all just an intellectual exercise. This experience allowed me to truly embody my past from a different perspective and see my real themes. Now I have the clarity and a plan to move forward. It was a great experience to feel my true self and come out with a clear vision for the next five years.

When I came into the CLUB, I was completely burnt out, working long hours, traveling constantly, and felt like I had lost my way. I just remember telling my coach, “I just need something to be different.” As a chemical engineer, my career had been my identity, and it was hard to feel relatable or even take care of myself. I was used to proving myself, but I had lost a sense of my own well-being. The program gave me the tools to reset my body and mind, helping me lose over 40 pounds without even trying. The biggest change wasn’t the weight loss, but the realization that I could create a life with more ease.

Business Leader

I was able to sell my business and transition into retirement. Cate made it easier to develop and leave with a much clearer picture of the actionable steps I need to take to reach my goals.

I loved the breakout rooms, really helped get me focused. Listening to what one needs to do to identify our SWOT and then bake that into our strategy is one thing, but laying it out then telling others really helped get me much more focused and organized. I love the big picture stuff and all the details too, but it can be challenging to know how best to use my time for example during a 1 hour window of time I set aside…..

I really felt such excitement about the work this workshop generated that we wanted to keep it alive, so we are now meeting weekly to hold ourselves accountable to making progress in our one year goals. For me it is really important to be part of a small group where we get to really know each other and state specific weekly or biweekly goals and then be accountable.

Breakthroughs

The welcome and incredible support and continual inspiration of a community! Additionally, there was an emotional healing and personal growth component that was truly unanticipated. This journey was more powerful and transformative than years of individual therapy could have provided.

The personal challenges that were faced–and worked through in the safe container of a community were profound. Values and beliefs were clarified–outdated beliefs were excavated, digested, and released. There were fairly frequent breakdowns, each followed by equally powerful breakthroughs. It was a roller-coaster ride for which I will be forever grateful.

Business Sale

Club Hero was a natural next step for me after the incredible personal evolution I experienced with Club Thrive. As a business owner, I was facing a crossroads at age 60. Club Hero helped me grow and lead my company, and then sell it. I learned to implement new skills, like strategic calendaring, which has allowed me to prioritize my well-being while also helping my team become more focused and effective.

The experience has given me a new set of tools to lead with vision, and it has made me feel like the work I do is even more important.

I worked with Cate in CLUB THRIVE for 2 years. I was able to sell my company and retire. Plus, I got much healthier… and also empowered in my marriage. Now, I’m on to my next purpose. Thank you, Cate. Truly, life-changing.

real connection

“I came all the way from Germany for our members event with Cate, and it was so worth it. Before the event, I was stressed, doubting myself, and had lost the fun in my business. The experience was incredibly intense and provided a space for real connection. I gained so much clarity about my beliefs and fears. Now I feel a sense of freedom, lightheartedness, and motivation.

Thank you, Cate, for creating this space.”

big transformations

I really love the curriculum and the community that has developed around it and the monthly call with my mentor 💫 Everyone is moving in the same general direction and shows up with a growth mindset. There are open conversations, big transformations, daily insights. People are on different parts of the heal and hero journey and I like having the representations of both in one community and how easily we all integrate and can relate. I’ve expanded my knowledge and can find my growth edge here.

GROWTH in community

I cannot begin to count the times or ways that Club Thrive has been the keystone in my journey of discovering and embracing my best version of me.

Whether I am on a call live, catching a replay, or just taking a quick scroll through the forum, it is rare that something doesn’t inspire me to improve “just one little thing” that leads to another, and another…

The fire of transformation burns so brightly in this group..held gently in a container of sincere respect and compassion with fun and playful kindling to keep it crackling. 😉

Anyway, can’t say enough about how much I have grown in my ability to Thrive since I have been in this community. ❤️✌️

strength

In Club Thrive, I stepped up my business, my parenting, and my body. The result is that life is even more joyful than I ever thought possible.

I have allowed myself to be creative (rather than productive), which actually produces more and higher quality work in a way I enjoy much more than the old paradigm of pressuring myself and procrastinating.

It is like having a perpetual beginner’s mind to ask myself multiple times a day, what does allowing look like now? Sometimes I surprise myself – in good ways!

focus

Was great to have focused time to really hone in on my goals.. But I actually liked that I didn’t “get” all of it – gave me something to move toward.

- Dr. Betsy Rippentrop

strategic thinking

Compared to last year, I have less aversion about the hard planning and strategic thinking. The process is becoming more familiar. You must try and experience it!!!

- Mariko Lavender Jones

leader

I became a leader of a transformational journey, I’m results focused with my clients/patients/students, I’m now able to work from anywhere, I now have skills in leading a dynamic group, I learned sales as a service, I learned marketing as a service, I now have a system for sales and marketing, I became more organized, I’m better with managing my time and work projects.

- Emily Glaser

VISIBILITY

I’ve always struggled with visibility, but I realized it doesn’t have to be a struggle. Teaching the movement workshop was effortless and not about me being the focus; it was about creating a space for something cool to happen. I learned that visibility is just about capturing moments of my life as I’m doing what I love, and that’s more powerful than forcing anything.

I had a lot of doubt and fear about my vision for the future. I came to this retreat realizing that what I’m committed to is a lot bigger than I had been allowing. The community was so willing to be vulnerable, and it gave me the space to open up. I’m leaving fully committed to my vision and so grateful for the support I found here.”

Values

“I so much appreciate the structure, content and professionalism of the course(s). The balance between the information, videos & exercises to work through ourselves (supported by a great website and app!), the group and individual coaching sessions & the community on the forum is a phenomenal recipe for accelerated growth and results. This course is making me true to myself and my values, and therefore to everyone around me. And I’m ready for the hard work that comes with it!”

- Ranah Gitsels

Intuition

My first reflection was feeling like I was under some kind of mystic spell… this shit really works! Cate would talk, the spell would be laid, and the results would just miraculously happen. But, now I am realizing it is not a spell, or magic, it is much more simple and intuitive – it is aligning to the universe and the natural rhythms of our planet.

Leader

I can shift from my old identity into my evolved self much more smoothly and efficiently. I feel more like a leader now, and I am recognizing my true self. I have the exact tools I needed to move myself forward!

Brought meaning and direction in my life with specific actionable steps in my daily life to achieve my life’s purpose in this life. Namaste.

HABITS

I have been implementing the 10 habits from Ayurveda and Yoga for over a year now and I can honestly say it has been a GAME CHANGER. Being able to cycle through this deep wisdom, in such a supportive way, with other like minded individuals all on their own journey towards optimum health and well being has been nothing short of inspirational.

I have unravelled so many habits that were no longer serving me – that I just was not able to deconstruct on my own. I was able to clearly see the stories that I was telling myself that were holding me back from my own evolution. This is a life long path for me now.
