Scanner:
Someone fascinated by so many areas she can't settle for only one.

Best selling author, Barbara Sher, whose groundbreaking ideas over the last 35 years have made her ‘the godmother of life coaching’ has created a unique new program that will teach you:

First described in her 1994 New York Times Best Seller “I Could Do Anything If I Only Knew What it Was” and followed last year by her exciting new book “Refuse to Choose”, 'Scanners' – Renaissance men and women, eclectic experts, happy amateurs and delighted dilettantes – now come into their own with this five-day intensive retreat on the beautiful Greek island of Corfu.

Having run 7 retreats now in beautiful settings like Puglia, Italy and Southern France, I've recently gotten several requests to do one again on Corfu, where I first started running these amazing events 3 years ago. Besides being one of the most luscious places in Greece, rich in history, culture and physical beauty, it also happens to be where my son Matthew lives with his family. I can't think of a better excuse to visit my 6 year-old grandson and play "pirate". Matthew has scouted out a charming little 3-star hotel on the east coast, 15 minutes from the historical center and a 5 minute walk to the sea (which should be perfect for afternoon swims–and relatively tourist-free.) The hotel offers single rooms with sea or garden views, a swimming pool and wireless internet access, as well as a buffet breakfast included in its very reasonable prices. (We've also negotiated a free full-day boat excursion and welcome dinner into the price–thanks to Matthew's language and haggling skills.)

The schedule includes:

• Mornings are for meetings with Barbara, defining your Scanner identity, finding the best time and project management tools for you (Yes, bring your blank Scanner Daybooks). Think "avocation stations," and "quarterly creative projects" and finding the Life Design Model that will allow you to do whatever interests you most at any given time while having the career that suits you to a T.

• Afternoons spent with your fellow Scanners, learning and teaching your favorite subjects, walking in the hills or working on a personal project--or all of the above.

• Evenings we meet again and talk of your successes and/or learn Barbara's special techniques to overcome any resistance that has surfaced. (If you go after real dreams, resistance is almost certain to make an appearance!). We'll explore the corners of your Scanner nature and develop the path to your wishes or brainstorm strategies to get around your obstacles.

We've left a free day in the middle of the retreat for a chartered excursion to the north of the island — Kassiopi and the beautiful Loutses caves (lunch included). Here's a description of the area where we'll be staying from the hotel's website:

Some special features of this workshop:

What if you're not a Scanner (or at least, not sure about it)? Do you belong in this Retreat? Let me answer with a resounding Yes, if you, too, have been trying to find your purpose, to pursue a dream, but can't seem to make it happen. Scanner or not, you need to discover the unique gifts that make you different from any other person so you can shape a life that's deeply satisfying. You need to move from wishing to action, just like we all do. And you need to create a Life Design Model that will allow you to work and play in the way that suits who you are.

You'll love the scheduling and project management techniques I'll be teaching at the Retreat. Every one of us has more things we want to do (or have to do!) than we know how to fit into our lives. And too many of us limit what we do in our lives because we're not sure it's okay to want so much. (In this Retreat, you'll change that viewpoint forever!) You see, to find your most profound and satisfying purpose, I believe you must find what you love and do it. What you love is what you were designed to do, and using what's inside you — to the fullest degree possible — is the best way to create a life full of joy and purpose.

And where better to find it than with people who have tried just about everything and plan to try everything else in the near future! :-)
