Now Is My Time is a unique workshop
opportunity exclusively for women. At it's core is an 18-hour curriculum
designed to assist women to identify their life goals and set a realistic
path to reach them. The course is taught from a 45-page workbook through
lectures, worksheets, and lively groups discussions. The fast-moving format
covers such areas as —
• achieving life balance |
| • eliminating procrastination |
| • adopting a successful career strategy |
| • learning no-fault living |
| • eradicating energy depleters |
| • building a support network |
| • finding your personal niche |
The curriculum also focuses on how to ask for
what you want, resolve conflict, enhance your listening skills and use
your intuition. There also are self-tests to identify your personal style
in both routine and stressful situations.
Women leave the course with a notebook brimming with realistic plans,
personal journal observations, useful tips and timely handouts of new
ideas to get the most out of their daily lives.

Where is Now Is My Time Offered?
Now Is My Time founder Lucy Z. Martin originally conceived her program as a week-long travel experience to combine the excitement and learning of travel with the focus that comes from a workshop. More recently, she has structured elements of the workshop portion into one-day intensives and two- and a half-day weekend sessions. Both are available in Oregon or at the group's choice of site. Lucy also offers customized programs available to women's groups around the U.S.A., as well as to women living abroad. In addition to her groups, personal coaching also is offered in one-on-one sessions at Lucy's Portland, Oregon office or by a combination of phone and email contacts to woman in any locale. See details below.
The original format for Now Is My Time are week-long travel workshops
to Mexico and France designed to fast-forward the experience
of personal growth through the learning and insights of foreign travel.
These are annual trips with small groups of women who quickly become friends
and form a supportive network through a week of fun, shared experiences.
Best friends, sisters, and individual women wishing to meet dynamic new
women take these popular trips.
Away from day-to-day responsibilities of jobs and families, women can
concentrate fully on identifying their own dreams and how to achieve them.
Each day includes a three-hour workshop combined with a wide range of
individual and group activities.
Periodically Lucy schedules three-day workshops in Portland, Oregon, as
well as selected cities around the country. See the Trips
& Events section.
Now Is My Time is also taught annually as a three-credit college
course at Marylhurst University in Portland, Oregon. It is a four-day
curriculum taught over two weekends. College credit can be transferred
to other accredited universities. See the Trips
& Events section for the next course dates.
Lucy is available to conduct workshops wherever a group of five or more
women live or would like to congregate. Seminars are conducted for employee
groups, members of a community or women's organization, or with an affinity
group such as a book club, college friends, or grade school neighbors.
Course tuition is waived for the woman who coordinates a custom group.
Contact Lucy for more information on designing
a custom group.
Some women prefer a one-on-one discussion to a group setting, or want help with a single issue rather than an entire workshop. Or the group dates don't work for them. For easy access, personal coaching is available on site or by phone at the client's preference. Exercises are emailed, and a do-able plan is established to make efficient use of time and to meet the client's expectations.
Personal coaching is a great solution for women who want a gentle nudge to get started and to keep them accountable and on track. Phone Lucy to discuss your particular needs.
Individual segments of the Now Is My Time curriculum are easily
presented as stand-alone speeches and keynote addresses. Contact Lucy
to discuss the topic that best suits your group or organization.

As our mothers are so fond of reminding
us: "Dear, you're not getting any younger." If not now, when? Life
has a way of racing by while we're dreaming about what to do "when
I have the time/money/education/wardrobe/husband" (fill in your
own excuse). Now Is My Time seminars are planned
to give women the excuse we often need to take care of ourselves,
and to concentrate solely on our own dreams. Leaving household chores,
job responsibilities, family needs and focusing just on yourself
is a gift no one else can give you.
