We all know people who drain us, or at least they would if we allowed them to. But some we simply can't avoid. What we may have forgotten is the feeling of empowerment after meeting with like-minded people who are transitioning through similar issues – career change, managing weight, reconciling with family etc. A professionally facilitated group empowers us to make sequential but deliberate dramatic change.
MIP offers on-line Growth Groups by Teleconference calls where hope is fostered, options are flagged, next steps are made easy and the power of the anonymous on-line group begins to rally round and provide a level of support usually not available due to time and geography constraints. The strength and support of the Powerful Group experience, means that our resolve for Personal Growth does not evaporate. We no longer tolerate mediocrity and what others may wish to dump on us!
Each confidential Growth Group has three consecutive, weekly TeleConference calls for both professionals and those they refer. Topics and further details are listed below. Don’t worry about being identified – after registering, you can go to Edit My Details and provide a Forum and Phone nickname.
The many benefits include:
All Sessions are led by a Professional Coach/ Facilitator
3 Intensive TeleConference Group Sessions for each Growth Group topic
Small Groups of up to 9 per session (either same or mixed gender)
Share your story on a closed Forum where you can receive feedback and group insights
Be inspired by the group dynamics and progress of others in your group
Access to a wide range of robust diagnostic profiling survey results.

#1 Men Overcoming Failure
Edison ‘failed’ many hundreds of times in his quest to invent electric light. But did he feel a failure? Was he was derailed from reaching his potential? He was able to draw strength from what may have seemed to others as needless disappointment. 
Possibly with the support of friends, he was able to objectively look at his situation and plan the next steps beyond his failed attempts. Edison and millions of others have learned to honestly and objectively redefine failure.
We all have frustrations and at least some regrets. We all get disillusioned at times. But depending on our temperament, our socialization as a child at home and through our schooling, we will bring through to our adult social and work life, a measure of resilience to bounce back from disastrous outcomes which drain our energy.
Men and women deal differently with feelings of failure and so we offer separate Groups. Those men electing to do this Growth Group will experience debilitating feelings of failure, possibly as a parent or unable to be a parent, a grown up son, a soul mate, a lover, a professional service provider, a money manager etc. Or maybe you just feel an idiot?
There are two ways to register for this Growth Group:
Those with Annual Membership just click on the Register Now! If you have already paid, the session page will be added to you Member Dashboard. Otherwise you will be asked to log in and pay, and then session page will be added to you Member Dashboard.

The price on the sales sites below includes 30 day membership. Members purchasing from the sales site will receive an extra 30 days membership.
You may purchase a Gift Certificate Voucher for a friend or colleague from our Store.and they can then choose the topic and session times to suite them.
For those who are attending counseling sessions, or under the care of a psychologist or psychiatrist, or those whose mental and emotional health is unstable, this online module ought to be discussed with your health care professional prior to registering. Those who are not internet savvy enough to do Facebook may not gain the benefit they are seeking.
We look forward to having you join us to take steps toward unlocking your work-life potential.

#3 Relationship Anew - Life Beyond Break-ups
This group is for both men and women since it is all too easy to feel rejected by ALL of the opposite sex...
Few people bounce back readily from a ruptured relationship. By far the biggest mistake made is to launch into a new relationship when you are relationally and emotionally injured. Some experts say that, depending on the time spent together, a few years of singleness is the best way to bolster your readiness for another relationship. 
Bounce-back is greatly enhanced by a focus on the future, on the self, the heart, understanding your emotions [or seemingly lack of!] and conserving your ‘worry’ energy for what will bring you through. The alternative for many is slipping into depression, self-pity, resentment, self-destructive addictions and unreasonable attitudes and behaviours, and this is a precursor to illness and disease and loneliness..
This Growth Group addresses ‘belief’, behaviour and 'boundaries' strategies as well as personal values and identity, life purpose and the impact of lying emotions.

#4 Refreshed Again - Beyond Burnout, Anxiety & Depression
Yes people are working longer hours with greater work and social pressures. The economy had brought housing stress to many, business is failing... Enough! Enough!
If you’ve burned out, battled bouts of anxiety or depression, you will agree that this certainly drains your energy and robs your contentment. In fact those affected this way are probably not much fun to be with and in denial about a lot of things. If this is you, it’s okay to get help. This support group is for you.
Chances are your Group Coach has also been through at least one of the three, and everyone in the group will have some success strategies to share.
Apart from remaining in denial and trying to ‘pull up your socks,’ by far the biggest mistake made is to do something crazy when you are down like going into debt for ‘comfort’ purchases, making major career and life decisions, and blaming others.

#5 Men Managing the Porn Prison
This is a support group for Men only.
So guys, what's wrong with a bit of porn?
Or as some put it, allowing a bit of stimulating fantasy to use you?
An extended phase of acting out sex without a loving relational context is NEVER without consequences. If you don't want to look at the research, just ask your spouse or your girlfriend or your mother. If their responses are unconvincing, maybe look at some articles on the explosive growth in sex related crime, in violence against women and children, the manner in which porn is so addictive, and the association with mental illness. 
Apart from what the evidence shows soft port often leads to, it is so often a key issue in the inability to form and maintain rewarding relationships. Motivation to address these issues comes from knowing that the real victims are all too often our own career advancement, our own present (or future) wives and children, and societal cohesiveness.
During this Growth Group, men will encounter strategies to assist them to unravel a whole bunch of never-talked-about-issues and dispel myths about manhood. You will gain both knowledge and confidence to develop and maintain your own sexual health and moral integrity, and also be equipped to influence others in what Steve Arterburn has called Every Man's Battle.
This group addresses ‘belief’, behaviour and 'boundaries' strategies as well as personal values and identity, life purpose and the impact of lying emotions.

#6 Women Regaining Confidence for Intimacy
This is a Support Group for Women only
Researchers say one in four adult females have been sexually abused. Sexual abuse can really impact both emotional and physical health. If you were sexually abused as a child or adolescent, you may well feel guilt, shame, resentment, grief, be on an emotional roller-coaster, betrayed, depressed isolated or insecure.
As a result, you may have body image issues, find it hard to trust anyone, find intimacy in relationships difficult, struggle with depression, find sex disgusting or humiliating, feel crazy without reason, be a people pleaser or force yourself to stay busy.
This is not an abuse course, nor counseling, but is a support group for those who want and need emotional, relational and strategy support, rather than more head knowledge. You can get mere information from books.
This support group is a starting point for understanding powerlessness and empowerment, dealing with aspects of shame and guilt, sexual healing and healthy sexuality, being loved, the restoration of trust and building positive relationships.
This Growth Group addresses ‘belief’, behaviour and 'boundaries' strategies as well as personal values and identity, life purpose and the impact of lying emotions.
There are two ways to register for this Growth Group:
Those with Annual Membership just click on the Register Now! If you have already paid, the session page will be added to you Member Dashboard. Otherwise you will be asked to log in and pay, and then session page will be added to you Member Dashboard.

#7 Men Restoring Work-Life Passion, Peace & Intimacy
This group is for Men only
For many, no matter what time of the day, they feel exhausted. Many others struggle with the question of what they are really passionate about... like nothing much! Having a contented, relaxing disposition has never been the norm for many others. ‘Living your Dreams’ is an expression which makes others cynical, even resentful. Where are you on these matters?
This might sounds like a group for grumpy old men, except that age, social status or education have no monopoly on men seeing their dreams evaporate.
The good news is that a measure of peace and contentment can be restored, probably not in three TeleConference calls, but when those in this support group are prepared to work objectively through their issues, and take personal responsibility for the outcomes, a good measure of sustainable ‘passion restored’ will eventuate.
This Growth Group addresses ‘belief’, behaviour and 'boundaries' strategies as well as personal values and identity, life purpose and the impact of lying emotions.
There are two ways to register for this Growth Group:
Those with Annual Membership just click on the Register Now! If you have already paid, the session page will be added to you Member Dashboard. Otherwise you will be asked to log in and pay, and then session page will be added to you Member Dashboard.

For those who are attending counseling sessions, or under the care of a psychologist or psychiatrist, or those whose mental and emotional health is unstable, this online module ought to be discussed with your health care professional prior to registering. Those who are not internet savvy enough to do Facebook may not gain the benefit they are seeking.
We look forward to having you join us to take steps toward unlocking your work-life potential.

#8 Managing Power over Anger
We recognize anger. Even when we deny we are angry, those around us are not fooled! 
Some of us almost perfect the art of of pretending we are not angry when we are... and then all hell breaks loose.
We typically know anger to be anything from annoyance to rage. Anger is a completely normal, usually healthy, human emotion until the energy is misdirected. Though it comes down to choice, it can seem the angry person is out of control. It can then be destructive to home and work settings, and can turn relationships toxic. Anger can also be associated with loss, not only of a loved one, but also a pet, a job, youthfulness, a relationship etc.
Whereas love is the emotion that facilitates, anger is the emotion that obstructs. Love fosters balance and manages ange, whereas unresolved anger pushes people towards illness and excess.
This is NOT an anger management course; nor is it counseling. It is a very effective support group package for those who want and need emotional, relational and strategy support, rather than more head knowledge. You can get mere information from books.
This Growth Group uses a coaching approach for those with courage to address both ‘belief’ and behaviour strategies, along with their personal values and identity, your likely life purpose and the impact of lying emotions.
There are two ways to register for this Growth Group:
Those with Annual Membership just click on the Register Now! If you have already paid, the session page will be added to you Member Dashboard. Otherwise you will be asked to log in and pay, and then session page will be added to you Member Dashboard.

For those who are attending counseling sessions, or under the care of a psychologist or psychiatrist, or those whose mental and emotional health is unstable, this online module ought to be discussed with your health care professional prior to registering. Those who are not internet savvy enough to do Facebook may not gain the benefit they are seeking.
We look forward to having you join us to take steps toward unlocking your work-life potential.
