“Changing our lives begins in the present, rather than someday.”
-Dr. Chip Dodd
Join Dr. Chip Dodd and Dr. Colton Shannon for a continuing education series that doesn't just check a box for your license, but provides a proven architecture for a sustainable life.
3 CEs available for clinicians who attend in person.
*This is an event for clinicians and any professional helper (pastors, physicians, lawyers, educators, parents, entrepreneurs/visionaries, etc.)*
Did you know that the word resolution literally means "to untie again"? It’s not about imposing rigid rules or white-knuckling willpower. It’s about a deep desire to be freed from what constricts us.
Join us for the final event of our Continuing Education series, the Resolutions Workshop, and align your 2027 goals with your core values and mission.
The Resolutions Workshop
A resolution is not about being bound and determined. It literally means "to untie again," reflecting a deep desire to be freed from what constricts us. Yet every year, many get caught in the trap of day 17 or day 221, collapsing into secret shame, avoiding accountability, and waiting for "someday" to start over.
Real transformation happens when we stop using future promises to avoid the gravity of the present. This workshop explores the therapeutic framework of Passion + Purpose + Plan = Successful Outcome.
In this workshop you will learn how to move past "should"-based goals, embrace passion as a willingness to tolerate pain for what truly matters, and build daily plans rooted in community support rather than isolated willpower.
You will walk away with a practical framework to map out your 2027 goals that directly align with your overarching mission and core values.
Here’s What You’re Receiving:
Three hours with Chip and Colton on thriving long-term while helping others.
A folder with extra articles, assessments, and resources for maintaining vibrant connection to your own mission.
Time to connect with other like-minded people.
This event will be live streamed and made available to those who cannot attend in-person. Continuing education credit will not be available to those who watch online. Online attendees will not be vocally participating in the event. It will be a viewing only video.
