As a Dream Factory, this community produces CDO’s. During the last CDO Training we put together the characteristics of a CDO (Chief Dream Officer).

· Centered
· Good Communicator/ Able to enroll others
· Invested in the journey, not the destination
· Clear Vision
· Staying in the soup line--committed
· Discipline
· Delegating
· Focused, Responsible, Accountable
· In Action
· Confidence, Faith, Belief
· Has a plan & allows things to unfold
· Open to shift
· Ask for what they want!—I am picking this one.
· Own their Gifts

In observing the participants who are graduating from CDO Trainings, I definitely see women who are displaying these characteristics. We all have them; it just has you focus on developing them. For example, you can see it in Penny Dickson as she creates her new venture, Women’s Wilderness Retreats; Confidence, Faith, Belief, In-Action, Focused, Responsible, Accountable, Open to Shift and all of the above. (Come see for yourself at the Women in Business Luncheon this Thursday, Feb 12th)

Pick one of these characteristics, and focus on it this week---notice where you naturally demonstrate it. Put it in where it is missing.

Want to become a CDO---join us on February 25th for our next training.
