“Working with Robert Elliott is an investment in
yourself. Combining discussion with various meditations, you get a genuine
mind/body experience that results in being more centered, present and true to
yourself. He helps you reach deep inside to speak from your soul. In addition
to making adjustments to previous ways of thinking and acting, you learn more
about what gifts you have to offer the world and how you might use those gifts
to become truly fulfilled.”
~ Heidi Connolly, Director of Strategic Stewardship, Loyola Marymount
University
Program Description:
We are living in a time of great change and transformation.
The very foundations upon which we have built our lives are being shaken.
How do we stay afloat amidst the many challenges that we are
facing?
How do we hold true to our dreams and aspirations?
Through storytelling, writing, meditations, and interactive
exercises, participants will discover how to use this time of uncertainty as an
opportunity for growth, healing, empowerment, and renewed hope.
All sharing will be voluntary.

Presenter: Robert Elliott, MFA
Robert Elliott awakens people to their greater potential and inspires them
to reap the benefits of a life lived authentically. An animated and skillful storyteller,
his use of metaphor clarifies the seemingly complex issues of our lives in a
simple, straightforward manner that gets to the heart of things.
For twenty five years, Mr. Elliott worked with individuals
and groups throughout North America, Asia, Micronesia,
and Europe as a corporate educator and
leadership coach. He conducted his “Creating Quality” leadership,
communication, and relationship building programs with executives, middle
management, and support personnel from Fortune 500 companies as well as smaller
companies in the fields of healthcare, insurance, entertainment, and
manufacturing. In addition, he has worked with federal and state agencies, the
military, law enforcement, and county and city governments. He has served on
the business faculties of UCLA, UC Irvine and Loyola Marymount University Extension
Programs.
Mr. Elliott has a broad range of expertise in the arts. He earned a Masters of Fine Arts from Sarah Lawrence
College and was an actor
in his early professional life. In
addition, he has a black belt in Aikido, a Japanese martial art dedicated to
living in harmony with all things. He plays numerous musical instruments, is a
songwriter and composer, and has studied ballet and movement. He has also practiced
Zen meditation, and has studied Jungian psychology, mythology, and West African
and Balinese spirituality.
