Six Months to Live®

A Phone-Based Peer Support Program to Take Stock of Your Life

Ever Notice How Authentic a Person Gets After a Near-Death Experience?

For instance after a heart attack, a person often:

• Gets much more clarity on what's truly important.
• Radically changes lifestyle habits.
• Spends more time with loved ones.
• Finds a more meaningful career and job.
• Is much more present and engaged with themselves and others.

Imagine You Had Only Six Months to Live -- What Would Be Most Important to Do?

• Someone with a health crisis has the support of their medical team and loved ones. Who would you lean on?
• What questions would you ask yourself?
• Do you really have to wait for a crisis before becoming more authentic in your life? No!

The Six Months to Live® program provides guidelines and tools to address the most important considerations in living an authentic and meaningful life. The program places you in a peer coaching group where members pretend that they've been told that they have just six months to live. Then they use the program's tools and the members of their peer coaching group to consider important questions about their lives -- and to take relevant and realistic actions [to address their answers to those questions]. In a peer coaching group, members share support, advice, thoughtful questions and accountabilities to get clear on current priorities, take actions to address each of them -- and learn at the same time.

Highly Skilled Facilitator

Meetings will be facilitated by Carter McNamara, MBA, PhD. Carter's bachelor and PhD studies were on existentialism, a school of thought that asserts that if a person does not live an authentic life, then he/she falls into chronic anxiety, boredom and despair. The research from his PhD dissertation helped to produce an Action Learning-based, peer coaching group process in which members guide and support each other to act authentically about current problems or exciting goals.

That peer coaching group process is now used by leading-edge companies around the world for prompt and low-cost results in personal, professional and organizational development. Get more information about our coaching.

Low Cost to Participate in the Program

The program is $295 per person for the entire program, including the training and materials on peer coaching, workbook content and 12-15 hours of peer coaching.
