Fly Fishing at Your Edge
When Kathy Sparrow first embarked upon the sport of fly fishing, she thought she was learning a new sport to catch fish. However, she soon learned that there was another plan in store for her as the Lower Laguna Madre. The Mother Lagoon and the sport of fly fishing brought her face-to-face with her fears, self-imposed limitations and challenged her to grow beyond who she thought she was. Ultimately, she discovered that her changes on the water influenced all aspects of her life on land.
And so, Kathy would like to offer that opportunity to you.
You’ll begin with the Be Well Lead Well Pulse® assessment, which measures our ability to thrive even when facing life’s most difficult challenges. “The theories of adult development shaping Be Well Lead Well Pulse® emphasize psychological wellbeing as an innate resource that people can actively nurture as the basis of human potential, adaptability and growth, fulfillment, and sustainable performance.”
Thriving––not just surviving––personally and professionally is vital for us to positively impact everyone around us–our families, our organizations, and our community.
Your fly-fishing destination is chosen based on your skills and budget. Your days with Kathy will revolve around fly fishing and intentional conversations. You’ll also have time to reflect upon the lessons and discoveries made throughout your day. Many of your discussions with Kathy will be based on the Be Well Lead Well Pulse® assessment outcome, the challenges you’re facing in your life, and your goals.
Kathy will walk alongside you, witnessing how you show up for the opportunity that nature offers. She’ll guide you in recognizing limiting beliefs and patterns that prevent you from living your life to your highest potential as they are revealed to you on the water. Together, you’ll create a plan to strategically make the necessary changes in your life to create the results you desire––and to positively impact and influence your world and those around you.
