LOOP is a Ten-Step Personal Planning Process
 
LOOP is a personal planning process developed over the last (almost) fifteen years which has been studied, improved, written, re-written and fine-tuned -based on participant feedback and our own experience. We have conducted LOOPS all over the world for graduate students, newlyweds, retirees, individuals, couples and families who want to plan or redirect their futures. We have also done LOOPs for couples and workers in conflict, those who are having difficulties with their relationship is and people stuck in joyless, work-focused lifestyles. But mostly, we do LOOPs for people who just want to redirect their futures.
In the US we have done LOOPs in Atlanta, Belfair, Baltimore, Chicago, Miami, NYC, Seattle, and Washington DC. In Europe and Asia we have done workshops in India, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK and France--in homes, apartments, castles, villas, offices, training centers and at our own Inn at Tiger Lake. We have done LOOPs for students, individuals, couples and for mixed groups of individuals and couples, and for groups of men and women -- separately and together. And, we truly believe that we have outlined a process that works. |
