Alison Armstrong – Living the Queen’s Code
When you join Alison’s special online program, you’ll have a chance to journey through the amazing story of The Queen’s Code — which istold as a riveting tale of transformation — with the author herself, guiding you through each chapter and revealing the backstory and taking you deeper into the core insights.
During the program, we will create a real sisterhood (and welcome in some men as well!) — laughing, speaking our truths, sharing our sagas, and embarking on a whole new way of relating.
Alison is SO looking forward to this journey, a chance to share the many dimensions of The Queen’s Code that didn’t make it into the book, while also offering you a chance to deepen into practices in the book that apply to you.
During the 8 modules of the program, you’ll learn:
- To embrace what it means to be a feelings-based organism and learn how to use those feelings powerfully
- How to understand the male “operating system ” and what makes it different from the way women operate.
- Why curiosity about men will get you further than making assumptions
- How to start asking for what you need in a way that inspires
- How your expectations of other people can damage your self-esteem
- Why the protector and provider archetypes are so important to men (and how to work with them rather than against them)
- How emasculation and objectification trigger each other
- Why even subtle complaints can turn a man who would naturally protect you into someone who is defended and remote
- How simple shifts in word choices to the “Language of Heroes” can call forth the best in men
What You’ll Discover in These 8 Modules
In this 8-part training, Alison will guide you through The Queen’s Code, which reveals the secret code to understanding men, and offers a sacred code of honor for women. It shows women how to get what they need from men while also respecting themselves — and men. It transforms the way women relate to men and teaches them to enhance their relationships and their results by using “The Language of Heroes” with a powerful, inspiring attitude.
Alison Armstrong is a storyteller, and believes in the extraordinary educational, transformational and healing moments available through fiction. Participants will be taken behind the scenes, deeper into the engaging characters and lessons of The Queen’s Code, which is included in your registration. Each session includes an hour of clarification and additional material from Alison, followed by a half-hour Q&A, when she’ll act as your encyclopedia of men and women.
Ideally, participants will read the corresponding chapter of The Queen’s Code ebook before each session. While geared toward women, men seeking to understand the 21st century woman — and what she’s struggling with — are more than welcome!
