What a great idea! I would love to attend a workshop!

Personally, although I would be interested in attanding a workshop by Steve, I would be a lot more interested in attending a workshop by Erin.

I know that initially your workshops will be local to you in Las Vegas, but once you start venturing out, is there any way you could give a workshop in the Southeast US??? (Ideally, North/South Carolina). I live in the Charlotte area and it seems like there aren't many people down here in the Bible Belt that are open minded about subjects such as metaphysics - I feel so alone and would love to attend a workshop by Erin!!!

However, I also feel that there would be a *lot* of people down here who would attend a personal development workshop.

My answers to your specific questions are below. Thanks for the opportunity to submit my opinion!

If we host a workshop or seminar in Las Vegas, under what conditions, if any, would you choose to attend?
-- For me, location matters the most, and unfortunately, Las Vegas isn't viable.

On a scale of 1-5, how appealing is this idea to you (1 = I’d never go, 5 = I wouldn’t miss it for the world)?
-- 5; If it was in a location closer to me then I wouldnn't miss it for the world.

What personal development topics are of greatest interest to you? What would you want to learn?
-- Leadership; something career related

In what area(s) of life are you struggling the most (finances, relationships, health, career, etc)?
-- Career

If you could make only one specific improvement in your life by attending such a workshop, what would it be?
-- Learn to effectively lead a group of diverse people

What is your preferred learning style? Do you prefer highly interactive, experiential workshops with lots of activities? Or do you prefer more lecture and/or PowerPoint presentation, packing in as much raw content as possible? Or do you enjoying mixing it up?
-- Highly interactive, experiential workshops with lots of activities.

How significant a role does pricing play in your decision? Does $300 for a 3-day workshop seem reasonable to you? (That price is near the low-end of typical pricing for a 3-day personal development workshop.)
-- Although it seems a bit pricey, I could probably swing $300; I think it would be worth it.

Do you prefer big seminars with hundreds of attendees or a more intimate setting with a few dozen at most?
-- I think this is one example where smaller is better.
