What people
are saying about
Boldly Shine
"Content was great, the books were awesome! You have developed one of my favorite group curriculums I have led and I have led groups for 15 plus years now. Great job!!"
​
"I took a chance and took the course. Everything Barb talked about resonated with me so deeply and helped me to grow so much as a person and spiritually. I loved being able to connect with others also going through the class and share in their insights. After the class, keeping engaged meant a lot to me at a time in life where I needed the extra support to continue to put the things learned into practice that I still use today."
Bring Boldly Shine to Life: Your Simple Roadmap to Starting a Group
1. Get Started
Once you’ve purchased your Toolbox, decide how your group will meet, online or in person. The Toolbox provides what you need for either format. Make sure you have internet access and screen-sharing capability to enhance the experience.
3. Spread the Word
Now that your plan is set, use the promotional materials in your Toolbox to get the word out. Boldly Shine is not only a meaningful program for participants but also a powerful community outreach tool. Leverage this opportunity to invite others.
5. Gather Materials
Each participant will need to get their Participant Toolkit from The Dented Fender STORE. For you and any additional leaders, the Host Toolbox provides all the materials needed to guide the group.
2. Plan Your Group & Schedule
Next, finalize the details. Choose a meeting time, ideally weekly. We recommend two-hour sessions per class for nine weeks, with an optional tenth week for parents. If your group will be larger, consider gathering additional leaders to help with discussions—training and leader guides are included.
4. Organize
As your group forms, communicate key details, like the start date and the need for participants to purchase their Participant Toolkits. The Toolbox will support you in managing these logistics and ensure everyone is ready for the journey.
6. YOU'RE READY TO SHINE!
With these simple steps, you have everything you need to confidently lead your Boldly Shine group. Now, it's time to bring transformation to your gathering and watch the impact unfold!
Common Questions
1 / Do I have to be a counselor or therapist to host a group?
Not at all! The goal of Boldly Shine is for each person to find their own answers. As a group leader, your job is to listen and ask questions. The Toolbox includes training for both of these topics.
2 / What if I don't know how to answer someone's questions?
You don't need to have all the answers. In fact, the ground rules included in the Toolkit make it clear that each person is responsible for their own journey. Plus, our leadership team is always available if you need support.
3 / I've never led a group before. Can I do this?
Yes, you can! The FACILITATOR GUIDE makes hosting easy. Simply read through the instructions prior to each class, and you will be prepared. Our Toolkit includes additional training on group dynamics, plus an abundance of resources and templates for each class to make hosting easy and manageable.
4 / How do I spread the word about my group?
The Toolbox includes templates for emails, marketing, and social media. Simply download what you need to assist you in spreading the word about your upcoming Boldly Shine group.
