What people are saying about The2Bowmans
Workshop Sessions
Jan Silk: Auckland, New Zealand..... "The class was way cool! Steven and Chutisa have a way of facilitating that is uniquely their own. By using the business world as the canvas on which to draw their illustrations of how living as the question can create a new reality, they opened up a world of possibility for the participants in a way that was simple and easy for them to receive. You will be pleased to know that at least one couple chose to do the class solely on the brochure! They told us that they saw the energy of Steven and Chutisa in the photo and knew they had to do the class!
Steven is so bubbly and enthusiastic - like a puppy with a new toy - that people just cannot retain their seriousness or trauma and drama around him. He fills the room with his joy of living. Chutisa is so elegant and gentle with her questions that you don't realize you have been drawn into looking from another point of view until all of a sudden you notice you have said something silly! Then she invites you to destroy and uncreate that with such allowance and caring that you just can't say "No". Both of them demonstrated a generosity of spirit which is truly inspiring. They really, really desire you to be happy and wealthy and living a joyful, easy life. How does it get any better than this?
Several people have commented to me how their lives have been transformed by that Thursday. One lady said that she realized that she had been creating separation in her relationship and justifying her "no choice" life. She has been able to uncreate and destroy that relationship and now she has a new possibility for something greater to show up. Another lady said she has never understood what generosity of spirit truly was until this class. She had always thought it had to do with giving things to people and getting nothing back and can now see that it is about gratitude and allowance and is not about the money. Her world has expanded unbelievably from that awareness.
I would recommend this class to anyone who is asking for more in their lives. Whatever you would like to create for yourself and your life, the tools for functioning from prosperity consciousness can create magic."

Stephen Outram, Brisbane, Australia..... "I have had several businesses that reached certain, similar levels of success. It seemed like I wasn't willing to have any more than that, and had somehow capped what I could create as business. I knew more was possible and at the same time had no clue as what to do next, or even if I would like to be in business.
During this workshop, the views I had of what business was changed from a fixed model with limited possibilities, to this question: What would it take to create businesses that have never existed before on planet earth; that were fun and interesting to play with and made me obscene amounts of money? Business used to be this place I went to do a job and work hard; that was the way I got money. Now, my whole life is easier and so much more fun because work is a space I create to play with. It's no longer this separate, difficult area with challenges and obstacles to overcome. I realise that I am the valuable product. I could walk away in a second and know that I could create something else. I don't make my job more important than me. Being able to spend a day with the Bowmans was an enormous gift. The workshop was superb. Steven & Chutisa opened doors I wasn't aware I had the keys for. Their presence, insights, examples, caring and humour allowed me to see that if I truly desired to create a great business, I already had everything required to do that ... I had me.
What I have received was far greater than the fee I paid. And more money has shown up from places I was unwilling to see that I could have money. How does it get any better than that?"

Ashley Levin, San Francisco, California, USA..... "Steve and Chutisa's class was nothing less than awesome! I so enjoyed every minute of their unique humor and outstanding perspective on the world.
I was completely blown away at the simplicity of what it takes to create my life and business using their tools and questions. On top of that, Chutisa and Steve were adorable, kind, happy and fun to be around. Is it any wonder why they are number one in what they do in Australia? When I asked, "Steve, are you famous?" He said, "Yes, just ask me." He's so cool and he taught me new words like "cheeky." I didn't feel like they were speaking a foreign language or that I had to have a degree or had to have worked in business to understand what they were talking about.
They showed me different ways of creating my life, my business, and money and I'm 17 years old. I left the class with a whole new level of excitement, inspiration and awareness of how to be the infinite possibilities."

Ross Ormsby, Raglan, New Zealand..... "This course, facilitated by Steven and Chutisa Bowman, allowed many opportunities for my questions and my agenda to be met. It was such an amazing opportunity for me to meet people who deal with CEO's and boards of major companies around the world.
This course was an amazing opening into the possibilities of creating my business from a place of so much more potential. The type of questions posed allowed expansion to previously limiting practices. More money, more ease, more fun with business and so much more in creating a great life. Wow! These guys are great!"

Sean Murphy: San Francisco, USA..... "I can't thank you enough for your seminar yesterday. I was truly inspired by your simple, effective message. I look forward to applying this knowledge to my every day life. I would love to have you meet my Wife, Marne, the next time you are in town. Have a great weekend and a safe trip back to Australia!"

Sunnie Skillman: San Francisco, USA..... "I'd like you to know that your Facilitating the Facilitators class in Corte Madera was phenomenal to the nn......nnnnth degree !!!!!!!
It so helped me to break out of my mental box of smallness and limitation and live in a new reality of infinite possibilities. I really perceive I'm living in a different reality than I was before that class. The way you two are being the 13 Demandments and other Access tools is incredibly inspiring to me. The ways in which you have taken Access and put it into simple, receivable language for businessmen (among others) is a gift to the planet beyond words.
You have inspired me to use what you have done as a model, to extrapolate all sorts of things, and then translate them into some inspirations I have about creating a program which I am calling "What Else is Possible For Kids? ", a business designed to facilitate kids creating phenomenal lives.
My first project is creating a pilot program to be implemented into a tutoring center. This will be a prototype which can then be taken into all sorts of other places.
I have been receiving so many inspirations of possible things I could do that I am really excited about. I am so enjoying the joy of creation. I can't tell you how grateful I am for you two. How did I get so lucky to cross paths with you? What else is possible?"

Key note presentations
Full of power and charisma the next speaker Steven Bowman, didn't even need the use of a microphone. He moved about the room and used his hands as he looked at being a conscious leader. A conscious leader you ask? According to Bowman, a conscious leader is one who asks questions, constantly challenges themselves, others and the system - everything. They create, he asserted!
Steve spoke of three different leadership styles. The conscious leader, the unconscious leader and the anti-conscious leader. He conjured up examples of different alternatives and scenarios for people to go away and think about. He was certainly interesting to listen to and offered up a vastly different style to the other speakers.
People were inspired and challenged by Steve's presentation. His advice was more about who we are being than what we are doing, somewhat difficult for the many very busy people present, but certainly a point on which to reflect.
He also encouraged us to get rid of our sector's belief in scarcity, which leads cynicism and disempowerment, and to have a prosperity consciousness. ........ CEO, Disability Professionals Victoria

That was an excellent presentation yesterday. Well done! In fact it was so good that you've inspired the Board to press on with plans for a strategic planning/governance workshop in January. Better still, they want you to facilitate it for us!"........ David Gordon, CEO Nursery and Garden Industry Victoria Ltd

The first presenter was Mr. Steven Bowman. He has presented at a previous AOMC Annual Seminar, and was so well received, that our illustrious secretary, Iain Ross felt we should have him again. His topic was club constitutions, committee's and committee meetings. Boring you might think? Definitely not so, his presentation was very humorous and to the point, and I'm sure every delegate that was there would agree that although it was long, it was of immense value. We were all given a 22 page document to help us follow the presentation, and also to take away and implement as many of his great strategies as we could.
This document is available on the AOMC website. You will be doing your club a disservice if you do not download it, and present it to your committee...... Chairman, Association of Motoring Clubs
