Utue

What it reported doing in 2018

Utue has experienced significant success working with individual clients and have benefited from observing how people grow and develop through the inward process. Living lighter is part of ongoing water aerobics programs and have been successful working with groups to address specific daily emotional challenges that are not well served with other methods, having a bad day, stressful interactions, and difficulty with relationships. These programs combine traditional workout methods with unique utue methods to create a two for one experience. Utue has an agreement with transformation talk radio to do a weekly radio show that is recorded and is available world-wide as a podcast. We are preparing our web site www.livinglighter.org to offer a weekly newsletter sign-up as a way to build our audience. We were able to begin our radio show as well our weekly newsletter to begin to build our audience. Doing a radio show on a weekly basis has helped us focus our message regarding the ecosystem approach to human development and growth. This exciting concept describes the true root of human difficulty and creates a path and way to heal the root causes. Our weekly show always ends with a sample of the work we do so the audience can experience for themselves! In addition, we continue to witness individual breakthroughs in our continuing one-on-one program. These types of behavioral improvements are rare to non-existent with conventional strategies. These breakthroughs are helping us create program that moves beyond one-on-one work to work with groups and expand our reach. We are developing a subscription service to offer to clients so they can receive a benefit in a much more cost effective way than our one-on-one program. We are working on consolidating the living lighter web site and the utue web site into one that will be named the ecosystem approach! Our focus is to attract new interest and have begun to contrast the effects of treating yourself like a machine versus treating yourself like an ecosystem which is more accurate! The ecosystem approach is our new way of framing our methods and educating new clients about real ways to grow and develop. The ecosystem approach is highlighted in the preparation for our weekly radio show. Fund raising this year has been very low key focused on current clients who have received benefits and creating infrastructure for a more robust fundraising campaign.
