How to book in and attend a webinar. An easy, three-stage process.
1. Book
You book in and pay on the
Confident-Woman/RachelGreen.Com bookings page.
2. Register
Once you have paid you are sent a link to register for the webinar with Gotowebinars. They are the company we employ to run the webinar software for us. Once you have registered with them they send you another link that allows you personal access to the webinar on the day. It is specific to you on your computer. It will look something like this:
3. On the day
To attend on the day click the link Gotowebinars has sent you and the opening of the webinar will appear on your screen. It is easy! (Just make sure your link is on the same computer you will be attending the webinar on.)
We recommend you log in via the link 10 minutes before the start time to allow you the opportunity to check your equipment. It also means we can check we can hear you through your microphone if you want to ask questions.
NB: Please make sure you put the
correct time in your diary. The time we give is Perth time, Western Australia. Please take into account daylight saving when calculating your own time. When you register for the webinar with GoToWebinars they allow you to change the time zone to match your own. Gotowebinars will send you a reminder notice before the event starts. This means your reminder will show the time in your own time zone.
What equipment will you need?
1. An Internet connection.
A fast reliable broadband connection is best. It may be possible through dial-up but may not be very good, and we don't recommend it.
If you don’t have a broadband connection and you are in a rural area in Australia Telstra does sell prepaid wireless broadband devices on the Next G network. This gives the best coverage in rural areas and I carry one with me to use in rural areas. However, please check before purchasing as they do cost quite a bit. (The device is between $99 - $149 Australian in my experience, but can be used over and over again, so once purchased all you have to do is pay for the calls.)
Alternatively, if you are in Western Australia you may find your local Telecentre has all the equipment you need:

Other states and countries may have similar systems.
2. A computer
System Requirements:
PC-based attendees
Required: Windows® 2000, XP Home, XP Pro, 2003 Server, Vista
Macintosh®-based attendees
Required: Mac OS® X 10.4 (Tiger®) or newer
3. Audio
Audio quality can vary based on your audio software/hardware manufacturer as well as your operating system.
You do need to be able to hear the presenter during the webinar.
- You will get the best sound if you wear headphones. You will also need these if other people around you will be affected by the sounds on your computer or if you are in a noisy environment.
- However, we have listened to other webinars successfully through the loud-speakers in our computers. Your choice. Go for the best quality you can.
- The equipment you need will also depend on the level of involvement you want in the webinar. You only need a microphone if you want to ask questions live-to-air so that all participants hear you during the webinar.
- The best quality audio system, in our experience, is a headset with a built-in microphone plugged into your computer
- You do not need a video camera/webcam. No one will see you during the webinar.
Managing Anxiety - Creating Calm: The details
Anxiety is an adrenalin response, part of the flight or fight mechanism we are all born with. Anxiety is meant to warn us that danger is imminent and help us mobilise our resources so that we can escape quickly.
However, these days anxiety can occur when there are no wild animals nearby ... and for some of us, we don't even know what we are anxious about. All we know is that we are anxious.
Anxiety may produce sweating, a rapid heart rate, shaking, a dry mouth, a feeling of dread, diarrhoea, and other equally horried symptoms.
It is usually associated with negative thoughts about the future.
It can ruin lives.
It can make life miserable.
It can cause fear and avoidance, sleeplessness and fatigue.
If you have anxiety, this unique webinar will introduce you to a range of anxiety management techniques to help your anxiety dissolve.
The advantage of this webinar, for someone with anxiety, is that you do not have to leave your home or workplace to participate.
A further advantage is that you don't have to talk in front of other people or be part of a group. No-one even need know you are participating except for Rachel and her assistant.
There are many soothing ways to soften and reduce anxiety. Discover what is possible and what is available.
Managing anxiety is a journey with many steps and you'll learn at least 7 important anxiety management techniques in this special webinar.
Better still, some of them may stop anxiety altogether and others are fun to use. Take the edge off your anxiety now.
It doesn't matter when you get anxious, the focus is on softening anxiety irrespective of the situation in which it arises.
There won't be time to cover each step in depth but you will discover how anxiety can fade under their influence. And, if you want to know more, additional webinars can focus on particular steps in depth.

Other practical aspects:
Please note: This webinar does NOT replace professional help that you may need for managing anxiety. It will only be general in nature. It is not aimed at those with severe anxiety states or psychiatric disorders but is more focused on the day-to-day anxieties that we all experience. If in doubt, please check with your professional mental health practitioner. Thanks!
When booking, you have a choice of the webinar on its own, or the webinar PLUS the "
Happy not Hassled" CD. The CD covers the meditations Rachel used to dissolve her anxiety. The CD also comes with a FREE DVD of an hour speech Rachel gave on using meditation to manage anxiety and pain.
Once you've booked in we will send out reminders to your email box ... and afterwards, we make a handout available to you.
