Whatever the specific context of their desired outcome most of
my clients report ending up experiencing a greater sense of wholeness,
balance, freedom, peace, love, lightness, presence, connection and
vitality. Either they achieve their outcome easily or they
realise that it was not what they really wanted anyway and it ceases
to be important to them. For some this may happen in a single session;
for all this is part of a continuing life journey.
What would you like to have happen?
The information in the box is repeated below for people who prefer
static text:
Present with confidence and perform well in examinations
Do you clam up when it comes to talking in front of people? Do
your nerves prevent you from thinking clearly and acting confidently
when you need to? Would you be more successful if you were able
to be more relaxed and confident?
Stage fright and examination nerves are examples of stress reactions.
Stress can help us to perform at our best but too much of it prevents
us from thinking or communicating clearly. These reactions can be
a phobic type response to very specific triggers or be an example
of a more general fear of being 'seen' or judged. For some they
may even be protecting from the unwanted consequences of being successful.
Working effectively with these issues requires more than just covering
them up with a projected confidence - this could come across as
a flimsy arrogance and may break down after a while. True mastery
will allow you to accept yourself and open up to others. What used
to feel stressful can then be an exciting opportunity to shine or
to help others.
Make difficult decisions
Are you finding it difficult to make a decision? Torn between different
courses of action or knotted up inside? Does your inability to make
a congruent choice prevent you from moving on with your life?
Decisions can involve weighing up many factors and it can be difficult
to know which are the most important to you. Seemingly conflicting
priorities can go along with us being in 2 minds - both arguing
from their different and irreconcilable perspectives. We either
keep on changing our decision or simply feel stuck.
Eliciting and prioritising your values can reduce a complex evaluation
into manageable chunks. Any underlying conflicts can be identified,
understood and resolved. New and innovative options may come to
mind and the most natural way forward tends to present itself.
Maximise sports performance
Do you want to take your performance to the next level? Want to
utilise the power of your mind in training and in competition? Are
you keen to learn the techniques used by top professionals?
All movement starts off with a thought. We think in our whole body
- not just our brain. Getting the results we want is about setting
goals, training well, learning and adapting. To compete at our best
we need to relax, concentrate and allow our energy to flow.
By examining your values and beliefs you will be more able to set
compelling goals. A board-break could help you realise your true
potential. An accompanied training session can help you integrate
mental techniques into your programme. You will practice your success
to such an extent that you just have to go out in the actual competition
and do it all again.
Discover your true direction and the belief to follow it
Do you feel trapped or unfulfilled at work? Know you have untapped
potential? Realise that things will get worse if you don't make
some changes now?
Work to live or live to work? People perform at their best when
they are doing a job which satisfies their values and plays to their
individual strengths. Gaining more job satisfaction may involve
making changes to yourself, your current role or a complete change
in direction.
Laying out life directions and turning points in space can give
a unique perspective on how your life is evolving. Examining your
career values, natural role preferences and life themes can help
you develop an understanding of yourself and identify what it is
to be 'on-purpose'. When you know where you are going you can take
action to get there - transforming barriers along the way, achieving
success and experiencing fulfilment.
Stop procrastinating and get on with doing
Do you always put things off until the last minute or try to avoid
doing them at all? Do you have lots of things to do but no motivation
to get on and do them? Are you feeling guilty about it or punishing
yourself for your laziness?
We put things off because we feel like it. Strong motivation can
help us to do the things that we don't really want to do - to push
through barriers and get what we want. This may be successful but
it does sound like hard work! Wouldn't it be better if we could
achieve great things without it feeling like a great effort?
We will work together to understand exactly how you are not being
productive. Rather than pushing through or breaking down your barriers
you will learn from and transform them. The energy that was blocking
you will become available to you. Getting on with doing becomes
natural and effortless.
Manage your stress response
Do you get stressed at work? Do you find that it sometimes hinders
your performance? Are you concerned that this stress could become
a risk to your health?
Stress is the body's 'fight or flight' reaction to what it perceives
as danger to the body. Potential triggers include loss of blood,
poisons, toxins and, in a work situation, strong emotional reactions.
It results in increased levels of physical and mental readiness
while shutting down nonessential systems. Prolonged periods of excitation
can lead to exhaustion and many physical issues including suppression
of the immune system, ulcers and a lack of sex drive.
Your job is not stressful - the way that you react to it is. Once
you have realised when and how you create the stress reaction you
can take responsibility for making some changes. These may include
changing your attitude to your work, your emotional reactions to
certain situations and learning simple and effective techniques
to increase your levels of relaxation.
Lead, inspire and motivate your team
Do you manage a team of people? Are you sometimes frustrated at
a lack of motivation or performance? Would you like to understand
more and help the team to work at its full potential?
Leading a team of people can be difficult and stressful. Trying
to make people do what you want can be met with resistance and many
find it difficult to know how much control to let go of. Leaders
can experience anxiety and team members can feel as if they are
not understood or supported.
An effective team starts with an authentic and charismatic leader
who knows the direction they want to go in. Developing this sense
of direction and becoming comfortable and confident in yourself
will help you to influence those around you. When you have learned
coaching skills you will be more able to develop and utilise the
natural strengths and motivations of your team. You can help your
team to become inspired, happy, self-regulating and achieve significant
performance improvements.
