My Personality Coach: Improve Your Life Through Personal Coaching

How Coaching Works

Fri, 31 Mar 2006 21:25:00 EST

Definition of Coaching

Life-, Career- & Business Coaching is an ongoing professional relationship that helps people produce extraordinary results in their life, career, business or organizations. Through the process of coaching, clients deepen their learning, improve their performance and enhance their quality of life. In each meeting the client chooses the focus of conversation, while the coach listens and contributes observations and questions. This interaction creates clarity and moves the client into action. Coaching can be a challenging process yet it always accelerates the client's progress by providing greater focus and awareness of choice. Coaching always concentrates on where clients are now and what they are willing to do to get where they want to be in the future.

What happens when someone works with a Coach

Coaching is proven to work when two factors are present:

The client is willing to learn, to grow and to change
There is a gap between where the client is now and where he wants to be

That is all that is necessary for the client and coach to solve problems, create a plan of action, double sales, increase success, become more profitable, get set on a career path, find balance and fulfillment or whatever is called for to ensure that the client has what he needs to get more of what he wants.

The successful Coaching Client

is a motivated and mentally strong and healthy person who is ready to take an honest look at life. Coaching differs distinctively from therapy. The successful coaching client is ready to take action to move toward a goal and is not seeking emotional healing or relief from psychological pain. The typical coaching client is someone who wants to reach one or more of the following: a higher level of performance, learning, satisfaction, success, life balance or overall fulfillment.

The Coaching Relationship

A coach does not relate to the client from a position of an expert, authority or healer. Coaches are experts in the coaching process and may not have knowledge of a given subject area or industry. We do not diagnose, direct or design solutions for the client. Coaches will always follow the client's agenda and hold the client responsible for what he is willing to work on. Together coach and client identify the challenges and possibilities that are before a client and consequently create a plan that - sometimes challenging - is a plan the client is comfortable with in order to step up his life to the next level of success, happiness, balance and fulfillment.

The Coaching Process

Coaching services are delivered in many ways - in person, by phone or via e-mail. A preferred way of coaching is by phone as it is the most convenient way for most people. Coaching calls or sessions are usually held once a week / or once every 2 weeks for 30 or 45 minutes. Coaches and clients choose a certain day and time to meet regularly for an initial coaching period of 3 months - thereafter the coaching can be continued on a month-to-month basis until termination by either party.

Before the coaching starts, clients will be provided with various forms - The Welcome Package - which helps to evaluate the gap between where a client is in life and where the client wants to be in the future.

Clients always prepare for each coaching session by completing a "session preparation form" (also provided by the coach) which should be sent to the coach before each session.

A Must

It is necessary for the client to implement the coaching that is given to feel that coaching is a success. People who hire a coach want to do things differently than they ever have before. If we keep on doing what we have always done we will get the same old results.

Is Coaching right for you

Individuals who engage in a coaching relationship can expect to view their personal and professional challenges and opportunities from a fresh perspective. They enhance their thinking and interpersonal effectiveness and strengthen their confidence in carrying out their chosen work and role in life.

Call 321-246-7066 to find out if coaching is right for you and if we are the right match to take your life to the next level of success.

How Long Would We Work Together?

Fri, 31 Mar 2006 21:27:00 EST

Some people only need to get started on their way to change and others are looking for a coaching relationship lasting for months or even years to come.

The initial duration of a coaching agreement is for 3 months where the client can choose between 2 to 4 coaching calls a month. Thereafter the coaching relationship shall continue on a month-to-month basis until termination by either party via written notice.

I suggest that you stay with your coach as long as the coaching is beneficial to you ! All coaching programs may be stopped at any given moment for reflection, time of settlement or for good and all programs may be resumed whenever you are ready to proceed on the path to growth.

Before you engage in a coaching relationship I recommand that you get a feeling for to the coach you are possibly going to work with. Try to find out how well you connect and if your coach will be able to pick you up at where you are in life. If you consider working with a coach I invite you to call me.

Coaching Fees

Fri, 31 Mar 2006 21:31:00 EST

My highest goal in coaching is to bring out the best in you and in order to succeed I ask for a strong commitment toward yourself. Experience has shown that it is of highest benefit to commit to an initial coaching agreement of 3 months. Upon completion of this basic work I like to work on a month-to-month basis.

I like my clients to be free in their decision about how fast, how long and how intense they wish to move forward on their path of growth. I therefore offer a range of coaching fees for 30 or 45 minute sessions. Clients may also elect to pay for all sessions (defined in the coaching agreement) in advance in order to obtain 10% discount . Please contact me for further details.

I accept credit cards ( Visa / Master / Discover ), debit cards or checks.

Hypnosis

Sat, 01 Apr 2006 18:25:00 EST

The Misconception of Hypnosis

Hypnosis cannot be compared with what can sometimes be seen on stage when an uncertified performer (not a certified hypnotist) tries to manipulate people into acting in silly ways. Shows of this kind are for pure entertainment and have nothing to do with hypnotherapy. Unfortunately, much of the public knowledge of hypnosis is based on such shows, which very often leads to a fear of hypnosis and reluctance on the part of many people to seek the help that hypnotherapy can offer.

Therapeutic Hypnosis

Certified Hypnotists and members of the National Guild of Hypnotists will always follow their ethical principles and make the clients welfare, safety and physical and mental well-being to their prime consideration.

Somewhere between wakefulness and sleep is the state of consciousness that certified hypnotists use. That trance-like state is similar to the one that occurs spontaneously in sleepwalking or daydreaming. Most people will experience hypnosis as a state in which they become more aware of their inner being, their emotions and state of mind so as to make it possible to work and transform those emotions and states which may have become a problem. You will not lose consciousness or awareness, but become able to gain a different perspective on what has been troubling you.

Access the Subconscious Mind

Most people talk and act as if the conscious mind is the prime mover behind our behavior and regard the subconscious mind as something vague, that they are not really aware of. In fact, the subconscious mind is always working, monitoring and affecting all the physical and psychological functions of the mind and the body, from blood pressure and hormone levels to states of hunger and fatigue, even when we are asleep. The sum of what we have learned and experienced is stored within the subconscious mind, and our memory holds far more than we can usually remember at a conscious level.

Through accessing that subconscious mind, hypnosis can help you learn how to react differently to certain situations and help you better understand your mind's development mechanism. For example, if you have to prepare for an exam and feel nervous about it, you can learn how to access and strengthen your ability to relax and then apply that to the situation of passing an exam. Once you know how to do that, then it becomes easier to "decide" how you would like to react in a given situation.

It is also possible with hypnosis to access memories and past events that are still having detrimental impact on the present. By understanding better what happened and how patterns of behavior and feelings were created, then it becomes possible to transform how those memories affect us in our life. You can't erase and forget the past but you can learn to feel and react differently about it.

How People respond to Hypnosis

Really, that will depend on what is troubling you and how willing you are to adapt to a new behavior and to try out new ways of doing things. A good hypnotist will try to help you understand what the root cause of your problem is and how to transform your response to it.

Remember that you already have within yourself the answers to the problem, even if you are not aware of that at a conscious level. No matter how good the hypnotist is, he cannot just give you the answers that you seek as he cannot know what the best solution is for you. The hypnotist can only help you to find those answers within yourself and help you draw on your existing resources to transform your emotional difficulties. The hypnotist will help you access and utilize your subconscious mind and your resources so that you may learn how to make better use of them.

What Hypnosis is best for?

Hypnosis is particularly useful in helping people deal with stress- and anxiety-related conditions, such as panic attacks, phobias, anxiety, insomnia, and other emotional problems like depression, lack of confidence, self esteem and motivation.

It can also help with problems such as irritable bowel syndrome, migraines, skin problems, ulcers, asthma and high blood pressure, as well as management of chronic pain.

Hypnosis can also help you change unwelcome habits such as smoking, nail biting or dealing with problems relating to food and body image. This is achieved by finding out what the real problem is and finding better and more positive ways to meet your needs.

When choosing a Hypnotist

take your time to get to know your hypnotist before you schedule an appointment. Call your chosen practitioner and get a feeling for the person you are seeking help from. Ask as many questions as you can think of and try to find out if you feel comfortable with your hypnotists aura and vibration.

Welcome to Personality Coaching

Mon, 17 Apr 2006 16:18:14 EST

Coaching is all about change, growth, goal setting and dream realization.

It's about sharing and having a safe, confidential place to give voice to the vision you hold for your future. Coaching is based on the belief that each person is perfectly able to make her dreams come true but, at times, may require some assistance pursuing these dreams and goals.

Each one of us has a personal ability to awaken our amazing gifts and talents. Sometimes those talents, wishes and dreams just seem to be difficult to find, as though left somewhere along the path or lost in a moment in a hasty world.

Personality Coaching is your guide through your times of change. Personality Coaching assists you in becoming aware, getting clear, opening up possibilities, focusing on what you want, learning new ways of doing things, finding solutions, achieving goals, and creating real values and life purpose.

I will be glad to explain the coaching process in greater detail and to offer you a absolutely FREE coaching consultation. Please call 321-246-7066 for more information or to schedule your session.

The Autogenic Training

Mon, 17 Apr 2006 22:23:06 EST

History of Autogenic Training

"Autogenic Training " (AT) is a term for a deep relaxation technique developed in the early 20th Century by a German psychiatrist and neurologist, Prof. Dr. Johannes Schultz. AT is a form of self-hypnosis that aims to induce a deep state of consciousness and relaxation, and to draw upon the body's own healing power. Prof. Schultz developed the theory that patients who practiced simple verbal exercises to induce hypnosis could alleviate many physical and mental ailments. Through repetition of so-called "Autogenic Formulas" one focuses upon different sensations, such as warmth and heaviness, in different regions of the body.

Prof. Schultz went on to develop a series of six standard Autogenic Formulas -- which still form the core of AT today. A book was published in 1932, and the training of teachers grew from there on.

The use of the technique is very popular in Europe, where it is even covered by most insurance plans. This method is currently gaining increasing acceptance in the USA and other countries!

Prof. Schultz emphasized parallels to techniques in yoga and meditation. However, AT is devoid of any mysticism -- it does not imply or involve any religious, cultural or spiritual practices. Rather, it's a method for influencing one's autonomic nervous system. The aim of the technique is to induce a balance between the two hemispheres of the brain, as well as between the two branches -- sympathetic and parasympathetic -- of the autonomic nervous system. It aims to give the student the power to induce physical and mental relaxation from within at will and at any given moment in the day.

No particular physical skills or exercises are involved; however, persons desiring to learn this technique must be prepared to invest a little time. A course of 6-8 sessions is the best way to learn the method. Persons with serious medical conditions should seek the advice of their physician before beginning a class in AT. Autogenic Training is not recommended for persons with severe psychological disturbances.

Benefits of the Training

Autogenic Training has been shown to relieve many stress-related disorders, including anxiety, phobias, grief, burnout syndrome, sleep disturbances, anger, fatigue, headache, eating disorders, psychosomatic pain, PMS and examination stress.

Its effectiveness is also shown in the relief of chronic medical conditions -- such as migraine, depression, anxiety-panic disorders, mental health disorders, ADD/HD, colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, diabetes, hypertension and insomnia.

Benefits from the training are noticeable almost right away, including a significant increase of self-esteem, a remarkably stronger self confidence, a better connection with the subconscious mind, and a higher trust in oneself and one's abilities. After only one week of training students feel noticeably more balanced, stronger and relaxed after a stressful day.

Control your thoughts and your feelings

The mental state during a training session might be described best as "being an alert but passive observer" of body sensations and awareness. A deep form of body relaxation occurs which is followed by a deep mental relaxation called the "Alpha state", where typically contemplation, visualization, problem solving and accessing deeper levels of creativity happen.

Being in this deeply relaxed but alert alpha-state students integrate their own positive affirmations to the training and spend some time in creative visualization, practicing behavior and situations they wish to control the next time they appear on the canvas of their life.

Trained students will easily be able to apply the training in any situation of stress.This will dramatically enhance the mind's performance and open up infinite potential.

Your Investment

Autogenic Training is taught one on one or in groups over a period of 6 - 8 weeks, in training sessions of 60 - 90 min./ week. In between classes it is recommend to practice the technique daily for 15 minutes in the privacy of your home or office.

One-on-one Classes: 100 $ per class (60 - 90 minutes). Private class students will receive complementary life-, business-, career- and relationship coaching during the course of the training.

If you know of someone who might benefit from the training I would be more than happy to offer a group workshop to the following prices:

Workshop for 2 students: 50$ per person/class of 60 - 90 minutes

Workshop for 3 - 5 students: 40$ per person/class of 90 minutes

Workshop over 6 students: 30$ per person/class of 90 minutes

Please call 321-246-7066 for further information or to schedule a training session.

The "Fight or Flight" Reaction or the "Sympathetic Stress" Reaction

Mon, 17 Apr 2006 22:30:31 EST

Also known as alarm reaction or stress reaction, the fight or flight/sympathetic stress reaction occurs in the body when it's faced by a sudden, unexpected threat or source of stress. The name of this reaction comes from the fact that an animal experiencing this reaction almost immediately decides to fight or to run. In this reaction there is a sudden release of the stress-hormones epinephrine and nor-epinephrine (adrenaline and nor-adrenaline), which increase the blood flow to the muscles, increase arterial blood pressure, improve muscle strength and mental ability, as well as increase blood glucose concentration. Through these actions the body prepares for a confrontation or a fast escape. The same reaction occurs in the body under any stressfull situations. The body responds to stress by sending signals through the sympathetic nerves telling the adrenal glands to begin pumping the two stress hormones, epinephrine and nor-epinephrine.

A little stress can give the body extra energy to enhance performance and escape danger. Prolonged and cumulative stress on the other hand, has an extremely weakening effect on the whole body. It disrupts the ability to fight infections, disease and recovery from injury and illness. It may also have a damaging effect to key areas of the body such as the brain, the heart, digestive system and the joints. Only 15 minutes of Autogenic Training a day reverse the damaging effects of stress!

The Brainwave States

In order to fully understand how the brain contributes to a person's state of mind and level of consciousness, it is significantly important to be aware of the various brainwave states through which our brain consistently cycles.

Our brain does not operate in only one brainwave state at a time, but instead pulses in several brainwave states simultaneously throughout the day and night, with one of the states being dominant at any given time. The dominant state indicates our "state of mind" or level of consciousness. Because different areas of the brain may have different activities at any given time, we may have activity in one brainwave state in one area of the brain while at the same time a different brainwave state may be more active in another area of the brain. Each of these brainwave states occurs in a specific frequency range.

The Beta state is our "awakened" state of mind and ranges from 40Hz to 13Hz.
The Alpha state is where we dream and access our subconscious mind and ranges from 12Hz to 8Hz.
The Theta state represents a state of deep relaxation and ranges from 8Hz to 4Hz.
The Delta state represents a state of deepest dreamless sleep and ranges from 4Hz to 1Hz.

It is a normal function that we are unable to access the subconscious mind at will while the brain functions on a highly alert Beta level. Access to the subconscious mind is only granted while the brain functions in a relaxed Alpha, Theta or Delta state. We might all be most aware of our subconscious mind through our dreams, which occur in the Alpha state.

Through the regular use of Autogenic Training the student learns to guide the brain deliberately into different brainwave states and access the subconscious mind at will while wide awake, in order to work on personal matters. This enables the student to find his/her hidden beliefs and to replace them with more accurate and positive suggestions, allowing him/her to strengthen the self-esteem, enhance the mind's performance and open up an infinite potential for major life-changes.

The Beta State

The Beta brainwave state is associated with a heightened state of alertness and focused concentration. When the mind is actively engaged in mental activities, the dominant state will be Beta. A person in active conversation, playing sports or making a presentation would be in a Beta state. The Beta brainwave state corresponds to frequencies range from 13Hz to 40Hz.

The Alpha State

Alpha brainwaves are slower in frequency than Beta brainwaves and represent a state of relaxed mental awareness or reflection. Alpha brainwave states are typically associated with contemplation, visualization, problem solving and accessing deeper levels of creativity and the subconscious mind. The use of the Autogenic Training enables a student to deliberately shift the mind from the alert Beta state into a relaxed Alpha state at will in order to work on personal matters. The Alpha brainwave state corresponds to frequencies ranging from 8Hz to 12Hz.

The Theta state

Theta brainwaves are even slower in frequency and represent a state of deep relaxation and meditation, enhanced creativity, stress relief, light sleep and dreaming. Theta brainwave states have been used in meditation for centuries. Research has proven 30 minutes a day of Theta meditation can dramatically improve a person's overall health and well-being. Theta meditation has also been known to cause the need for less sleep. The Theta brainwave state corresponds to frequencies ranging from 4Hz to 8Hz.

The Delta state

Delta brainwaves are the slowest in frequency and represent a state of deep dreamless sleep. Delta brainwave states have long been associated with healing. While Delta brainwave states usually only occur in deep sleep, it is possible to train yourself to remain awake while reaching the Delta state to experience even deeper levels of meditation and awareness. The Delta brainwave state corresponds to frequencies from 1Hz to 4Hz.

Access Your Subconcious And Change Your Life Forever!

Through the regular use of Autogenic Training the student will eventually be able to guide the brain into different brainwave states and access the subconscious mind at will in order to work on personal matters. This will dramatically enhance the mind's performance and open up an infinite potential.

By accessing the subconscious mind, it becomes possible to find hidden and transparent belief systems which might have detrimental impact on the present. By finding those hidden belief systems and understanding better what happens and how patterns of behaviour and feelings are created, it then becomes possible to transform those "beliefs" which affect us in our life.

The Autogenic Training

With the Autogenic Training you can guide your brain into any of the brainwaves states naturally and effortlessly simply by repeating the six Autogenic Formulas. Not even a tape recorder or a CD player is needed. Once the technique has been mastered in practice sessions, it can be applied at will in any situation of stress or difficulty.

With a little patience and 15 minutes of daily practice, everyone can learn the ancient art of self-relaxation and the ability to control the mind at any given time and moment.

Live your life deliberately -- it's the only one you've got!

Self-Esteem, Confidence and Motivation

Thu, 20 Apr 2006 00:38:32 EST

Self validation - the ultimate goal to achieve our own personal best

The goal may be maintained in the subconscious mind, but it is nonetheless a final objective for all people, regardless of race, creed, nationality or even physical condition. The ultimate goal for each and everyone is self-validation; achieving what athletes call a "personal best." Regardless of background, education, financial standing or other factors, every individual is subconsciously induced to move onward and upward, to the best possible in relations, beliefs and values!

Progress toward the ultimate goal and necessary intermediate objectives is affected by experiential factors -- the cards dealt out by heredity, opportunity and life in general -- but there are only three factors essential to positive progress: self-esteem, confidence and motivation. During the course of a lifetime, virtually everyone experiences problems involving one or more of these factors.

Self-Esteem

High self-esteem is a basic essential of success. Low self-esteem, however, does not suddenly appear like a symptom of an illness. It develops like a cancer that usually goes unnoticed in its early stages, but spreading slowly throughout the mind until, when finally recognized, it becomes full-blown, demoralizing, destructive and possibly even terminal.

While poor self-esteem can emanate from events that might be considered personal setbacks (in business, relationships, health, etc.), the primary cause is negative programming from the past. It might also be a product of judgmental parents, teachers, authority figures, relatives or friends. Many times derogatory comments, ridicule, relentless criticism and similar factors ignore commendable achievement and simply accentuate the negative.

Frequently these events, hurts or negative valuations are absorbed by and buried in the subconscious memory, with the victim totally unaware of the sources of troubled feelings, fears, self-doubt and damaging attitudes.

Confidence

Low self-esteem actually must be dealt with before progress can be achieved in building self-confidence and creating motivation. It is difficult for a person to show confidence when he/she views him/herself as a loser.

The procedures for developing confidence may vary considerably, depending on the person's self-perception. Any labels such as bad, wrong, stupid, clumsy, dumb, talentless, ignorant, fat, etc. must be disposed of first in order to reveal unrecognized capabilities that lead to an acceptance of valid self-worth.

Motivation

Once the problems of lack of self-esteem and self-confidence are worked out, one may then begin working on motivation programming, which uses mind visualization to create pictures of success, confidence and appropriate abilities.

Enhanced suggestions through hypnosis or Autogenic Training are absorbed and accepted easily by the subconscious mind, leading to attitude modification and a new feeling of self-assurance.

Personality Coaching offers a wide spectrum of customized programs tailored to fit your specific needs.

I will be glad to talk to you in detail about lack of confidence, trust and motivation. Please feel absolutely free to call 321-246-7066 to learn more about building self-esteem and confidence in order to be at your best and to live the life you envision for yourself.

Self-Esteem & Confidence

Do you ever feel a little nervous or self-conscious? Have you ever felt that you weren't competent enough to cope with the challenges that life has handed you? Did you ever wish to be more self-confident? Are you in the habit of saying "yes" when you mean "no?"

If you have, rest assured that you are not alone!

More than 97% of all people feel shy, nervous and unsure at every day situations. Life can sometimes give us a difficult path and we may find it impossible to get out of a downward spiraling. However bad life gets, we all have a born ability to overcome feelings of fear and anxiety and to reach out to our true potential!

Life Planning & Goal Setting

Do you have plans that never seem to get off the ground? Are you in the habit of saying "one day" when "such-and-such) happened? It seems that most of us have visions of the ways our life could be better, but few of our ideas make the transition to reality!

The main reason why the majority of people do not get anywhere with their dreams is because they don't believe in themselves ... because they don't believe in their dreams ... because they don't have a vision ... because it's too risky ... because it's too early ... because it's not what is expected of them and because it's impossible anyhow! Many people do not even dare to think that their dream might actually become true.

The lack of a clear goal and a plan to follow through, as well as the fear of failure prevents many of us from taking further action.

If you are ready to create the life you envision for your self, Personality Coaching is on your side to guide you through your times of change.

Together, we will identify the challenges and the possibilities that lay in front of you and together we take action toward your goal. My coaching programs open up a whole new world for you, one where you discover your infinite potential and where you:

Develop your possible career path
Begin doing new things you have always wanted to do
Discover your inner voice and trust in yourself
Develop strategies to enter into a new career
Develop an action plan to make big changes
Overcome procrastination
Stay motivated and in action on your new path

Relationships & Communication

Everyday we deal with people, no matter how much we love or loathe them. It therefore makes sense that the more we get out of a relationship, the better we feel, whether they be friends, relatives, partners or even total strangers!

Personality Coaching can help you build up your struggling relationships and become a better friend, parent or partner. The reward of improving your communication skills and the ability to get along well with others is immeasurable.

A large part of the solution comes from looking inside yourself and determining what you want and need from your relationships. You will then look objectively at your own interpersonal skills and aim to improve them; doing this by yourself can often be an almost impossible task.

Your coach will help you become clear on what really matters in your relationships and to get more out of them. The opportunities to improve your life by improving your relationships and communication skills are infinite. You will be able to:

Deepen your understanding of yourself and your needs
Deepen your understanding of others
Identify your developing areas
Discover your true agendas and pursue them
Develop your listening and empathy skills
Begin new ways of thinking about people
Improve your ability to relate to others
Be more open
Change yourself for the better
Welcome new habits into your life and enjoy them
Change your relationships for the better
End a relationship or enter into a new one

Life Purpose & Values

Have you ever had a time when you started to question everything? "What is my life about?" "What have I really achieved?" "How do I want to be remembered?" "What do I expect of the rest of my life?" These types of questions can plague us and make us unsure about our daily actions.

To become a person who feels centered and purposeful, we must go through the process of searching for our true values. We have to clarify what is really important and make decisions about about what we want and what we do not want in our life.

By working with Personality Coaching, you can develop a whole new perspective about your life and who you truly want to be. This process is a deeply enriching experience full of surprises, turns and amazing revelations. I have helped people bring their passion out and to fully live each day of their life.

If you feel that you are searching for "something deeper," then working with a coach may be a great way to get clear on your values, life purpose and real priorities. By working together, you can:

Develop a deeper understanding of yourself
Give you the opportunity to move past the "superficial" stuff
Give you the opportunity to get over the past
Discover your true agendas and begin pursuing them
Create a vision of your perfect lifestyle
Begin new ways of thinking toward everyday life
Help you get clear on your priorities
Create a powerful sense of your life purpose

Business- and Career Coaching

Going alone in your own business is an exciting decision, but it can also be frustrating, disheartening and often very lonely. As a new business owner or entrepreneur, you may feel the need to do everything yourself and invest all your time into your business. While this may be courageous, it is also a guaranteed way to reduce the enjoyment level in your life.

There is definitely a better way ... one of the best-known ways to ensure an effective transition is to integrate personal change and development alongside your career change.

Collaborating with a coach can offer you winning strategies for getting ahead. It can also ease the pressure you feel to perform in your new business.

Personality Coaching has helped people from varied professional backgrounds gain real perspective about their next steps in developing their business. I can help you in the following areas as you start your new business:

Making a smooth transition to a new career
Be a reflecting mirror for new ideas
Keeping a balance between work and family life
Verify your business setup and administration ideas
Give you support and structure for your new business
Help build your confidence to tackle new challenges

Career & Success

Are you tired of always feeling like you get passed up for promotions? Does your business seem to stay the same, no matter how hard you work? Are your work colleagues or employees fighting against you, instead of supporting you?

Perhaps you are like a lot of people, always feeling like you are struggling instead of achieving. If this is true for you -- there are ways to move past it!

Personality Coaching has helped people to gain higher salaries, faster promotions and increase their business growth. I have helped them to improve their leadership abilities, management skills and deal with workplace issues such as unreasonable co-workers or bosses and high-pressure positions. I have assisted them to change jobs smoothly, often to a much more rewarding position.

If you want to move ahead in your career, then working with a coach can help you to:

Identify your career development areas
Improve your people skills at work
Make definite progress toward a promotion
Change jobs smoothly and effectively
Become a better negotiator
Improve your networking skills
Dramatically increase the recognition you receive
Make yourself much more valuable and get rewarded for it

Reiki

Reiki is the Japanese expression for Universal Life Force Energy!

What Is Universal Life Force Energy?

Let's call it "the spark of life and of all existance". Even though life energy is sometimes difficult to measure, it does without a doubt exist.

Throughout different cultures we find about 67 words -- such as Prana or Chi -- describing the one and only Universal Life Force. The modern western scientific world however came up with some other interesting definitions such as "bogus", "nonsense", "woo-woo", "imagination" or "placebo". No matter, each and every culture seems to agree upon one fact -- all life has its own self-healing intelligence.

"A healer, for instance, is someone who was sick and got well. A great healer is someone who was very sick and got well very fast!" -- Richard Gordon

We cannot heal another person. It is the body's own intelligence that heals itself. This intelligence unfortunately often lies beyond our comprehension or perception. As we all live in a hasty world that's measured by achievement and accomplishment, we often just don't give our body the time to heal. We rather try to kill the disease before the disease kills us. Or we have something surgically removed or repaired without asking ourselves what caused the malfunction in the first place. It's just as if we would remove a red blinking oil light instead of filling up the oil. Reiki is one way to fill up our energy tank again!

The Reiki Treatment

Reiki is one of several methods to channel precious life energy into ourselves and others. The energy it creates basically has five effects, which constantly interact.

Reiki brings about deep relaxation
Reiki dissolves energy blockages
it detoxifies
Reiki also increases the vibration frequency of the body
and, as a result, strongly reinforces the body's self-healing energy.

During a Reiki treatment the practitioner will put his/her hands on the fully dressed recipient in a respectful and non-sexual way at different positions that roughly correlate with the chakras. If the client does not wish to be touched, the practitioner will keep his/her hands above the client's body and channel the energy into their etheric field, the aura. During the entire treatment, the Reiki practitioner is raising his/her own vibration to a higher level and holds it there while the other person is in this field. The lower energy automatically starts matching up to the higher vibration and the recipient experiences a profound relaxation that may allow physical, mental, emotional and spiritual healing.

The Benefits of Reiki

Reiki reduces the extreme highs and lows of life if it is applied regularly.
Gradually, a life style is developed which is balanced inwardly as well as outwardly.
By becoming more in tune with our inner self, stress and the feeling of being out of touch simply disappear.
The quality of life improves as we more easily integrate the experiences which cross our path.
A sense of peace arises as we realize that the lessons we have learned enrich our personality.
Physical and mental afflictions improve and often disappear or are suddenly cured by medical means that may have been ineffective without the boost Reiki provides.
Reiki supplies a continuous flow of energy, causing the Third Eye (which is responsible for the recognition and realization of the ideal path for each of us) and the energy center (the root chakra) to work together in harmony.

Reiki Principles

Don't get angry -- just for today
Do not worry -- just for today
Honor your parents, teachers and elders (be kind to your neighbor)
Earn your living honestly
Show gratitude for every living thing

Control the Focus of Your Mind

Fri, 28 Apr 2006 17:56:43 EST

"Imagination is more important than knowledge" -- Albert Einstein

Spend some time every day in the practice of creative envisioning. Allow your daily schedule to include a mandatory period of peace - 15 minutes or more of silence - where you explore yourself and come to know who you really are. Daydreaming for self-improvement is accomplished by spending time alone and in silence !

Solitude and quietness connects to the creative source within you and releases your subconscious mind's intelligence. Spend some time every day in the practice of creative envisioning. See yourself and imagine your personal improvement or spiritual growth. Envision yourself as you want to be, whether this means to be successful, happy, wealthy, fearless, a good parent, friend, husband or wife.

Visualize mental pictures of yourself and of all that you want to be, to have and to attain in life. Envision how easy you deal with stressful situations, how you are loosing weight and getting thinner and trimmer every day, how you effortlessly refrain from smoking or how it feels to actually live your new and improved lifestyle. Mentally rehearse the way you will govern your actions when a similar scene unfolds on the canvas of reality !

Personality Coaching teaches a century old deep relaxation and self-hypnosis technique -- called Autogenic Training -- The training harmonizes the two branches of the brain and brings out deep relaxation, balance and harmony.

Why a Coach and why Personality Coaching ?

Mon, 22 May 2006 17:11:42 EST

How can a coach be of any help to you ?

A Coach's responsibility is to help a person discover her own ability to solve problems, reach goals, overcome challenging situations and pursue major changes in life !

Unlike well-meaning family members and friends, a coach serves as a mirror for your plans and a sounding board for your daily actions. Your coach can help you maintain a steady momentum through challenging times, gain motivation to make big changes and be the person to pick you up after a setback.

Why Personality Coaching ?

Personality Coaching offers exclusive customized training and support to move you to the next level of success in your personal, professional, spiritual and family life. With the right tools, you can move through changes with grace and excitement - and even come to embrace change.

I am inspiration, challenge, validation, encouragement and support all at once, and I am always on your side, in your times of change, fully committed to your success ! I will provide you with objective feedback, resource ideas and help you create a plan that, although challenging, is a plan you are comfortable with.

Our coaching relationship will empower you to take responsibility to create the life that is yours to live !

Embrace the Plateaus of Accomplishment

Wed, 31 Jan 2007 13:54:31 EST

You started out on a life transforming journey toward fulfillment, joy, health, wealth, happiness and success by following a calling or living a dream. You were full of passion and excitement and full of energy to create the life you envision for yourself.

How is it for you today? Do you sustain those same feelings of empowerment?

If you are like most of us, you sometimes find things feel like they are moving to fast or to slow, or the circumstances don't seem to be responding to you in the ways that you had hoped.

Maybe, because of these common challenges, you are no longer having the fun, trust and belief that you once did when you started the journey. Perhaps your unmet expectations cause nothing but stress and you find yourself missing out on all the good things along the way.

Remember the Path

Remember why you started on the path that you have chosen for yourself. Even if you are not quite to the point you want to be, enjoy your daily progress. Honor and even celebrate where you are right now. If you do not have fun with the steps you take forward, what is the point of continuing?

Embrace the plateaus of accomplishment. These can be natural resting spots. Do not confuse your current location on the path with your intended destination. This will only cause unnecessary stress because you are not there yet.

Keep moving in the direction of your goals and enjoy the journey. You will be there before you know it!

I would be glad to be your encouragement, support, validation, challenge and inspiration on your journey of self-improvement. Please call me 321-246-7066 for an absolutely free coaching consultation.

Courage is not Absence of Fear

Mon, 19 Feb 2007 16:17:53 EST

The essence and meaning of courage

Many equate courage with feeling brave and fearless. When they feel fear before taking a risk, some people conclude that they are cowards. We gain a far more powerful perspective when we see courage as doing what we choose to do, even when we feel afraid.

Most people who ascend to the top ranks of their field feel fear

A famous actor can quake in his boots with stage fright before the curtain rises and a skilled teacher can anxiously dread the first day of school even after 30 years in the classroom. Even after decades of success, these people might find that their careers sometimes scare the socks off of them. They feel fear and choose to do what they fear anyway.

Most of us have had this kind of experience at one time or another. We have gone for job interviews, scared so silly that we were not even sure if we can remember our name. Yet we go through the ordeal anyway - and even get hired. The times when we felt the fear and still did what needed doing exemplify the essence and meaning of courage.

Don't worry about fixing feelings

The notion that courage is about our behaving in the face of fear is so basic, so obvious, that it may barely seem worth mentioning. Think again. We have gone through several decades of self-help books, tapes and seminars that focus on feelings. A common theme of these self-help messages is that we should get in touch with our feelings. Express our feelings. Own our feelings. Pound our fists. Shake. Cry. Above all, feel our feelings.

Feel the Feelings - then act anyway

Feelings seem to be beyond our direct control, as fickle, unpredictable and unstable as the weather. Feelings can be totally unrelated to external circumstances. People can have thousands of dollars in the bank and still feel poor. They can have a stack of party invitations and still feel lonely. They can have five degrees and a wall full of diplomas and still feel ignorant.

Actions are much different from feelings

While feelings often elude our direct control, we can always claim full responsibility for our actions. We can feel depressed and still choose to do the laundry. We can feel homesick and still choose to do homework. We can feel lazy and still choose to mow the lawn. We can feel fear and still choose to confess our mistakes.

We can act independently of our feelings

We can fully experience our feelings, know all the details about them and choose to act independently about it. This comes in handy when we feel the tenacious grip of negative feelings, such as fear or anxiety. There is nothing we have to do first in order to gain courage -- all that is required is for us to use the skill we already have and apply it to more and more situations in our life.

Courage is not a mysterious quality that is denied to the masses and dispensed to a chosen few. Courage is a gift each of us has already been granted. We have used it before and it is waiting to be used again whenever we choose.

If you -- or someone you know -- are being held back to be at your personal best because of fear and anxiety related issues then call 321-246-7066 for a absolutely FREE coaching consultation.
