Create a symbol to represent who you are in 2009!

strength, leadership, knowing, intuition, groundedness, balance

strength, leadership, knowing, intuition, groundedness, balance

I had such fun last week with my group coaching program that I’m running and with an exercise I facilitated with my Holistic Healing Networking Group!   It was an opportunity to take a step back and look at how you wanted to be in 2009!     What do I mean by that?  Well, what qualities do you want to exude?  How do you want to be with your clients?   How do you want show up every day, to feel connected with yourself and others around you?    What kind of characteristics do you want to have for you business to grow,  for your relationships to flourish?    I think you are getting the ‘picture’  now!

Take a moment to think about what this means to you!  What image generally one from nature -animal, insect, fish, water, tree, flower etc, comes to mind and really inspires you when you think of it.

Once you thinkof the image, make a short list of words and actions that come to mind that this picture or image represents for yourself.    Sit for a couple of minutes and reflect on the image and the words, and what it means to you….  (see very easy)

Don’t force an image to come to mind, if it doesn’t come straight away, take the pressure off,  go and do something else, and then it will to you, just like it did for my client  – his image was a Phoenix!  how powerful that is!   Another client had the image of a dolphin!  Just think of the qualities and meaning this images can evoke in someone, maybe even you!

Now that you have your image or symbol, in the next week see if you can find a picture or memento that will be a constant reminder for you through out the year.  To keep you inspired and excited about 2009.

It will give you a chance to reflect continually coming back to a central point of focusing on what you want to achieve and how you want to be, a theme by which you will run your life, and beautiful way to ground yourself when things become stressful or overwhelming or your path has been a little foggy.

I would love to hear how this little exercise helps you!  Please post your sharing of your experience.

Warmly,

Coach Louise

‘Three Cups of Tea’ – an inspirational read to start the New Year!

 

A true act of heroism.

A true act of heroism.

I am ‘wowed’ by the book I have just put down (I really couldn’t put it down for the 2/3 days it took me to read it!) Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin.   I am so inspired by the work and bravery of Greg Mortenson and the people he has banded together in the extraordinary effort to promote world peace by bringing education to children in Pakistan and Afghanistan!  

As a coach I see how he has had the ability to keep moving forward despite roadblocks and failures ultimately leading to amazing outcomes!   I recognise how difficult this must have been particularly when he often faced these challenges alone and in extremely difficult and adverse physical  and mental conditions.  Greg is a true hero.   Anyone who needs inspiration to keep moving forward in what their doing, whatever it is, will find it in this story.

I am uplifted and inspired and not only that, now more educated, as to the cause of terrorism coming from the hotbeds of extremism, poverty, ignorance and lack of education.  And that Greg, who tackled this issue from a perspective of peace and intellect, initially alone, has made and continues to make a huge difference to many many impoverished people, as well as contributing to the worlds safety in a way that comes from love and compassion, not hate and retribution.  We all have something to learn from him. 

I believe he is part of what has become a tipping point worldwide towards hope, love, compassion and collaboration to create the lives, the world and the planet we want.

I implore you to read this book!  Not only is it a gripping story of Greg’s experiences but also of his vision of what’s possible, and how one person can make a difference! 

Greg, thank you for being the person that you are, and thank you to all that circulate in Greg’s hemisphere for the support and contributions and sacrifices you have made, to make what he has done, possible.

In gratitude and inspiration,

Coach Louise

A Thanksgiving Message to those making a difference.

 

a moment of gratitude

Great Rivers of Gratitude, from James O’Dea

Your body loves gratitude! Not a superficial “oh gee, thanks” but a 
deep, heart-connected appreciation that carries love and acceptance 
from a place of higher consciousness and well-being.

Your body loves it because it washes away the biochemistry of stress 
and insufficiency and replaces it with the alchemy of flow and 
emotional warmth. The resonance from gratefulness warms both the giver 
and receiver; it generates a field of appreciation sometimes referred 
to as limbic resonance. In the field of appreciation, we create a 
healing and reviving antidote to psycho-toxins such as “I don’t have 
time,” “I don’t have enough,” or “I am drained.”

Each trickle of gratitude blesses us with its affirmation that we have 
all we need in consciousness itself to gather our strength and honor 
life. Each stream of gratitude clears out the corrosive toxins of 
stress and anxiety in your body and becomes a gift to yourself and to 
others.

Now visualize great rivers of gratitude coming together as we turn 
collectively to face the hour in which we live. “With all of its sham, 
drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world,” wrote Max 
Ehrmann. Even in the face of war, violence, and severe climate 
imbalance, Christopher Fry declared, “Thank God that our time is now, 
when wrong comes up to meet us everywhere.” We can be grateful that we 
are here in this time of earth challenges with an unquenchable sense of 
hope and with a steadfast belief in our human capacity to heal, to 
renew and even to go beyond what seemed our most persistent 
limitations.

So I say let the gratitude flow. We are ready for the challenges that 
exist now and that lie ahead. Let these great rivers of our deepest 
intention flow towards a polarized and distracted world and cleanse it 
with the power of love. We come from all races, all creeds, all 
socio-political backgrounds with one unifying feeling of gratitude for 
life, for consciousness, and for a new evolutionary path forward. We 
come with gratitude for every being that came before us. We have been 
given an epic moment in the journey of life on earth to bring our 
greatest scientific knowledge together with our deepest spiritual 
insight to change the course of history. If you ever thought you were 
insignificant, consider how you are now needed in this great shift. And 
be grateful that you were given such a role and such a time to live in.

Thank you, thank you for what each one of you does to step up and to 
raise the consciousness of the citizens of this world. Thank you for 
feeding these great rivers, even in the face of wounding and denial. 
Thank you for being you.

ICF Conference 2008 Report-Back!

plant-pot-world

Wow I can’t believe the ICF conference is over, it went so quickly!   Now I am back in NJ I can start blogging regularly again!  I thought I would blog every day at the ICF, but soon realised that was going to be difficult – with time and energy being the two things getting in the way.  Kudos to Lynn Schaber from the NJPCA who managed to post to our Yahoo Group website every day!    

The ICF Conference in Montreal was wonderful, if any coach is asking themselves whether its worth going, I would say definitely.  You to get marinate in the soup of coaching!  There were 1400 participants, and I met some wonderful people there who are doing great things.  It so amazing to be part of that. 

The main theme through Super Session Keynote Speakers was about global unity and awareness, being able to do something to help our planet and each other to make it the place we really want.  This is from physical and spiritual standpoint.  Verdana Shiva really highlighted all the major things that we as the human race are doing to the earth’s resources and how we can take responsibility in our own small way!  She said, every time you use electricity or do something that depletes the planet’s energy, think of it as ‘a puff of smoke’ off the coal burning that makes the majority of the world’s energy.  We can make a difference by the choices we make.

Peter Senge, a wonderful author, also spoke about the difference we can make from a socially responsible view of cultural development in organisations and society.  That we can have sustainable businesses, with happy people if we go about it the right way.

Matthieu Ricard, a French Buddhist, the right hand man to the Dalai Lama,  was fascinating.  He spoke about how it is possible to raise our level of happiness, even when we experience the ups and downs of normal human emotions.   Through the practice of meditation, your awareness, consciousness, and the opportunity to communicate with your soul, raise the brain wave activity in your brain to a level which has been scientifically proved to create happiness.  He shared his scientific research with us, and it was mindblowing to see how meditation could effect us on so many levels.  Just in relieving stress, the cortisol levels drop dramatically as one example.   He was an inspiration.

There was so much on offer during the break out sessions.  I got to experience and enjoy a Drumming Circle, and am now inspired to start one in my area!   We had amazing speakers discussing ways to grow your business, and I got a lot of value from that.  Also I got some CCEU’s attending Wisdom Circles where MCC coaches from around the world would coach each other in front of the room.  This was a wonderful opportunity to explore the ICF guiding principles, as well as seeing really experienced coaches in action.  There was so much more!

  I took away that this experience can really deepen my skills as a coach, as well as connect with like-minded individuals setting the intention to create amazing lives on a global scale!  I am now really looking forward to the next ICF conference which will be in Orlando Dec 2-5th 2009!

Get Clear Now – 90 Day Challenge Group Program starts 4th November!

Get Clear Now – 90 Day Challenge Mastermind Group

Clarity!

Clarity!

 

Get Clarity! Refine your vision! Create your intentions! Get focused! Create tangible results!!

 

These are just a few of the accomplishments you could have, by participating in a special group starting next week.

The holidays are upon us!  It’s important to have fun, however it is easy to get off track over the Silly Season!   Does the shaky economy have you shaking in your boots?  Is the election distracting you from your mission?  Are the demands of family, children and day to day life, getting in the way of creating that special dream you have always wanted.  If you are running a business, is everything running smoothly and are clients running through your door?  Are your limiting beliefs holding you back from accomplishing what you really want?   Do you have a handle on manifesting wonderful and meaningful results in your life?   

 

t’ave fun, 

 

 

Take the opportunity to clear your head, and get cracking on what’s most important to YOU!  Stop procrastinating and take steps to make your immediate goals real.   A special mastermind group is forming that will meet for an hour each week by phone.  On the first call each member will introduce them self and set intentions for the next 90 days (bearing in mind that the last 30 days of the program will be the first 30 days of the New Year!)

 

In ongoing sessions we will:

 

·         Clarify our intentions.

·         Make sure we are in alignment with our goals.

·         Make sure our goals are ‘do-able’ and construct a solid process to make sure they can be successfully and easily accomplished.

·         Review progress and re-define our goals and intentions over time as necessary.

·         Get really clear about how you want to end 2008, and how you want to start 2009!

·         Get coaching, helpful tips and tools as well as great resources and support from Louise – not forgetting the unique support and contribution from other group members.

·         Create shifts in perspective, through group discussion and inquiry, which will propel you forward.

·         Have the opportunity to brainstorm and collaborate in our own virtual boardroom.

·         Get to practice and implement the Law of Attraction.

·         Make wonderful friendships and alliances with amazing people.

·         Create a confidential and safe space with non-judgment, and full participation.

·         Celebrate our accomplishments big, and small.

 

 

And, in between calls, each member will have unlimited email access to Louise and the opportunity to interact with other members in a private forum.

 

 

There is one requirement of the individuals who register for this program: willingness.  A willingness to show up and take action is all that is needed to get started.  

Are you willing? Are you ready to take action?  Jump off the fence, and join us! At the amazing price of $289 for the full 90 days you will also receive a bonus of 30 minutes private coaching with Louise each month.  It is an opportunity not to be missed – this price will no be repeated.  A similar personal coaching package would be worth $1200+.

 

My mission is to assist people, like you, doing important and meaningful things in the world, to make your potential real.

 

We will start on Tuesday, 4th November (yes, I know Election Day!) at 7pm Eastern.  There are just a few seats left.  Please call me as soon as possible to book your space and Get Clear Now!

 

Warmly,

Louise

 

PS: If the timing is not right, I am taking bookings now for the ‘Start the New Year with a Bang

~ 90 Day Challenge’ beginning in January.  these are small intimate groups and space is limited, so book your place now.  An early bird price of $329 is available until December 12th.  Thereafter the price is $389.  (Could this be the special gift you have been looking to give someone? – it truly will be a wonderful experience.)

 Louise welcomes any questions you might have about the program.

 

Do you have an important message?!

What is your path?

What is your path?

What do I mean by ‘a message’?    As a coach or holistic practitioner or a business owner who serves others, generally what you are doing is for a reason.  Did something happen to you that caused pain and suffering?  My friend Julie, is an acupuncturist and herbalist because she was terribly afflicted with occular migraine, and she was cured by acupunture – she left a spectacular career in the corporate world to give to others.  A gift came from her trying experience.  She is now focused on giving her knowledge, experience and expertise to others.  She helps women fall pregnant who have infertility issues, she has treated me for that and for migraines, she is an enormous help to cancer patients, relieving their pain.  

We might also be clued into what our message or mission might be if we feel passionate or incensed about something.  When was a  time you felt really excited or happy, what things do you do, or have you done, that make you feel good?   If you can identify what those are, you are that much closer to knowing what your purpose or message is.   

I was at a seminar held by my friend and colleague Marcia Wieder, America’s Dream Coach, called Inspired Speaker this last week.  Besides having an amazing experience, it became very evident to me that there are a lot of people who have an important message to share, because of their own experiences.  One woman, Teena, talked about being a cancer survivor, twice.  She had shared how some of her friends had told her how inspiring her story was, and that she should write a book.  As we talked, it became evident that she had a very important message, one that could save lives and give hope – that she had a responsibility to write, speak or share her message in some way.    She had been looking at writing a book from the point of view of ‘who am I to write a book?’ but ultimately she realised it was not about her, she had a responsibility that was bigger than her. 

Have you identified what your message or mission is?  and are you making it your responsibility to share it with the world?  

Warmly,

Coach Louise

PS:  Coaching is a powerful method to help identify what your message or purpose or vision for life is!  Who is your partner in getting clarity around this?  You might have a responsibility to share what your experience has been.   I invite you to contact me for a free consultation!
