LIVING EXCELLENTLY

THE LIVING EXCELLENTLY 6 – MONTH PROGRAMME

• Are you feeling stuck or frustrated in your life?
• Do you lack confidence?
• Do you want to get in touch with your true self?
• Are you longing to make your unique contribution?
• Do you want some support in showing up in the world?

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, the Living Excellently Programme may be for you.

I’ll show you how to recognise your true worth and your  unique combination of skills, talents and abilities. You will learn tools to enable you to manifest these in the world so that you make a difference –  and also feel fulfilled and happy.

Who is it for? It is for those who have already done some Personal Development Work and are now ready and willing to go more deeply; for those who want an experienced guide to help them along their chosen path. I will encourage and support you encouraging and not judging.

What does it look like? * The bed-rock of the Living Excellently Programme is group sessions in Confidence-Building and Assertion Skills – learning to build your self-esteem and resilience and sound your note in the world. * This is under-pinned by one-to-one Life Coaching sessions which will help you to define your life path and move forward. * A key feature of the Living Excellently Programme is 3 Community-Building sessions. You will meet like-spirited people who may be your future companions and supporters on this path.

Key Benefits: You will shed fears and insecurities. Participating in this Programme will help you to say goodbye to frustration and uncertainty about where you are going in your life; and hello to inner solidity and resilience and a sense of clarity and rightness about your path.

More details: - the programme runs over 6 months. - 2 days of Building Self-esteem and Confidence (group) - 6 hours of Life Coaching (one-to-one) - 2 Community-Building sessions – Be the Change you want in the world; consolidating what you have learnt and how you intend to move forward, and affirming links and connections.

*  Optional individual Style Coaching sessions, helping you to identify the image you wish to portray and learning how to enhance that image through clothes and colour.

Through participating in this Programme, you get the benefit of both group and individual work. Each element links with the others to form a coherent, compelling whole, enabling you to move forward individually whilst also connecting co-operatively and constructively with those on a similar path

‘Change occurs when you become who you are, not when you try to become who you are not.’

I qualified to teach Assertion Training with the Redwood Institute (run by Anne Dickson) in 1986. I have co-authored a book ‘Assertion Training: How To Be who you Really Are’, published by Routledge.

What are the benefits?

• increased self-esteem
• increased self-awareness
• learning to honour boundaries and say no when appropriate
• getting in touch with your needs and what you want in life
• learning to nurture yourself
• gaining tools to deal with situations and people you  find it difficult to deal with
• feel good about yourself
• get in touch with your values, what is important to you

To be assertive is to be able to express all of who you are. Having these skills can lead to a life of ease, joy and integrity. These courses are run in both a fun and also an informative way. Appreciated as an excellent group facilitator, I honour everyone’s truth and, drawing on my decades of experience in this field, I encourage each participant to recognise the positive aspects of themselves so that they feel inspired to make changes which will lead to living the lives to which they aspire.

Includes: build confidence and self-esteem, get in touch with your uniqueness, your special package of skills, talents and abilities; experiment with different behaviours; learn to create boundaries and say no; go for what you want;  nurture and honour yourself; learn tools to enable you to step forward into a fulfilling life.

Who may benefit? Anyone who wants to: build confidence and become more self-aware; live a more authentic life; be happier; learn how to deal with situations or people where you have difficulties; feel good about yourself; get in touch with and live your values; take steps towards a happy and fulfilling life

Life Coaching usually takes place over the telephone; if the Client prefers the  first session to be face-to-face, that can be arranged. Initially, I ask the Client to fill in a questionnaire which will give me some background information. The number of sessions is by agreement, as is the length of each session (usually three-quarters of an hour or an hour). Benefits include: - being happier and more fulfilled - feeling at ease with yourself - getting more balance in your life - achieving more success in your chosen field - increased confidence and sense of well-being - sense of inner peace - getting clear regarding your unique contribution to the world Cost is: £75 for three-quarters of an hour; this includes email contact and quick calls inbetween sessions
