Live with Purpose

It wasn’t meant to be like this! When I was younger I thought it must be wonderful to be a grown up; doing what you wanted when you wanted, with no one to tell you when to go bed and no one making you eat broccoli.

Now I am older I know that life is a juggling act and woe betide anyone who drops a ball. Home, work and family all make demands and sometimes I don’t know where to begin. Worse, I know that I am not giving all the areas of my life the levels of attention they need – something has to suffer and it’s usually me.

At least, that’s how it used to be…

Work with Purpose

Work takes up a significant proportion of our daily lives and, in order to feel good, we need to have work that has purpose for us.

Do you know why you work? Do you work to live or live to work? Is your work interesting, motivating and challenging? If not, why not?

You may feel passionate about what you do and want to get more out of work. You may want to achieve greater success. You may have a business you want to grow, or take in a new direction.

Alternatively, your work may be boring or mundane and impacting on your life in a negative way. You don’t want to get up in the morning to go to work and while you are there you experience unhappiness and boredom, which leads to frustration and resentment.

All these issues can be addressed through coaching. I can work with you to take your success further or help you identify the problems and turn negative issues into positive actions.

Check out my three coaching programmes.

Learn with Purpose

In today’s busy society, with ever increasing pressures of personal and professional commitments, how do you stop feeling guilty?

When you are at home you feel guilty about not being at work and when at work you feel guilty about not being at home.

My development programmes will show you how to separate these two key areas of your life, allowing you to give more and better quality time to both. This, in turn, will enable you to run your own life instead of having your life running you.Learn With Purpose for Personal Development
My personal development journey started as a parent. Now, as an experienced trainer and workshop facilitator, I create personal development training specifically tailored to individual client needs.

I can arrange workshops for groups of 4 or more on topics such as:

• Handling Difficult People Assertively.
• Stressbusting.
• Make yourself heard.

My workshops are based around subjects of which I have sound knowledge, while my experience and expertise guarantees you a facilitator who knows how to communicate and enable learning. What’s more, I have personal experience of using the tools and materials, so you know you are getting something that works and can be used immediately.

Give me a call to find out more about how my workshops can help you.

Learn with Purpose for Professional Development

FAQ’s

1. Is life coaching the same as counselling?

No it isn’t. Counselling looks at the past. It goes over old ground to look at where a problem may be coming from. Life coaching looks at where a person is right now, asks “Where do you want to be?” and takes you through a process that enables you to find the best route to get you there.

2. What is NLP?

Neurolinguistic Programming has been described as an instruction manual for the brain. It has been developed from research in the 1970’s, and can help with many things including phobias, past trauma, and removing blocks to success.

3. What could I have life coaching for?

Do you have aspect of your life that you want to change? Perhaps you would like to be fitter, slimmer, or more confident. You may be looking at a change of direction. You may be uncertain about a relationship. You may want clarity about a decision you are about to make and which is causing you some anxiety. Life coaching can help with all of these things.
