Introduction to NLP

25 April 2017

An Introduction to Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) with Ginette

Ever wonder why you sometimes have a ‘sixth sense’ about what’s going to happen, just before it does? Or how that nagging inner-voice knows just what to say to make you stop believing in yourself?
With an Introduction to NLP, Ginette took us through an evening of understanding what NLP is all about and how it can help us not only understand how our brains process information and make split-second decisions, but also what we can do to re-align our thoughts for heart and mind synergy, positivity and happiness!

Adversity to Freedom

11 April 2017

Amanda C Watts led a lively and worksheet based session on ‘Adversity to Freedom’ sharing her own story from adversity in her home and work life to family happiness and self-employment. Amanda gave away some copies her best-selling book  “Escape – The definitive guide to escaping the rat race, starting a business, and becoming a Freedompreneur”.

Although Amanda’s story is about becoming self-employed her tools and tips were equally applicable to employed , unemployed and self-employed alike – anyone who wants to create their own a dream life. We all came away reaffirming we were on the right track and/or buzzing with ideas on tweaks to make to our lives!

What attendees thought:

‘Great to be with a fab group of women for the evening.’

‘Lovely, warm, supportive environment. It felt really lovely to meet intelligent, active women.’

‘Good to have practical things to take away’

Creating Heart-Led Goals

24 January 2017

We got 2017 off to a great start with this session, where Marie helped us create goals that tap into our emotional well-being.

Creating our goals (both work and home-related) to lead a holistic and well-balanced life are usually head-led (using logic), rather than heart-led (using emotion). This event supported us to explore ways of tapping into our emotions and use these to create powerful, compelling goals.

My whole career has been focused on supporting people to be the best they can be benefiting not only themselves, but also the organisations they work for, or with, and their families and friends

During my thirty years in learning and development, leadership and coaching I have worked in and with private, public, higher education and not-for-profit sectors.  I feel very grateful and lucky to work with some amazing and inspirational people and organisations. I established my own leadership development and executive coaching business, SUCCESSMITH, in 2012. I continue to enjoy working with a variety of organisations and individuals to support and co-create transformational change.

My passion is supporting people to understand what success means to them and go for what they really want out of life. I specialise in coaching and facilitating the development of leaders in organisations, departments, and teams. I also work on a one-to-one basis with private individuals.

I particularly enjoy supporting all genders, and particularly women, to define and achieve their ‘life purpose’ by overcoming tangible or imagined obstacles.

I feel very privileged that through SUCCESSMITH and through my work with the Aspiring Women Groups, I am able to support others by ‘being the spark that lights the flame for transformational change’, and this is what makes me smile and gives me a reason to get out of bed in the mornings!

Making Time For Mindfulness

18 October 2016

You asked and we delivered!

October’s event was all about Mindfulness – a subject popularly requested.

Scott Brown of Zen Balance took us through managing everyday stress with some mindfulness techniques he’s learnt on his journey from competitive athlete and city trader to Yoga and Mindfulness teacher in Dorset.

Scott said:

It seems in modern living that we can be caught up in lot of stress and anxiety about any number of issues. The talk will broadly look at how we can, with awareness, manage everyday stress, the roles we take on in life and a look at time pressure.
 
There will be a number of practises throughout the presentation that can be used to help develop a little mindfulness on a day to day basis and time for questions after.

Scott Brown

Prior to studying and teaching yoga and meditation, life looked a little different. A background in competitive sport and a career as a city trader had certainly taken its toll on my mind and body.
 
Life was very much about needing to get somewhere, very busy and not a lot of satisfaction. Luckily a friend introduced me to Andy Puddicombe prior to the days of Headspace when he had a little company called Asunya in Kensington.
 
I began mindfulness study, which in turn led to yoga study. Within a few years I was out of the city, living on the south coast with my daughter, teaching yoga and mindfulness full time.
 
The journey is ongoing, now studying with Zen Master Julian Daizan Skinner in the Rinzai tradition of Zen.
