New Year's Resolutions - Recipes For Success!

This class focuses on discovering what it takes to make resolutions you really can keep - What do you really want? What could you do? What will you do? I introduce a life coaching approach to designing and creating a life containing more of what you want, and less of what you don't.

Think Yourself Thin!
This workshop focuses on understanding your "Personal Power Pyramid" - the interactions between your Needs, Thoughts, Feelings and Actions. This approach can help you take control of your life, choosing how you want it to be: Refine your goals, reframe your intentions, listen to and laugh at your excuses, and tap into your infinite personal wisdom and strength (click here for flyer).

What You Say Next Can Change Your Life ...
What we say, to ourselves and others, can literally change our lives, and theirs - and what we say next is a matter of choice. In this seminar/workshop, I will explore how the things we say are influenced by our needs, thoughts, feelings and actions. Since much of what we say is in response to others, we will also explore the significance of what we 'say' as we listen. We'll close by sharing some tips on achieving win: win outcomes to conflict - where what you say next can really make all the difference (click here for flyer).
