Petra’s life changed phenomenally even though she was living through the Covid pandemic.  She had cleaned out the engine of her mind and clicked into her purpose! She was excited as she now had self management tools to use for the rest of her life.

​So much of her life she heard people talk about this concept of purpose. She never understood why it was so important. Now she understood.  The most exciting thing is that she experienced rapid wins while doing the NLP Practitioner course.

Spending time on an activity you enjoy has the potential to reduce anxiety and improve mental health overall. Research shows that people with hobbies are less likely to suffer from stress, low mood, and depression. Think about it. When you are having a good time, engaged in activities that you enjoy, you feel happier and more relaxed.

When I think of re-charging, the visual of a battery pops into my head. The human mind is like a battery. When the charge is strong, we achieve high performance, as we have the capacity to re-charge self-confidence and use it to the fullest. 

A large proportion of issues arise from a lack of flexibility in behaviour, simply because human beings love routine and certainty. So to contemplate doing something in a different way requires a flex of the muscle, which puts people out and leaves them in a position of discomfort. 

As a Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Trainer, when I see the phrase "dealing with uncertainty" two things strike me;

• All of our life is uncertain. No one can guarantee us any certainty.
• How did we learn to create a box called "LIFE" and rely so heavily on living
  within this box with certainty? ​​

A person who loves continuous learning is driven by a growth mindset. They take on challenges and wear the hat of an adventurer, in manoeuvring twists and turns that life has to offer. 

An old subject but one still so relevant today is the critical skill of improving communication. Whether in the workplace or outside, we are human beings who need to connect for survival and beyond. Hence the need for communication. 

The recent pandemic came swiftly like a swipe of the hand to either help or debilitate different segments of society. If you happened to be on the wrong side of the swipe, many suffered from it, like depression after a job loss. 

People often link creativity with some form of art like painting, sculpture, music, film, fashion or design. These are some ways that creativity manifests itself but there are definitely different art forms that being creative takes.

There are many ways to stop being negative and these comprise conscious, actionable steps plus re-organising your unconscious mind which is the source. 

Decision making is one of the most important life skills a person needs to develop, for good outcomes. I am amazed at how simple strategies like these are not taught at schools, as the impact of poor decision making is far reaching. 

From the time I was young I always set goals to achieve better results, never knowing the full importance or impact of this exercise. Most personal development courses start off with goal setting but never explain how this works.

The holy grail for every organization seems to be a chase to increase productivity in the workplace. It isn’t rocket science that creating effective people is directly correlated to the level of happiness an individual may feel about their job.
