You Only Live Once

30/1/2023

​I see the words passion and purpose so much today. I don’t think my parents ever thought of living their lives charged with these concepts, in the forefront of their minds. But looking back on their lives, they did live with passion and purpose.
We were lucky enough to have a family where joy and laughter prevailed amidst the seriousness of excelling in studies. Not everyone came from that type of family though.

Create Your Luck!

17/1/2023

So the New Year has arrived and you are hopefully wondering how to manifest a life that you love. You may think this is only for the elite few who are lucky. What if I told you luck is created?
​
There is a formula and strategy to this. I know as I even wrote a book about it called “Bye Bye Black Cat – Turn Your Luck Around And Realise Opportunities” This came from an innate desire to prove people wrong.

Time For A Re-set?

10/1/2023

0 Comments

 
The opportunity to re-set stares us square as we enter a new year every year. Some make use of this refreshing energy that affords a boost and a clean start. Others see it as just another year to do the same thing over again.
How do you feel? Will it be the same or different from the last? Are you a fatalist who does not believe in creating what you want or a manifester who knows that paths can be changed?  ​

​As Annabelle welcomed the new year she reminisced about things that she had already let go of in the preceding year. She documented them in her diary. These experiences would augur well for others on the same journey. She had the intention of collating these experiences into a book someday. What to let go of;

Richard’s spousal relationship made a  significant turnaround fast. He was  shocked at the rapid changes both he and  his wife experienced. Overnight they were  both on a different level. It was a miracle! 
But then again was it? In the back of his  mind his NLP coach Sandy’s voice rang  loud and clear. She had said that as he hit  session 3 or so, he would begin to see  phenomenal changes. His internal radar  was re-orientating.

7 Shocking Reasons Why Your New Years' Resolutions Will Not Succeed

10/12/2022

0 Comments

 
1. YOU’RE TREATING A MARATHON LIKE A SPRINT
​You’re treating a marathon like a sprint Setting a New Year’s Resolution is a wonderful way to start the year ahead. I would encourage everyone reading this to do so. If you have not started it is never too late to do so because there is a stark difference between people who set goals and ones who don’t. People who set goals are effectively re-directing their mind to what they want. This is fundamental to success. People who don’t set goals get easily distracted as there is no structure to what they really want to achieve - their mind is haphazard, over-active, not focused.

Annabelle was learning fast. Sandy her NLP coach had helped her transform out of a bad relationship and she was ready to learn self management skills so she could be independent.
​

The more reliance on self, the faster she would achieve what she wanted. The more she depended on others, the less control she would have on her outcomes.

Achieving Work-Life Balance in A Busy World

14/11/2022

0 Comments

 
​The concept of achieving work-life balance is very personal and subjective as it is determined by so many variables;
·      changes in family status
·      age
·      family commitments
·      state of health
·      personal events
Factor  in the busy and uncertain world we live in. Are we yearning for too much? Is this achievable or just pie in the sky stuff? Definitely a tough call but one we need to make a choice about.

Work-Life Balance The Easy Way

6/11/2022

0 Comments

 
​Over the years of observing people straddle a job and home, I observed that the ones who “perfected” work-life balance were good time managers. Hence my first focus in this series is time management.
 
So which bucket are you in? Do you manage time or does time manage you? Do you often feel that there are not enough hours in a day?  Or are you someone who marches through the day like clock-work?

Employees began to use NLP

29/10/2022

“Make my people happy at home and they will come to work happy. Don’t worry about company performance as that will happen automatically” said one of my CEO clients. 

He very much believed in the power of people. I was hired to mobilise the workforce towards the organisation’s vision. Why me? Because I had the tools to work through any emotional or mental issue that blocked individuals from reaching their full potential.

Petra walked down the street and came to a crossroad. She had to choose – left or right? Having already been through hell in her life, she knew the wrong road would only make her suffer more. 
 
Her heart said right and her thinking mind said left. She decided to go right. After all she had been training her soul intelligence to find its way towards self-management and was beginning to see some success through the otherwise closed blinds of her life.

Path to Identity

15/10/2022

0 Comments

 
So the question remains “how do I find myself, my identity?” NLP was the saviour for me. It was many years ago when I went through a life transition, reinventing myself from a corporate job in banking, to running my own business.
 
It took 5 years of tumbling through jobs, upskilling myself through personal development courses and eventually stopping because I had found my passion.

Identity – The I AM Statement

8/10/2022

0 Comments

 
​Many calamities came our way, from a pandemic to repercussions from global warming. All of these caused pain and discomfort which had people squirming in their circumstances. Some lost jobs and others were forced to reinvent themselves.
 
It is situations like these that pushed people into a corner, forcing them to make change. Choice was limited. Opportunities abound but they had to turn around. This rise in consciousness was the ultimate goal that opened doorways in minds. This method was the old way. No pain no gain as the old adage goes.

Re-start Your Engine After A Job Loss

1/10/2022

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.
 
I for one was hit like other training providers, by the shutdown of face-to-face interaction. Speedily, many of us in the field garnered resources to reinvent ourselves into the online space. ​

Dealing with Depression

25/9/2022

0 Comments

 
​Globally, more than 264 million people of all ages suffer from depression. An astonishing statistic! A leading cause of disability worldwide and a major contributor to the overall global burden of disease, depression and other mental health conditions are on the rise.
 
From experience as an NLP Master Coach, I feel we could do more to stem out this disease. The scary thing is that many people who are depressed don’t even know it. It seems to attack under the radar. It is at the end of the day, our responsibility to help ourselves, improving emotional wellness to inadvertently close the door on depression.

NLP and Bi-polar - A Case Study

15/9/2022

0 Comments

 
I taught NLP to many groups of people from corporate, to individuals throughout the Asia Pacific Region. Those seeking to better their lives came to learn NLP as they wanted to work on discovering their internal selves. It was a good start. That is how NLP worked best - applied to self first, then others.
 
This was how individuals who were convinced that NLP processes worked possessed conviction to work with others. It was a good way to learn, applying new knowledge to a context and seeing results from it.

Improving Mental Health with NLP Processes

8/9/2022

0 Comments

 
​For Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioners such as myself, the Covid-19 Pandemic did us a humongous favour. It shone the spotlight on mental health, a subject seen as “nice to have” rather than a necessity. Escalated in importance overnight, as the Pandemic swept through the world with its witch’s broom, we realised globally that it wasn’t only our physical health that was under threat.

NLP & Its Changes Over The Years

29/8/2022

0 Comments

 
Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) was discovered and coded into a structure for all to use in the late 70’s. Applied mostly to hypnosis sales training and psychotherapy, it evolved over the years to efficiency coaching. Corporates focused on NLP’s cutting edge impact to make fast and good decisions from accessing intuition. 

As I evolved and reinvented myself from a commercial banker to an NLP Trainer my company VIA Frontiers NLP program was steeped towards corporate applications. I conducted NLP sales training for a major client base that formed organically, focused on NLP insurance sales.

What is NLP? Why The Rave?

19/8/2022

Often, people do not see the natural link of an individual’s success and NLP. How this improves the performance of a business as a whole and how a simple NLP for business course is able to solve problems at the individual level, which translates to a stronger business as a whole. 

Thank goodness for John and Trevor who were driving the Culture Alignment project. They had experienced NLP and been benefactors to how this amazing methodology worked.

Benefits of NLP Training for Organisations

14/8/2022

1 Comment

 
Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) was no longer a buzzword or trend in the business world.  It had evolved and proven itself as an effective business tool.  It is the very reason that savvy CEO’s bought in to hiring NLP Training as a corporate wide initiative. They saw it as a strategy to get ahead of the competition.  

It was the very reason Janice, a forward thinking CEO decided to make that call to Sylvia Fernandes, CEO and Founder of VIA Frontiers. Wanting to impact and change employee thought patterns and behaviours to generate more consistent and predictable outcomes, she knew she needed the expertise of an NLP coach.

Riding the Storm at Work

6/8/2022

0 Comments

 
“Does the thought of change make you feel fearful?  Does it make you anxious?  How did you ride the pandemic storm at work?” these were some questions that Bala, Culture Alignment consultant was posing to John, COO of the organisation. 

John felt weathered by the storm, as if he had just stepped off a ship. Having to run with his intuition, he did his best. While he always thought of himself as adaptable, he felt the enormous stress at work. People were living in fear of losing their jobs. They had to adapt to new work from home regimes.

Attracting Talent – The How To!

28/7/2022

​Over years of working with leadership teams, the one common factor that lay ahead as a sticky point was how to get in bed with the new generations.
 
Most leadership teams comprised IQ driven leaders who were struggling with the newness of what was expected of them. Those who acknowledged their lack of fit for the future hired coaches. Others enforced authority even more, allowing ego to take center stage.
