Ever since i was young, i think, the observance of human psychology seemed to steer a natural interest in me, and i have come to realize it is deeply rooted in my Spiritual core. A need for people to analyze & share, seems quite often a basic element that, when not in balance, when not given expression or respect, from other folks or even as, their own thoughts about their own thoughts, havoc reigns.
Motivational seminars seemed to pop up everywhere around me, no matter where i lived, once i had reached the era of my early 20s. Yeah, they were often attached to multi-level marketing (MLMs) businesses, as may be your experience, also, but their value is highly under-rated, and often misunderstood. If you have worked in a large corporation for any length of time, you must have been offered such seminar sessions, and i would like to ask you to try to recall your feelings, from that moment in time. These lectures have represented GROWTH for me. The speakers get you thinking about EVERYTHING. Our attention is turned inward, and for many people, there is little allotted time for that, in our busy lives. How many times will we hear the adage, “if you don’t love yourself, how can you give it to others?”, or the metaphor from the flight attendant’s instructions for the parent to fixate their own oxygen mask, before helping the child. I always felt GREAT & MOTIVATED for a good while after those seminars, but i always find i need another fix, before too long. I thank God for the many intuitive authors that have filled the “live” gaps, in my life, and we can hone diverse benefits from every experience, for sure.
After working with a HYPNOSIS firm, for a short time as a front office assistant a few years ago, i was incredibly impressed with the fast results of behavior changes achieved by the faithful & open participants. Many newspapers will feature advertising from local Certified Hypnotherapists, and frequently one will see the major direction being featured as SMOKING CESSATION and WEIGHT CONTROL. Other aspects of need & success are lesser known and include self esteem, depression, phobic issues & negative habits, often created in childhood from family relationships and traditions. I have seen instant improvement in one friend, who suffered from teenage, medium-level acne, thus creating a socialization phobia. He has managed to maintain a more realistic and compassionate view towards himself & others, regarding these conditions, for many months now, AFTER JUST ONE SESSION, but i would mention he asked for and received a audio ‘cassette’ of his session, and has periodically reviewed it, for support & as mental training & exercise.
I am excited to be able to recommend the folks i know & trust in these wonderful fields of LIFE COACHING. As diverse as these experts are, so are the body of folks who benefit so from their meeting. Typical group seminar offerings can be one day, for 3 – 6 hours, or for a weekend, near or far. Private sessions can be arranged for 30 – 90 minute appointments, in person or by phone. “Accountability” meetings, which might be an aspect of an on-going program, over a designated term of 1 month or 3, or whatever, are incredibly fruitful and lend the ‘close, personal support’ factor needed for many of us, to get “un-stuck”, and over a hump of stagnation, we may find ourselves in.
Couples therapy goes to new modern levels nowadays, and combined vacation packages can give huge meaning to the foundation and longevity of “working things out between us”. The massage therapist in me must interject the profound value of regular massage exchange between couples: the physical bond of this one “thing” can create miracles: a small investment in the tools of this trade are quite worth it, to keep the routine a healthy one for both (bending, stretching are minimized by using a proper table): this practice infuses ‘touch’ and ‘silence’ and we know how ‘golden’ that can be! But ya gotta have the tunes on, to make the massage movements easy & fun, playing with the rhythm of the sound over the landscape of the flesh. I give massage lessons to couples who may desire that: 1 sessions is enough! Check out the page headed with the words: “Health = Happy” to discover the list of cool tools i recommend. You know our pets love MASSAGE & the kids, when they were young: BRING BACK THE TOUCH!
DO NOT FORGET how you may influence your own world better in this COACHING realm: YOU MIGHT SUGGEST TO THE LEADERSHIP OF YOUR “COMMUNITY”, that engaging these SPEAKERS for lectures, brief or lengthy, amongst your groups would be a great success in many ways!
- work: employee perks or trainings, board meetings, annual ‘picnic’
- church: study groups, congregational meetings, social & seasonal events, retreats
- social clubs: country club, “Meet-Ups”, tour-bus-to-vegas ‘entertainment’, AA/Al-anon/Alateen
- OPEN HOUSE: new business event, ribbon-cutting speech & MC duties, social ‘tour’ events
- schools: PTA, high school assemblies, college ‘theater’, quest speaker for a lecture class
- charity events: fund raising capabilities: ticket sales, ‘donation nudging’ themed lectures, unique “prize” for raffle ticket/silent auction proceeds
- convention workshops: so many topics!
- HOME: activities directors for community living: cruises, retreats, retirement homes, assisted living, convalescent homes, prisons
- PARTIES: anniversary, retirement, birthday, Bar/Bat Mitzvas, class reunion, wedding/baby showers, even funerals: incredible GRIEF COUNSELING BENEFITS
- gift certificates: private sessions gifted to anyone, for any reason, unique “prize” for raffle ticket/silent auction proceeds
For any-body, any phase of life, no matter our culture or history, GROWTH and CHANGE are necessary factors for Earthly life, as are RELATIONSHIPS and COMMUNICATION. We are all Blessed with strengths & talents, and LIFE COACHES practice theirs by helping the rest of us, reach our full potential, and leave the negative processes behind: practice makes perfect!
