Reaching Beyond Change… Transition Coaching

 

Transition, going from here to there, is an experience we all go through. It may be personal, professional, social, cultural, or physical – made by choice or by factors beyond our control. But all transitions share in common:

  • something to leave behind – an ending - letting go of what we no longer need;

  • a direction to head toward – a new beginning – identifying what we truly value and want; and finally,

  • moving from one to the other – the transition process.

Transitions can be daunting to deal with alone. As your Coach, we can explore together the nature of your particular transition – its meaning and challenges – and give structure and accountability to the process. No matter at what stage of life you are, we can identify what you want to achieve, what you need to let go of, chart a step-by-step path toward reaching your goals, and work together to implement those changes.

 

Change begins by taking that first step.

Reaching Beyond 50… To live the life you want: http://www.eveblack.net/workshops.htm .

 

A skier once said: Once we’re over the hill, we pick up speed!

 Today we are blessed with greater longevity than ever before presenting us with the potential for maximizing our quality of life far longer.
We enter our 50s and 60s with enormous life experience and with many of life’s demands and responsibilities either well under way or already accomplished. We are less pressured and can afford to be more reflective, choosing to continue evolving in our personal and professional lives as they are, or venture out to pursue new dreams.

 

It is not unusual to still feel deep down that there is something more waiting for us that we are meant to be doing – something that will enable us to live more fully, expressing our imagination and emotional depth, and fulfill a sense of our true identity. But how do we find out what it is? More simply: 'Now, what?'

 

                                         RETIREMENT                                      PROTIREMENT

  • Attitude:             The best years are behind me         There can be even better years ahead

  • Balance:             Work is really where it’s at          There’s so much more to life than work

  • Process:              I’ll do what’s expected of me      I can reinvent my life to be what I want

  • Perspective:        It’s downhill from here                There are more options than ever

  • Comfort Zone:    Doing what I’ve always done         My experience and outlook are my
                                                                               comfort zone

    Where do you see yourself here?

     

    • This is the time to discover a life of extended possibilities – to uncover who you want to be and what you want to do – to redefine the purpose and style of your life. It’s your time to move from ‘We are what we do’ to ‘We do what we are’.

Reaching Beyond Presentation… Mastering the Art of the Lecture & Improving Presentation Skills.

 

There are no shortcuts to delivering a good lecture.

'I am the most spontaneous speaker in the world because every word, every gesture, and every retort has been carefully rehearsed.'(George Bernard Shaw)

 

These workshops are designed for students, academics and professionals who feel challenged when standing before an audience to speak or make a presentation. Stage fright needn’t be, considering that you have put a lot of time and effort into your subject. So getting your message across should be as easy and smooth as you want it to be. The sessions focus on:


Preparation

  • Knowing your material and your audience and focusing your thoughts.

    • Perspective

  • Conveying your point of view

    • Presence

  • Becoming confident and comfortable on stage

    • Presentation

  • Text – Visuals - Body Language - Personality

    • Practice, Practice, Practice

  • 'It usually takes me more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech.' (Mark Twain)

    • Professionalism

  • Projecting competence and knowledge


    • The sessions are flexible in format, according to the needs of the participants. Private sessions can be arranged, including personal editing assistance for written material for publication.

    Reaching Beyond Relocation… Living who you are, wherever you are.

    • Are you working for an international organization far away from home?

    • Are you on overseas corporate or diplomatic assignment?

    • Are you the accompanying spouse?

    • Are you a self-made expat, living the life you created for yourself?
       

    If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, then you know that keeping the experience interesting, challenging, meaningful and pleasant can come at a price. Living and working in today’s global community can be daunting.

    Having agreed to take that overseas job or transfer to yet another diplomatic posting, exchanging a life far away from home for one of unpredictability and continual upheaval can at first seem like a stimulating adventure – as you move your furniture yet again. You may find yourself continually reinventing your comfort zone as you face the ‘once again’ unfamiliar, while your personal life and that of your spouse or family needs to be put ‘on hold’ until the day you return home.

    Exhilarating? Most likely. But at the same time, exhausting. And ultimately, unsettling. You may find yourself asking, ‘Who am I in all this?’

     

    How can Coaching help?
     

    Everyone posted in the global arena has a unique personal lifestyle and need for self-expression, fulfillment and development, while posted abroad. A coach is there to be your personal companion, helping you remain accountable to yourself while at your current posting, through your next posting, to the inevitable homecoming. These passages need not be traumatic. A coach offers support and encouragement and the best opportunity to discover who you really are, what you want to be, and helps you develop your uniqueness while simultaneously serving the needs and demands of your overseas life.

    While all around you is temporary, we’re here to see to it that you remain ‘stirred, not shaken’, and be true to yourself and flourish – no matter where in the world you may be going next.

    Reaching Beyond Coaches Training… Business Essentials for Coaches: http://www.YourCoachingBusinessSuccess.com


    The decision to become a life or business coach most often comes when people decide they want to change their lifestyles, feeling: ‘I want to work with people rather than things’ – OR – ‘corporate life is no longer for me’.

    While you are a life or business coach in training, learning your skills, you test them on willing friends and family members. But reality soon surfaces when, as a newly trained coach, you meet your first challenge:

    • How am I ever going to find real clients?

    • Will they pay me for my services?

    • Can I actually make money doing this?

    • Should I really think of making money? After all, I am providing a service to help people.

    The notion of helping people while you make money on the services you offer are not mutually exclusive! You can help people and, at the same time, feed your family, go on nice vacations, live a comfortable lifestyle – all in sinc with one another.

    It depends, of course, whether your approach to your coaching is as a professional running a business, something you integrate into whatever you are already doing, or offer as a service in your spare time.
    If you have decided to make your newly acquired profession a business, this is the place for you.

    Take my Coaching Business Essentials Course and get started on the right foot.
