Welcome to Coaching Catalyst

Life coaching is all about looking at how you can change your behaviour and actions in the present moment so you can influence your future. It is not therapy or counselling so we shan't be delving in detail into past events and the 'Story' of your life because its far more enlightening and exciting to discover where you want to go and how you are going to get there. As part of that process it is important though to acknowledge how far you have come on the journey of life and affirm your learning, skills and successes.

So if like most people you have heartfelt dreams and desires with a deep yearning to realise them and very good intentions about changing your life in order to do so, BUT somehow you are always pressed for time, resources, support - even space in which to think about what you want and how to achieve it, then Life Coaching may be for you.

To help you get started on the path of change and catalyse your perception of what's possible I have made available ten different articles for FREE. They address the major areas of concern for most people - the fields of wealth attraction, work and relationship mastery. I trust that you will begin to find what you are looking for.

It's 2008, what are some of the things you would most like to achieve in your life this year? Now If you had to choose just one achievement for the year what would that be? It might help to imagine that you are at the end of an eventful and exciting 2008 - looking back over the year, what one achievement are you most proud of? Now set about making this goal as real as possible for yourself by seeing yourself in the successful scenario, noticing what you are saying to yourself and how others describe your achievement. What details do you notice - where are you - what are you wearing - are you alone or with others - is the image still or moving - what are you feeling and where is that feeling located in your body - is it warmth- does it have a colour - is it vibrating - do you notice any other sounds or sensations. Now I want you to turn the volume up - make the scenario more vibrant, intense and dynamic - place it in the centre of your visual field so you can see it with absolute clarity.

Like an athlete rehearse this successful outcome as often as possible, make it real, imagining it has already happened. The more you visualise this state, the more your will be able to commit to it with the whole of your being and address any resistance that surfaces. Now you need to look at the specifics of how you are goint to get there. Fast forward again to the end of 2008 and the fulfillment of your greatest desire, look back now and discover the actions that you needed to take to realise that achievement. What resources did you need - knowledge, money, time, people, technology, energy and focus? Congratulations you have taken the first few steps to making a powerful difference to your life this year.

With over 7 years of experience of coaching myself and others and an additional 10 years experience in the personal growth field I have diiscovered that the key to unleasing your personal power and transforming the world around you is the opinion you hold of yourself. You must learn to value yourself, honour your life and hold yourself in high self esteem. You must believe in yourself. Out of this well of inner strength and creative resourcefulness can spring a wealth of ideas for a compelling future, a beautiful courageous vision, and the insight into how you can fulfill your potential, starting here and now.

My story of personal growth began eighteen years ago, aged 25. I was training to be a chartered accountant at a top city firm, lived in a beautiful area of London, was extraordinary popular but in reality my self esteem was terrible. I hated myself, felt tremendous guilt and despair about being bulimic for 8 years, powerless to change my life circumstances and trapped in a dark tunnel of gloom. It was a crisis in my health due to exam stress that ultimately precipitated transformation in my life - my throat closed up - I couldn't eat or drink for 3 days and I had the thought - something had to change or I would die.....I took the first step and gave up smoking and with the money enrolled onto an art and drama night class. Thus began an exciting journey of creative awakening and self realisation and it still continues today. However I am trusting that you are in better shape than I was and won't wait until a crisis strikes for you to take action and empower yourself.

Clients have come to me because, like me all those years ago they identified that something had to change - they were no longer able to put up with the frustration, the helplessness, the sense of struggle in their lives. More often though they sought out coaching to get support and encouragement in manifesting a particular project and wanted to explore options and prioritise their resources. Some have come to see me because they recognised that theywere just coasting along, their lives lacking vision and passion. Others were working so hard that they couldn't enjoy the fruits of their endeavours and were seeking balance and perspective. Many others have taken the leap and employed my services because they have finally admitted to themselves that they needed loving support. The nourishing support and creativity of of an objective person through a difficult period of transition in their lives; whether it be a marriage break up, children leaving home, bereavement, bankruptcy, relocation or issues like retirement.

If you are still unclear about the change you would most like to manifest in your life take a look at the list below at some of the issues my clients have sought to address.

Can you identify with any of the following issues?

* I feel very stressed and pushed for time - I have so much to do and there's no time or space for me

* I have a good "career " but somehow I just feel I'm dragging my feet, I'm uninspired

* I want a gorgeous relationship but have lost confidence that it could ever happen

* I am just not having much excitement, fun or joy in my life - I have lost the spark

* I am not getting any younger and feel desperate about finding a man and having a family

* I don't know what's happened but my friendships have fallen away and I feel very lonely and isolated

* I can't believe how hard I have worked in life and yet still feel so unappreciated

* My relationships are suffering, especially my kids because I can't seem to balance my work with the other demands of family life

* I notice I am run down a lot and just don't feel energised, excited and positive about life

* I am not engaged in a lifestyle that touches the beauty and goodness within me

* I am getting really concerned about my career prospects because I know my age will be held against me

* I feel tense much of the time and know I am avoiding essential changes that I know deep down will serve me

* I am frustrated at not realising my dreams and ambitions and feel a growing sense of failure

* I don't seem to be attracting the right sort of men into my life and I am very keen to have a relationship

* I am having a lot of trouble with my children's behaviour and don't know what to do next

	Welcome to my Coaching Catalyst site where I hope to communicate my passion about the transformative effects of Coaching - of having someone who is on your side, period! Coaching is a vibrant, creative partnership whereby we look at what is getting in the way of you living the best life you can. The coaching process is a tremendous catalyst for change because it enables you to get clear about what you really want for yourself in life and takes a good look at what you feel you "deserve". You already have the wisdom and knowledge to answer all of life's supposed problems, in fact you are probably excellent at giving advice and empowering others but somehow you can't quite apply it to yourself. A Life Coach like myself is here to be your partner in crime - to experiment, to try different approaches, at times a role model. I will be expanding your beliefs about what is possible. Life coaching is all about looking at how you can change your behaviour and actions in the present moment so you can influence your future. It is not therapy or counselling so we shan't be delving in detail into past events and the 'Story' of your life because its far more enlightening and exciting to discover where you want to go and how you are going to get there.

	10 Ways that my Coaching is a Catalyst for Change If any of the above resonate with you I don't need to tell you that you feel frustrated, disappointed, drained and lack lustre much of the time. Of course we all go through ups and downs in life because the process of living is all about change and our response to it. We like to think we have everything under control but again and again life proves otherwise. My experience in life has proved to me without doubt that outstanding results and change can be achieved with a combination of the heady cocktail of doing and the hearty cocktail of being. Life is about balance, the in breath of receiving the out breath of giving. As you become more relaxed and at ease with yourself and the direction of your life, the more magnetic and attractive you will become. Life becomes effortless, magical. We can learn to control our re-actions to people and events and transform them into opportunities for growth, love and prosperity. I believe that my life coaching can help you do just that. 1. The coaching process will reveal incongruent values that work against you in your life and clarify what is vital and important to you. 2. Coaching with me will then get you clear about your needs and examine the different creative ways for getting those needs met in specific areas of your life. 3. My coaching will clarify the thought processes, the feelings they produce and subsequently the actioning patterns that limit or support you in life. 4. My coaching will address the fundamental issue of health and energy and look at ways you can tune into and nourish your body's natural abundant energy. 5. Coaching will assist you in developing greater self awareness in all areas of your life and thus free you to make better decisions. 6. My coaching will encourage you to acknowledge your internal resources, fully appreciating and valuing your strengths, skills and belief in yourself and your gifts. 7. As your life coach I will help you maintain your focus on the future and build a powerful and radiant vision of yourself with an inspiring plan of action to get there. 8. The coaching process will build your self confidence and self knowledge as I support you in taking greater risks and doing things differently. 9. As your life coach I will be encouraging you to think and act more creatively and playfully, bringing new passion and excitement into your life. 10. Through coaching you will learn valuable new techniques to support a more expansive vision of yourself and build inner resources that will serve you through your lifetime.

	"One of the most important things we did in the first few sessions was working out what my values were. it really seemed to clarify everything, and give me more purpose & reason for the things I do. I feel much clearer and calmer, and she really opened me up to new suggestions and widened my general outlook on life. As a consequence I have transformed my home, and made it beautiful, am really enjoying london and increased my social life and interests. I am far more proactive, confident and assertive around work and indeed my love life."Sarah Gilfillin - fashion stylist
