Make a Masterpiece of Your New Year

There have been times, many years ago, when I would look forward to the New Year as if it would be some sort of generous entity that would have brought me lavishing gifts.

Though I still tend to think that it is (ah!) I must admit that what has made a major and positive difference at the dawn of every New Year is to ask myself one powerful question:

-”What will I bring into the New Year?”

and I know, deep in my heart, that this means more than one thing.  Here is what it does to me:

  • It helps me to gain clarity on the year past: what I cherish, what I have learned, what I take away, what it’s profitable, what it’s not, what has to be changed, what can be used to empower me for the coming year.
  • In order to answer to this question, I have to make time for self-reflection. This act in itself is an opportunity to re-envision myself.
  • It makes the difference between being a passive spectator of life, or an active chooser with definite plans and goals.
  • It encourages me to evaluate how I am standing in my life today.
  • It asks me questions like:”What’s next? What is possible? How can I make things happen?”. These questions keep me alert, inspired, energized, and moving forward.
  • Once I answer these questions, I make an inventory of my own resources, natural gifts, new good habits, great structures, goals, dreams, ideas, and see what would be useful, attainable, or workable.
  • It helps me also, to keep proactive and identify possible roadblocks. This in itself, makes the roadblock “movable”.
  • The concept itself of giving value to the New Year and to consider what and how I can make it valuable, inspires me, and makes me look into the future with greater anticipation!

And if this is speaking to you in any way, or if you have anything you’d like to share on this topic, you are welcome to post your comment below. You can also write me and I will include you into the upcoming webinar to “Make a Masterpiece of Your New Year”.

Best wishes for 2012!

One Priceless Gift

Just a few years ago, I went through one of the roughest times of my life. The worst part it was to realize that I had been the cause of it. Because I had gotten too emotional (something that used to be quite frequent for me) I handled a certain situation impulsively, without thinking on the possible repercussions.

The positive side was that it made me pay attention to my reactions in a way I had never done before. I realized that I had developed negative patterns that needed to be replaced. Not only these habits were not supporting me in any way, they were damaging my life and my relationships.

Shortly afterwards I had the opportunity to study coaching. As I look back, I can see how it was just what I needed to learn to effectively replace these ingrained habits, beside the fact that it helped me translate my experience into a valuable  professional  service to others. Learning about coaching has been the best possible gift I could give to myself. Not only I do feel so much more fulfilled and happy in what I do on a daily basis, but also in who I am as a person.

With Christmas fast approaching, I want you to consider to give yourself or to somebody you care for the gift of coaching. It may be one priceless opportunity to boost your life and relationships as never before.

If you have not experienced coaching before, you can write me at info@withinyoucoach.com and you can receive a free coaching session.

Wishing you a wonderful, love-filled Christmas!

 

UNCOVERING HIDDEN DREAMS – (You Speak: Eva)

 ”Coaching changed me completely! Even my boyfriend (Tommaso) is amazed at how much I changed. Through the Coaching course I got to know myself better and learned how to not limit myself through wrong mindsets and beliefs. I learned how to capitalize on my strengths and “let them out”.

I didn’t have much self-confidence and self-esteem before but after going through the months of the coaching course, this changed, too. I am much more confident now in who I am and what I have to offer, and I value the strengths, skills and  talents the Lord has given me.

The personal Coaching sessions with Maria helped me to discover and uncover my hidden dreams, take action towards them and make them a reality!  And right now, with God’s help, they are becoming a reality!

I feel like I’m starting to use my potential and seeing the fruits of it.

Because of all this and more, I really believe in what Coaching can do and how it can change people and their lives. That’s why I want to be a Coach: to help others experience the freedom and joy I experienced through the coaching process, and to help them believe in their dreams and make them become real.

My boyfriend also went through the Coaching course and graduated recently. It has certainly benefited our relationship, as we got to know each other better.    We helped each other with studying the material and doing the assignments.

We coach each other when we are stuck with something or have a problem, and it is really helpful to have a Coach “in your own family”!

Going through the coaching course at this time of my life was just the thing I needed, and it helped me to have a complete turnaround and a new start!”

Love,  Eva

 

 

 

“Not a pill!” – You Speak: Tommaso

“I think your course impacted basically every area of my life. if i look back at when I started it and how my situation was at that time, I can see that through the studying of the principles, the practices of coaching and the personal coaching received from you everything changed in my life (location, desires and dreams, vision for the future, etc.).

One thing I am realizing is the importance of understanding that coaching is a process that takes time, not a pill you take that changes everything for you in an instant!

I am saying this because I can see that even now that I finished the course (soon I will start the academy anyway) the coaching process is still working in me and through it i am discovering more and more what direction I want to go with my life.

What I see changed in my relationship with Eva (who took the course as well) was that we helped each other a lot through coaching. We keep  on using it to help each other when we feel we need a boost or clarification on what to do in life, so I think it’s an incredible tool we have at our disposal to gain great  success.

One thing I will always remember from the course that was the turning point in my life was a question you asked me during one of our coaching sessions that was: 

                     -” If you would continue doing the things you are doing, how would it be for you in 5 years?” 

That question opened a door to me, the realization that I was not living or doing what I really desire doing and that I had to go for it and make all the changes  necessary to make my dream come true. 

Thanks to you to, Maria, for your professionalism, teaching skills, encouragement and inspiration!

A presto with the Academy!!

Tommaso “
