"I loved your dynamic approach to helping people and the way you do it with such a sense of humour"

C.C, Liverpool, UK

Feedback from "Introduction to Coaching Skills" Workshop:

"[coaching] gave me a sense of liberating freedom and I became aware that I was not living by my own conditions because I was too busy with other peoples demands and conditions. I was living in fear of rejection and judgment. I was too busy living up to other peoples expectations;

" NOT ANY MORE!"

...this past week I have felt such a difference within myself. I feel like something inside me has opened up, it's hard to describe but inside my head feels different.

I feel more conscious, more aware and a step further in the right direction to 'being'. This past week I have definitely experienced a difference in myself and feel so much more accepting of myself.

I have been thinking about myself a lot more and realize that this is 'my life' and that if I truly want to be happy then I need to be true to myself and rid myself of the 'masks' conditions and pressures and start living my life for me, the way I want."

An antidote to stress & workplace bullying:

Effective Coaching in Healthcare 


"I enjoyed the whole process of life coaching ...there were "demons" that I needed to confront regarding my relationship with my daughters.

 Our relationship is fantastic and I was beginning to think that I was jeopardising that by not being completely honest (or so I felt) ...for some reason I hold back, I feel scared.

Today I decided to bite the bullet, face my fear and tell them. ...I don’t think that I would have found the courage to do this without the inner strength that I feel that I gained through [coaching]

You helped me to remember that I am good enough being exactly what I am.

How liberating. I feel free and ready to move on with other concerns in my life. Once again, thank you for awakening this in me"

"Thank you so much for all the experiences yesterday at the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral. I had a number of 'insights' and feel now I would very much like to become a Life Coach myself.

When [we] did the role play it brought up the understanding that I have issues of procrastination in some areas of my life and this is what I want to change to move forward with the dreams that I have.

I loved your dynamic approach to helping people and the way you do it with such a sense of humour, I have spent a number of years following a spiritual path and your delivery really touches me to follow that direction. Please thank all the people on your team who helped make yesterday the success that it was."

Group Mission:

In the emotional intelligence and consciousness SIG we explore the relationship between consciousness and emotional intelligence to improve our emotional well-being, relate with one another more effectively, and deepen our understanding of our true nature.

A SIG is a 'Special Interest Group' that comes together to focus on a specific topic of shared interest to the group members. This group is open to the public. We participate through e-mail and also on a 'live' monthly teleconferencing call which takes place on the 3rd Friday of each month.

Emotional intelligence is vital to living in balance yet few people know what it is, let alone how to use it in practice. Our emotions can be thought of as 'energy-in-motion'. Once we fully understand and use the intelligence of our emotions they guide us toward healthy patterns of relating and emotional well-being. In this group we focus more on practical aspects, personal meaning, and experiential learning, rather than theoretical models and EQ tests.

Understanding the relationship between consciousness and emotions is the key to realising higher intelligence, and our own true nature. Self-awareness not only opens the doorway to emotional intelligence but deepens our awareness of multiple intelligences, our own true nature and the multi-dimensional aspects of human experience.

We explore emotions and their meaning: what messages we're paying attention to or not paying attention to. We look at the blocks, flows and results that show up in our lives.

We share links, tools, tips and resources from the field of consciousness, emotional intelligence and multiple intelligences.

If these areas interest you we would love you to join us and encourage you to participate in group discussions through e-mail and 'live' on our monthly teleconferencing call.

Warmly,

Anya Sophia Mann and Ruth Hadikin,
EI and Consciousness SIG co-hosts
