“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us…”
(Marianne Williamson)
Transformational Leadership/Creativity Coach
As a leader, you may have tried many different things to bring yourself and your business, or organisation into balance. Workshops, conferences, team building and many other activities. Somehow there never seems to be a lasting balance between business, family and personal fulfilment, and you feel like you are back where you were before all that effort – feeling frustrated in one or another key area of your life. Balance seems so fleeting; and so you move to the next new thing.
Andrew works with leaders from all walks of life. From parents through to the CEO of a major company we are all leaders in our own right, and we are all searching for a more balanced way of being. Research is showing that the more balanced life we lead, the more productive we are. This may go against many old beliefs and ways of doing business, but many people are finding that this new way is in fact much easier, and a much more fulfilling way of operating. This new way of doing business requires one thing : a new level of presence. This means having a greater understanding of who you are, and what your fundamental beliefs are. This is a much deeper process than personality types, or trying to change our mental process, it gets to what is at the very core of your being and why you are in a place of leadership. At this core level of self lies all of your creative energy, and the ability to connect with others in a meaningful way. These two aspects, relationships and creativity, lie at the heart and are fundamental to any business.
Creativity:
“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” — Albert Einstein
How would it feel to know that we are always creating, all the time, every minute of every day. One if the great misunderstandings about creativity is that we believe we are only being creative at certain moments in our daily life when we choose. Creativity is like breathing. We do it all the time, only sometimes we are more aware of it than others. Some of the misunderstanding may arise from the education we have. There is little space for creativity at school and we are led to believe that we are only being creative when we are being artistic. These are two very different things. As humans we cannot help but to create, when we stop creating we are dead. We create every minute of every day, all the time, all of our life. What makes a difference to us is if we bring consciousness and presence to what we are creating. When this happens, we are aware of what we are creating, and when are aware, we know we have choices in the process. Awareness of self and presence are the 2 things that keep us from understanding our creative process. It makes a lot more sense to be an aware creator than letting our subconscious beliefs and attitudes lead us into creations we may not consciously want or long for.
Working with Andrew will help foster a greater awareness and presence around this magical process that we do all the time, everyday called- creativity. We look at the mental aspect of our creative process as well as the intuitive and energetic aspects. When balance can be found between these parts of us, we can create in a more free flowing way and know that we are in fact the masters of our own creations.
A Balanced Life
The merry go round of imbalance stops when we begin the journey within.
It stops when we realise there is actually nowhere to get. Once we understand this, we can be present in the moment, which is the only place we can ever be.
This is where the truth of our story lies. It is nowhere to be found outside of us, but we carry it around all day everyday with us, in our body and energy matrix.
The journey that Andrew will take you on is an inner one. This journey will amaze you.
Everything you could imagine and hope for lies within you, just waiting and wanting to be discovered. The only thing between us and all we imagine and dream, is our old and outdated beliefs. If we can look at those beliefs in an honest and real way, then they can be transformed. It is not about putting new beliefs over old ones. It is about looking at why we believe what we do. Many of these beliefs may date back to our early years. It is about owning your own process and honouring and recognising the uniqueness of you. There really is no one else like you!!! How you balance work life, family and self is unique to you. The story you are here to be a part of is unique to you – as Oscar Wilde famously said, “Be yourself, everyone else is taken”.
Transformation happens when we allow consciousness to meet our beliefs. There is nothing to fix or change, it is simply a matter of understanding how we operate and that we are in fact creating everything in our lives already. If that is the case, we may as well create what it is we truly want!!!
Every question and answer can be found within us. All it takes is to know where to look, and what to do when we find it. No matter who we are, or what we do, if we are looking to know who we truly are then we must begin the journey within. Andrew will guide you along this journey to yourself, to greater fulfilment and purpose.
Integration
How would it feel to be alive with purpose, and to be truly doing what you love and long for??
In order to facilitate this, we need to look at all aspects of self; the physical body, the mind, our energetic matrix and our beliefs. It is the time for integration. You may have spent a lot of time and effort trying to understand the different parts of yourself, however, the problem is that these parts all work together and are greater than the sum of the parts. Integration is about having access to all aspects of self and letting the greater whole inform us as to what is needed and which way to move. This includes being grounded and centred and accessing all of our intelligence centres.
What may start as a need to find some balance in life may turn out to be the journey of your life, the journey to you.
