We all have a unique power within our soul and spirit. Power is always something you bring to a situation in order to make something greater out of the ordinary situations in life. The power we bring to our daily life is the idea that we always have the opportunity to become the best that we be.
We can create abundant opportunities in all areas of our lives. We only need to reach out and ask for the help which will greatly inspire us to expand our success with tools to reach our utmost goals and aspirations in life. Sometimes, real life can become a burden, too heavy to carry all by ourselves. We are born from perfection, and we are meant to succeed in the natural design that our Creator created for us. In reality though, through growing up out of perfection from our true being and belonging, our peers and family members, our school life to adult life may become a distortion of what we believed we
were truly about.
We only learn to undue our perfection, by what other people place on us. We try to fit in other peoples shoes, and are unable to find our own place in life, by pleasing others perhaps, living outside of ourselves, blaming others for our own misconceptions of life, called our "shadow self".
Here we would like to encourage and inspire others to reclaim that lost part of your true soul and spirit, by reclaiming your own power and potential in achieving your goals and finding the true purpose of personal fulfilled and meaningful life, whether you consider yourself a leader or someone who has a special calling to make a difference in the world today.
Don't just hang in there! Become that perfect example of change that you would like to see in the world!by changing yourself!
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
As coaches, we sometimes see people "wanting" things. We live in a world of "wishing", but never seem to take the action to actually go after what we are wishing and wanting in life.
What is it that you actually want, or have, be, do or make in life? We could suggest that you could make a bucket list of your desires!
Identify those things that will add depth and personality into your life, so that over the years, this actual "intent" will manifest itself into reality for you. Find a true confidant (or coach) to help you record all the things you desire to manifest. In reality, what we choose to talk about, what we give our power to, becomes our truth, so be careful what you desire sometimes.
We learn in metaphysics, what we resist, persists!!
This is a very true statement. In order to release the old and bring in the new truth of who we are, we have to take a personal introspection or inventory, of what we are personally about..we may help you with this, it is a good beginning..
We encourage clients to categorize what the most important things on their list are, e.g...
Financial, wellness, spirituality, emotional, physical,professional, relationships.. It is important to follow up with our clients frequently just to see how they are doing. It is the client who really makes the most of those dreams and goals that come true!
Being a leader of a First Nation Band on my own reserve, I naturally have the life experiences, solid spiritual sensitivity, excellent people skills, and practical know-how which comes with the daily work experience which helps bridge people across societal sectors, genders, ethnicities, and generations, as I am reaching my sixtieth year. I love to always work with spirit, along with my wife and children.
Both my wife and I love to be a continuous cultural inspiration to other people in communities and across the world. My wife is originally from Manchester, England, and has lived and travelled across the world, having a hands-on experience living with diverse cultural needs with respect to other peoples unique rich cultural background, and speaks German also.. She brings all these experiences forward into valuable knowledge and interest in other peoples backgrounds with respect and inclusiveness. We work together therefore, bringing a valued and rich capability to encourage other people to be the best
they can be...
I have worked also with children all of my life, from diverse cultures, races and religions. I have a Diploma, and I have worked as a successful leader as a manager for kindergarten class. I love to also work with young children, to inspire and promote their capabilities, so they too, may succeed in their goals in life..
As a couple, we have been coaching people from different cultural backgrounds, due to our own history of rich understanding of diversity backgrounds. This has been a continuous interesting and empowering journey,for seventeen years now. This is our
natural gift to the world.
Everybody has a special unique gift just waiting to be discovered, however, sometimes it may take a special coach, to help in finding out what that special potential gift may be!
Our coaching came quite naturally over time, from being together as a diverse couple, and searching for our own belonging or special gift to ourselves and the world. We believe that our philosophy and understanding came from our own growth, because
when we first came together, situations were far from perfect, as, not only did we have to learn about one another, what our likes and dislikes were, but we had extreme different cultural backgrounds, yet a similar spiritual belief, which held us together..
People often ask us, how on earth we came together and stayed together after all this time? Well, we tell them, it took a lot of hard inventory from our own personal past life styles and cultural differences, to taking coaching and counseling ourselves for years, to spiritual enrichment and growth through our church together..All these personal experiences and growth, education and knowledge through the years, gave us the potential to pass this knowledge on further to others.. in the hope of encouraging and inspiring others to be their own very best through using our growth, yet in a valued quick learning experience from our own past...
People usually become quite cheerful in our presence, and look quite curious, as to how we live as one, with our 11 year old daughter, who is Metis!
We were also married before, a long time ago, when we were both young. Stephanie was married to a German fellow, and myself to a woman of my own culture for a short duration... I had only one daughter and an adopted boy who later died along with his
mother.. Stephanie had four other children with her past husband, who are now grown up and live individual successful lives..
People say that we are natural communicators, and that we have a natural polished enthusiastic outlook on life. We are non-denominational church goers, and avidly believe in Spirit and the communion with the Creator, and the Christ consciousness, which is first and foremost important to our own personal success in life.. We love to acknowledge the Creator first in our life, and ourselves, then all other people, helping people to become one with all other people, in making a difference in the world.
As family support workers in the past, both my husband and myself, have helped people move out and up into their own personal empowerment of succeeding in their goals in life. As we say helped! we mean to encourage other people to discover their own secrets to success, and most often, it is asking people what has made them feel stuck for so long.. as there are patterns to our daily life, which is usually a problem from past personal experiences in life...
For instance, both my husband and myself went through devastation, in order to move through and up and out of those shadow effects in our lives...
Leonard has now been in full recovery from alcohol for nineteen years to date, and has recovered from smoking, since his
daughter was born, now eleven years ago..helping other people find their own true sobriety and changes for success..
Stephanie had left her whole family background and childhood, when she was only fourteen years old, to discover and learn from the world, without support from other peers or family members, and had been alone, struggling for quite a while, for food and shelter and education till she met her first husband, and all birth family members died..
We all have our own personal tragedies and stories that we all learn to cope with and grow from...
We all learn the most through our mistakes in life, our so called \"shadow effect" therefore...
However, it is through our deepest and most darkest parts of our life, that we learn to grow the most....
Here we can hopefully make a difference to other people, in teaching people, through our own discovery of who we really are!!
