Testimonials "Dear Sharon, Joe, Connie & TCI Support Team, A heartfelt “thank you” for a truly transformational 7 days! TCI’s NLP Practitioner training quite literally turned my life around. No doubt about it. I’ve been pain-free since I completed the course. That’s following 18 years of ‘doing’ fibromyalgia. I even cured myself of restless leg syndrome. If faced with a health ‘challenge’, I just ask myself “how am I doing this?” and presto it’s gone. Controlling my ‘state’, I discovered, isn’t limited to health. The weekend following our NLP training, I put in an awesome paddle at the Corporate Games - Outrigger Canoeing held at Docklands. Thanks to the TCI team, I’m living purposefully and with passion, creating the world I really want. My map of the world has changed irrevocably. Now to pass that gift along... In light & love," Catherine P. Rollins
"Coaching is a journey of passion, integrity, inspiration and dedication just to name a few. These values are extremely important to The Coaching Institute, its founder Sharon Pearson and her team who deliver nothing less than the values which they teach. John and I are both students with TCI and would not hesitate in recommending their training programs to anyone who is passionate about inspiring people through coaching to reach their full potential. " Julie & John Sanders
“I have 18 paying clients, my own coaching offices and I’m absolutely delighted with everything I experienced at The Coaching Institute. They have supported me, offered guidance at every step and delivered far more than I expected. Thank you TCI!”

<$title$>Dear [fullname,fallback=Reader], What inspires you or causes you to take action? What stops you or prevents you moving in the direction of your dreams? It’s easy to say “I’m busy” or “I’ll do it later”, but this will only give us regrets. So how do we give ourselves every chance to achieve our dreams? Tony Robbins says that we do more to avoid pain than we do to feel pleasure. So maybe we feel uncertainty about pursuing a dream that we don’t know we can achieve and plenty of certainty (safety) by not changing. So we stay stuck. The solution then is to make sure we link far more pain at the thought of not acting than we do to do taking action. Ask yourself what will happen if you never pursue your dream. What won’t happen if you don’t pursue your dream? Who will you not become by playing it safe? Who will you not meet, love or assist? And now link massive pleasure to the possibilities. What will happen if you act? What will you be able to do? Who will you become? Who will you meet, love and assist? And if you can’t imagine that, imagine the after-party.
Warmest regards,
Sharon Pearson

Coaching Corner Do your beliefs support you or work against you? - How do you represent your reality? Do you like your reality at the moment? If you don’t, did you know that you don’t have to ‘just accept’ it. You can make the change if you want to. With every event (large and small) that happens in our life, we assign a meaning, based on our past experiences, beliefs and values. The way we assign that meaning is through filtering. We receive 2 million bits of information in any given moment. And we can’t possibly process all of that information, if we did, we would be a puddle on the floor, we choose beliefs which work with us…or so we think . We filter all of that information down to only 132 bits of information or 7 + or – two chunks. The way we filter is by deleting, distorting and generalising information to what we already know from past experiences, our beliefs and our values. For example, have you ever had a conversation with a sibling about an event that happened a long time ago and you hear them talk about it and its nothing like what you remember. This is because you both experienced the event through your own personal truth and filters. So if you are not enjoying your current experience in life, take a look at your beliefs and values, and check to see if they support and nurture you. If they don’t, then know you can begin to experience a whole new world through embracing empowering beliefs and values. It’s not the event that makes us sad, unhappy or hurt, it’s the meaning we give that event. How can you begin to make the change? Are you aware that all beliefs are based on lies. Wow, how can I say that, I hear you ask? Well, who is the best AFL foot ball team? Is AFL a great game or is it just for yobbos? What is the truth? Isn’t it so, that if you believe that AFL is great, it’s true for you, and if you don’t it’s not true for you? Who is right? Neither or both. The beliefs each person holds, is true for them, and them only. So if this is the case, if all beliefs are only true if we choose to make them true, then shouldn’t we ask ourselves the following question? Do my beliefs serve, support, nurture and challenge me? Do they help me achieve what I want to achieve? Do they make me feel good? If not, then lets choose some that do. This means that you will be able to assign more empowering meanings to events; meanings that make you feel good. And you wouldn’t want that, would you?
Ten Ways to Lift Your Self-esteem 1. Don’t take yourself so seriously. The easiest way to feel down is to examine and think about every move you make. Instead of over anal-ysing your decisions… let it go and get on with life. 2. Think about others more. When we focus on ourselves all the time we ignore everyone else. Move your focus from “me” to “we” and notice how your world changes. 3. Change your relationship with gravity. Your mood is a function of your relationship with gravity – the down you are, the more you slump, your face drops, your shoulders sag. Change your body language to one of lightness, hold your shoulders back, lift your chin, lift the sides of your mouth :) and notice the difference. 4. Become aware of your body language. Your physiology creates your psychology. How you hold yourself is going to directly impact your mood. Change your body language and you will send a direct neurological instruction to your brain to feel more “up”. 5. Change your focus. What you focus on is what you get. If you focus on all the problems, you will feel more down. Move your focus to the possible solutions, and you will notice you feel more empowered. 6. Focus on what you can control and influence. The easiest way to chip away at your self-esteem is to focus on what is beyond your control. Choose to focus instead on what you can influence. 7. Take action. Many people live their lives wishing, waiting and hoping. Change this to Decision. Commitment. Action. When we act, we feel empowered. 8. Do something you are good at. It doesn’t matter what it is, but success breeds success. Do some things you can do, no matter how simple they are, and keep doing them. 9. Look for the good in others and tell them. When are self-esteem is low we tend to miss some magic in the people around us. Focus on at least three good qualities in others and tell them. At first it will be a little uncomfortable, but after a while you will feel the lift of complimenting and acknowledging someone else. 10. Stretch yourself. If you stay in your comfort zone, your self-esteem will diminish, because you’re not learning anything new, so you’re not growing, so you can’t experience those positive moments. Stretch yourself a little each day to do something that will lead you closer to your desired goals.
Happiness Traps By Sharon Pearson, CEO The Coaching Institute People do things that they think will make them happy – when they can actually cause the opposite. Have you ever bought something expensive because you thought it would cause you to feel a certain way? Maybe it gave you that feeling for a while, but for how long? Can you remember a time you felt genuinely happy? As you remember that time now, go back to that time, step into your body, and feel the feelings of happiness… You didn’t have to buy a thing. Happiness is called a “state” – as in, an emotional state – and any state can be created simply by remembering a time you felt it. To think that you need to buy something to feel a certain way is a lot more expensive! Other ways people think they will find happiness – Trying to resolve the past – trying to work out why we are the way we are is a waste of time, and as we rarely get any answers anyway, (except to maybe blame our parents!) it can rarely give us any lasting change in how we feel. In fact, the more time someone spends on “why am I like this” the more chance they have of getting depressed. Ruminating on what is wrong with you will get you the exact opposite outcome you want! Trying to overcome weaknesses – focusing on what we can’t do or thinking about how we could do better if we didn’t have this flaw, only reminds us of our powerlessness. Think for a moment about something you are not that good at, and notice how you feel. No matter how much time you spend on your weaknesses, they can’t make you happy. You get what you focus on. If you focus on what you think you lack, you will get more of that lack. Focus on your shyness, and you will stay shy. Focus instead on times you have spoken up and have asserted yourself and notice how different you now feel. If you want to be genuinely happy, focus on your strengths. Using destructive language – this one seems pretty straight-forward, doesn’t it? Because you would know when you were using language that was destructive, wouldn’t you? Most of us are not even aware when we are sabotaging our happiness through what we say. Words like – you should, why didn’t you, I can’t, this is too hard, I always get it wrong, I mustn’t, they won’t, why can’t they just – all of this creates negative states within us; states of doubt, blame, defensiveness, doubt and resentment. Choose your words with care, as they fire off certain parts of your brain and release chemicals that align with the feelings they trigger. If you keep thinking in negative language, you will release those chemicals into your system and then wonder why you feel down! Words such as – I love, you can, I can, we are, this is great, this has possibilities, how do we turn this around, how do we get this started, I love it when you, can we – all of these language patterns fire off positive feelings or states in our brains. Not exercising – not exercising is like never driving your car for a year and expecting it to start up first time! You’ve got to use it or lose it. If you see exercise as an obligation, rather than a joy, then think about this – exercise releases the happy chemical, endorphin, into your system. By having an analgaesic effect on the body, endorphin release results in a state of euphoria. As well as reducing pain this also aids in the reduction of stress. Due to these effects, endorphins are known as the body's "natural painkillers". Other actions of endorphins include: So would you like to know the keys to happiness?
