<$title$> Dear Reader,
This month’s theme “New Beginnings” is about fresh starts on what we want more of, and closing the door on the old that no longer works for us. As I developed my skills as a Life Coach, I began to change in subtle ways – for example, I found myself complaining less and listening more. I also began to get curious about how people create the results they get – and as I got more curious about our patterns of behaviour, I realised that some of my old “stuff” had to go.
I had to let go of –
Judgement
Impatience
Seeing vulnerability as weakness
Being right
This might seem like a lot to let go of, but what I received in return was much greater than anything I chose to sacrifice - I got happy! Knowing what I know now, I wish I’d had that New Beginning years ago!
Here’s to your New Beginnings, and a magical February from the entire Coaching Institute Team,
Sharon Pearson
CEO, The Coaching Institute

FROM OUR STUDENTS AND GRADUATES CLIENTS!!!
What we love most about what we do at The Coaching Institute, is, we not only help our students transform their lives, it goes far beyond that and the ripple effect is way beyond what we could possibly imagine. In our attempt to find out just a little piece of the difference our amazing students and graduates are making in other people’s lives, we have asked them to ask their clients if they would submit a testimonial about their coach, to us, so we can share it with you!!! This is exclusive to The Coaching Institute and this is why we are committed to excellence in Coach Training.
"Congratulations MJ, you are a star!!
Marie-Josee accepted me without judgment and encouraged me to investigate the blocks around moving forward in my career. Somewhere in the mix I seemed to lose a sense of what really drives me, what it was about my work that made me truly light up. She challenged me to be honest with myself and make difficult choices where needed. Marie-Josee has an amazing ability to help facilitate awareness and bring forward the unconscious behaviours that can drive us in a direction that is unfulfilling. Her combination of gentle guidance, encouragement, honest challenging and questioning is her gift and I feel grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her. Her intuitive capacity is what makes her shine above others working in the field. It helps to get to the bottom of the blocks, not just negotiate around them.
I now have started to implement some of the ideas we worked through together into my clinical work. I am finding a whole new set of opportunities and challenges arising which has motivated me and given me a sense of passion about my work again. I would highly recommend Marie-Josee to anyone who is seeking real change in their life."

Q: I am currently stopped at a T-intersection in my life and feel that I do not have clarity with a decision that I need to make regarding my career path. Late last year I felt that I wanted to study at The Coaching Institute and become a life coach but I have some fear that is holding me back from making the final commitment and I am not sure what it is and how I can overcome this issue.
- Kylie - Victoria
A: Being at a T-Intersection in your life can be very scary or exciting, depending on your perception. Sometimes you can get so caught up in making the right decision or not making the wrong decision that you forget to make a choice just because you can. It is important to consider the factors when making a decision, however sometimes when you get too caught up in the factors, you can find yourself attempting to predict the future or the outcome. When you can let go of the factors and make a choice right now, just because you can, you are choosing more powerfully and the choice is yours, not down to the factors. Ask yourself ‘study at the coaching institute or not study at the coaching institute, choose?’ and listen to what you say as a response. If there was absolutely nothing stopping you, then what would you choose, just because you can?
Now, lets talk about commitment, what do you make commitment mean? How are you keeping yourself small by not committing to things in your life? It is impossible to fully experience something without committing to it first. Get committed to the outcome that you want in your life and remain unattached so that you can experience freedom of movement inside of your commitments. Maybe you have been telling yourself you will have to give up something if you want to have something else, instead of asking yourself, how can I balance my life so that I can have everything that I want?
Fear is an inbuilt mechanism of life! The problem is that we as human beings often make fear mean stop or run. This is imperative to keeping us alive in life as fear is a survival mechanism. Instead of making fear mean stop, make fear mean go, except if you are in real danger. Your heart does not want to be broken so it screams loudest when it feels there is a risk. The more important something is to you, the more scary it is for your heart. So, when you feel fear, just know that it may be because something is very important to you and you are afraid of failure or loss. The fear may not go away as it is a natural emotion, so feel the fear and do it anyway!
What are your limiting beliefs about yourself and could you reach your goals more effectively if your beliefs supported you, even more? If you could not fail, what would you choose? Connect with your purpose and ask yourself, what would I like to spend time experiencing right now, in my career? If coaching is in line with your purpose and fits in with what you would like to experience, then it is a great choice for you, for right now! Fear and love are on the opposite end of the spectrum of emotions, so combat fear with love. Focus on loving yourself and others and the fear will disappear. Listen to your heart, believe in yourself and act now.

From one of our Graduates Clients! – Congratulations Christiane!
"Dear Christiane,
I’d like to thank you for being an outstanding coach over these last few weeks. I love your intuitive coaching, the way you gave me the space to figure out my thoughts and patterns in my life. You are a great listener. So many times after our sessions ended I found myself wanting to call you up again to talk some more and have more realizations, the sessions with you are addictive!
My journey, with you as a coach, has been inspiring, amusing, emotional and very rewarding – you have a true gift. Having you on the line gave me the courage to deal with topics that I had previously skirted around, and to form new beliefs and behavior patterns that have enhanced my business and personal life. Namasté!

"Was thinking of you and how great you were with our session the other day! So wanted to acknowledge you for your care, listening and being there for me. You are a great coach! I felt totally washed out, wrung out and confused for the rest of Monday! Today I feel absolutely fantastic and as if nothing can stop me at all! I cannot wait to break through whatever other things are going on and stopping me from reaching the next level!"

Congratulations to you all, we are celebrating with you – what a great achievement!!!
From one of our Students clients!
"Louise's coaching helped me out with so many areas of my life in such a short period of time! The best part is that I have gone from being 'afraid' of exercise, to being totally committed - I now train with a personal trainer a couple of times a week, and feel so much stronger and happier that I have regained control of my life. What I loved most about her way of coaching is the way that she lets you figure things out for yourself. She doesn't try to give you all the answers, she just listens and nudges you to listen to your inner beliefs.
She also helped me with my relationship with my family and managing my stress. Its not easy being a working mother of 2 young girls, but with Louise's coaching I have learnt to keep things in perspective and better manage the things around me that I have control over. I feel as tho I am a far more patient and loving Mum now!
I would thoroughly recommend Louise as a coach, she is friendly and easy to talk to - I used to look forward to our weekly coaching sessions. She will help you find the answers that are already within you!
Thankyou Louise!"

What’s So New About Your New Year?
By Paul Andrew - Innovation Coaching
What does it take to make a New Year truly “new”? Besides the date ending with 09 instead of 08 what have you personally brought to this year that is different/ fresh/ bold/ exciting?
Why not take a quick inventory right now of the following key areas as a leader, and ask yourself this one question – “What is NEW this year?”
- New Strategies (what’s new about my strategies… for business, leadership, life)
- New Resources (like people, products, or equipment)
- New Ideas (level of thinking, creativity, possibility)
- New Convictions (shaking off limitations, negativity, poor attitudes)
- New Goals (vision, direction, values)
- New Priorities (what will I focus on, and what will I let go?)
Across the world many people brought their fears and nervousness about the state of the world’s economies into 2009… aftershocks of their experiences in 2008. I certainly don’t pretend to predict what the future holds. But I think you’d have good reason to be fearful and nervous if you weren’t being or doing anything new, while still wishing for a better outcome this time around.
On the other hand, doing something new is a natural high. It is motivating. It expands who we are and what we know. It pushes us beyond our comfort zone. In fact how much we grow and change as individuals has its roots in our willingness to embrace “the new”.
Don’t let this year be a re-run of last year. Seize the day and get passionate about pursuing new things for your life and your leadership. Take the time you need to think about your direction and get clear on priorities. Carve out the space to think bigger, to set potent goals, and to get creative around your strategies.
If it’s not really a new year for you yet, there’s no better time to change that than right now.
Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul; the blueprints of your ultimate achievements (Napoleon Hill)

Coaching Corner – With Lisa Wiking
There is something about the beginning of a new year. A time to reflect on the past years, achievements and learnings, and even more, an opportunity to decide on a new dream or continue to create an existing one! What I love, is that, if you can dream it, then you can have it. And coaching is a great vehicle to help you achieve it so much faster. From designing and creating your dream board to working with your coach to create your 5 year, 12 month, 90 day and weekly goals, the more detail you go into, whilst dreaming big, the more likely you are to achieve that goal. The key to achieving your goals is to listen to your language, both internally and externally. What do you communicate to your unconscious mind on a regular basis. Regardless of what it is, I bet that that’s the reality you are experiencing right now. So if you’re not enjoying your reality or don’t seem to be any closer to your dream, check in with your language. Do you talk and think about what you do want or what you don’t want? Most people are very clear on what they don’t want, but when asked what they do want, would have no idea. If you haven’t created your ideal 2009 in your own mind, then STOP everything you are doing and get very clear about what you do want! What it looks like, what it feels like and how it sounds to you! Make sure you right it down, and stick it up in your bathroom or kitchen, somewhere, where you will see it often! Even if you stop noticing it consciously, your unconscious mind will see it every time, and will go to work to achieve it for you. Remember – there is a delay between your thoughts and words and them becoming a reality, so be patient – Thank goodness, imagine if EVERYTHING you thought about came true….!!!!!!!!
