Knowing Yourself to Understand Others

Have you ever heard the saying 'to understand another person, first you have to walk a long way in their shoes'.

Well, yes, to a certain extent there is something in this. It means that you need to feel what being the other person is like to be able to relate to their experiences and feelings.

Beware, however! You may find that walking a few miles in someone else's shoes will damage his shoes and also hurt your own feet.

So, before walking in another person's shoes - look at your own feet first.......

Energy Reach

Well, it's Sunday night and it's been a pretty packed weekend. We've finally caught up on a lot of gardening and it feels so satisfying to see the results!

I know the weeds will come rushing through again, especially with the changeable weather we're having, but it was great being outside soaking up the sun while doing the gardening.

The only problem is that I know feel exhausted after so much physical work (while not being very fit!). At times like this I use a NLP techniques to re-energise myself and thought I would share this with you.

It only takes about 3-5 minutes and is a great exercise to do every morning to ensure that you've got bags of energy to carry you through the day.

Here goes:

• Stand tall and stretch your arms out above your head. Reach as far as you can.

Imagine that your body is being pulled up from the top of your spine by a very strong silken cord.

When you feel that you have stretched as far as you can, stretch just a little bit more - you always can! Feel your body strengthen and lengthen. While you're doing this, remind yourself of all the great goals you're reaching for. Maybe it's the promotion you want; the new job; the improved relationship; a great physique - you name it!

Hold the position for about 20 seconds and then release. As you release breath out looooonnnnnng and slow.

Repeat two more times or for as many times as you like.

I find this exercise really energising - I hope you do too!

Have a great week.

Take Action..........

A wise person once told me that, in every person's life, there is a moment when the awareness of their destiny bursts, like a bubble, onto the surface of their conscious mind.

At this moment, people who are weak tend to make themselves busy with the day to day mundane tasks of their lives. They avoid the realisation of what has happened.

Conversely, when this happens to a strong person, they awaken! They decide to take what action is needed to change the world for the better. After all it's their world as well! By doing so, they secure for themselves their rightful and valued place in the history of humankind............

Take action now!

Moving away from the Conditioned Mind

Have you ever heard (or even said) something like ‘he’s in his own little world!’. I heard this the other day while sitting on a train on a business trip to Paris….. not a bad place to do business!

I’ve heard it myself dozens of time and even said it. But this time, it got me thinking that each one of us lives in our own unique world, really. The way we perceive and experience things are unique to us and no-one else. We are conditioned by the way we grew up, by the values and beliefs we develop as part of our environment (people and things), by the limitations we were given or adopted, by the emotions we experience, by the attitudes, and opinions we experience. So you see, this conditioning affects everything we do and our every outlook on life. It’s a kind of distortion, similar to looking through a curved window.

With over 6 billion people in the world, that’s a lot of individual worlds and a lot of curved windows!

The effect on our Potential

This conditioning, the way in which we see things, makes us believe that that’s the way things are, and has an effect on how we perceive ourselves. As you can imagine, this distortion can have a huge impact on whether we are able to reach our maximum potential.

Recognising this effect is a huge first step to being able to make any changes necessary to break through any barriers (or distortions). We can now start to see things in a different light. We start to understand the impact these beliefs, values, emotion, attitudes and opinions have had on our own decisions and why they have often felt incongruent to us. When this happens a phenomenal thing happens. Things click into place. Any anger that we experience starts to drift away because we now understand why we feel angry – we understand that the conditioning has distorted our views. Our experience of life improves, and keeps on improving!

We are able to shake off the shackles of our conditioning and continue to grow and improve – to reach our maximum potential. It might seem a bit frightening at first because it’s sometimes easier to stay as we are, to continue to accept our conditioning and all of the limitations that it holds for us. There’s an element of security in that conditioning.

But if you want to make changes in your life, take advantage of this learning. Recognise that you have the power within you to Be MORE – Do MORE – Achieve MORE.

We all have within us the potential to be our very, very best. We just need to take a little bit of a risk now and then to step outside of our comfort zone and to experience the freedom it can give us.

Take Action

1. Look at areas in your life where your perception may be distorted by your conditioning and make a list.
2. What one thing can you do today to change the effect the conditioning has had on you?
3. Be bold – be adventurous! Make the change today, and tomorrow, and every day after that. It only takes approximately 21 days to change a habit.
4. Then come back to this blog and share your experience with us.

At Quantum Coaching and Consulting we work with people to help them understand and re-evaluate their conditioning, so that they are able to make lasting changes. If there’s anything that’s holding you back, give us a call to see how we can help you help yourself!

To start with, however, we’d like to introduce ourselves so that you can get to know us:

My name is Eve Grace-Kelly, and I’m the Managing Director of Quantum Coaching and Consulting Limited. The other founding member is Vinden Grace.

We are qualified Life/Personal and Business Coaches.

Eve: In my career to date, I’ve worked for some of the leading blue-chip companies in the world (Fidelity Investments, NatWest Life, Legal and General, National Power, Lloyds Bank, Glaxo SmithKline, Northrop Grummon, EUROCONTROL, Sainsburys, KPMG).

I’m told I’m a natural entrepreneur (my mind’s always brimming with new ideas – I sleep with a notebook and pen beside my bed for those moments when I wake up with more ideas!), and together with my husband, Vinden, we set up and ran our own IT recruitment company and management consultancy. As such, we’ve got first-hand experience of the types of challenges faced by small and growing businesses.

I’m truly passionate about the benefits that coaching can bring to people from all walks of life. Having a 'can-do' attitude, I like to inject enthusiasm into my clients and give them the confidence needed to achieve what they want out of life or their career. I definitely 'walk the talk' and believe that we all have the ability to unlock our true potential.

Vinden: Vinden is a keen academic, successfully graduating with a degree in business studies (from Warwick University) and a master's degree in computer information systems (Boston University). He definitely shares my entrepreneurial spirit! He has great empathy with small business owners and the types of challenges they face. Having recently developed an online membership site, he is at the cutting edge of internet business development.

Vinden is a strong communicator and his unique ability to adapt has helped him build strong relationships within diverse teams across various organisations.

We also have a number of associates in various specialisations that we call upon depending on the needs of our clients.

We all look forward to blogging for you about personal and corporate coaching, and giving you great tips and techniques in how to get what you want out of your life.

Have a great day,

Eve Grace-Kelly
