Darkness & Light February 26, 2007

I once heard someone articulate the definition of Darkness…simply put…”Darkness is the absence of LIGHT”. And how true the definition was, I thought. This was also evidently scripted at the start of the World’s Top Selling Book (the Bible), in Genesis 1:2-3…”Now the earth was formless and empty, Darkness was over the surface of the deep…And God said, Let there be Light”.

WOW…what a Light Bulb Moment that must have been for the entire earth…for mankind.

Yet today, many people live in Darkness. Now this Darkness manifests itself in many ways and forms; sometimes it is the way of life we have chosen, other times it is related to hurtful events of the past that has not yet been erased / resolved in our hearts and minds…still other times it is a hard habit or attitude we’ve accustomed ourselves with. Being aware of these conditions can lead us to take the 1st step towards…”coming out of the dark”.

In the Coaching sessions, the Coach will help the Client to unwrap and unravel the areas of life in which the Client IS Prepared to Release and Put Behind. In these precious moments, a new bud is taking form and soon behold a new flower is birth…

Are you ready to Take a Step Forward? Are you ready to Allow the Light to Shine?  

Perspective…Anew February 22, 2007

An elderly man was looking at a picture intensely at an art gallery when a young girl stood beside him and asked, “what are looking at sir?”….The man replied after a short pause “eemmm….this is a masterpiece…look at the multiple dimensions…the smooth and aligned brush strokes here that creates this soothing feel of flowing endless stream….and the mood of the overall sky…its surreal”…then the young girl whispers to the elderly man, ”Sir, you ARE looking out from a window frame of this hall room and into the paddocks of our own county…”

Perspective is “a way of looking at, or interpreting a particular situation”. Your Perspective determines your experience in life…not your circumstance (and I believe its not vice versa). So…what are you really looking at? or what are you really looking out for?

Are you the type that sees 1/2 a glass of water…Half Full or Half Empty? Some might even say the following; “Who drank my Glass of Water?”(accusingly)…or “Who left the half glass of water in the sink without washing?”(angrily)…or “Can I offer that someone a top up of cool refreshing water?”(lovingly).

Whatever you are faced today, there’s always another side of the coin…or positively saying it; there are more coins that you can toss yet again (i.e.: more ways of looking at a situation). Yes…it’s simply your choice of Perspective that you wanna accept or consider.

So what’s your ”Perspective” today?

What is Coaching? February 19, 2007

People come to a coach for many reasons. But firstly…what is coaching? Coaching covers a wide spectrum and even though its new…there has been some confusion.

Is a Coach…a Therapist, Counselor, Psychologist, Mentor, Advisor, Doctor (a.k.a. Dr. Phil)? Actually none of the above. Why? Because the Coach is NOT the Expert (in this context) to Provide a Quick Fix or Best Remedy for the issue at hand. Heck, it’s not about the Coach…it’s ALL about YOU!!!

Coaching will allow YOU to….clarify your values, enlarge your vision, establish your goals, develop your action plans, define and rearrange your priorities, defeat your fears/giants and much much more.

Through weekly coaching sessions a coach will listen, ask powerful questions, offer new insights whilst help you create new perspective and action plan/s. As you focus, a coach will help you discover your Dreams and unlock the Greatness inside YOU.

Are you ready for Coaching?

Dream??? February 13, 2007

Do you have a Dream? Perhaps of something you wanna achieve…or an ideal you wanna experience in your life…Where are you currently with that Dream? Has it gone into the-not-so-important-closet or as we say it, in the back burner.

Dreams are Important…Dreams are Essential…Dreams are Powerful…but Dreams are just Dreams if they remain…”Just a Dream”. I remember the great slain voice from the past…

“I have a Dream…” – Martin Luther King

Sometimes I think about what Martin Luther mentioned and what-if…he did NOT stand up to believe in that Dream…what would America be like today?

At Dream Vision, we are passionate to believe YOU can make a difference…all you have to do is to take the bold step forward and start to…DREAM.

A Little Something About Me… February 8, 2007

I’m currently living in Melbourne, Australia. I’ve been in the Corporate World for over 13 years working for MNCs in the area of Marketing and Business Development. These years I believe have been formative to where I’m at now…and still I feel its only the beginning. In 2005, I decided to take a change in my career path and become a Life Coach. WOW…that move was difficult but looking back, it’s probably the best decision of my life!

What about you? Have you made difficult decisions that seemed impossible at that moment in time? Think about it…
