Permission to Hope - Bouncing Back from Loss

“During life’s most bitter experiences we can sometimes do the most absurd things to try and make it feel sweet.”

At times of grief we can become quite unbalanced in our attempt to create a new normal. If there was ever a time a trusted coach is needed, it is in our seasons of loss. And grief is an every person experience.

Most of us live in denial of the inevitability of life’s most painful experiences. We can go through our seasons of grief in two ways, planned or unplanned, intentional or unintentional.

If we have a broken arm, we are VERY intentional about our healing process. Otherwise the break heals badly. Why would we not want to be intentional about being healed from a broken heart? Why heal badly from that and be unable to climb back to strength and contentment?

Stress Less Live More

Imagine a life of progress, peace of mind, and productivity. Give or take the occasional moments where life comes to get you anyway.

Is it possible to be competitive and content at the same time? Is it possible for us to take on challenges to become the person we have the potential to become without paying for it with something as important as our loving relationships or emotional health?

Would it surprise to find out that mostly, it’s not the stress we deliberately invite into our lives that does the most damage? There are ways we unknowingly invite crippling stress into our every day lives.

Like how we process our creative thoughts into productive actions. Like how we organize our tasks during an average work day. Like what philosophy we embrace to raise our children, and how we manage our spousal relationship. It’s amazing what we could do to eliminate UNNECESSARY stress to help us minimize it and maximize contentment.

“STRESS LESS LIVE MORE” is an every person, time flexible workshop you can include in your yearly plan. We look forward to discussing this with you soon.

Safe Church Workshop

Is it safe to assume a Church is a safe place simply because it is called “Church?” Sadly, some people are finding “bad news” instead of “good news” in some Churches. It is also wrong for people to think that only “nice” people come to Church. In the words of the founder of the Salvation Army, General William Booth, “go for souls and go for the worst”. Prisons are populated with those kind of people.

If physical and emotional safety is not a high priority for Churches, people can come looking for God and never return because they had such a negative or unsafe experience. We conduct six hour awareness workshops and three hour refresher workshops. They are stimulating, informative, affordable and well presented.

Safe Working Environments Workshop

If we are going to spend between thirty and sixty hours of each week at work, should they not be spent productively, happily and safely? It is said that people are hired for their technical skills and fired for their people skills.

The Workplace Health and Safety Act 2011 added psychological and emotional safety to physical safety as the responsibility of the employer. This raises the issues of workplace bullying and many other types of boundary violations to a distinct place of importance.

Workshops are
– Topic flexible. Organisers can choose from eleven safety topics
– Time flexible. The workshop can be made to fit the time available
– Interesting
– Informative
– Affordable

David Schaeffer is an experienced presenter who will negotiate the workshop format prior to presentation.

Bahavioural Styles Workshop

“Whoever and whatever we understand we tend to accept; whoever and whatever we do NOT understand we tend to reject.”

This is one of the great keys of life and relationships. When assisting people to identify their and others behavioural styles, we help them appreciate that different is not wrong, different is different.

In this workshop, we complete a profile that provides an understanding of themselves, their instinctive “take” on things, their reactions to change, their responses to challenges, their approach to getting the job done and their responses while under the expectation of others. As people begin to understand themselves and their workmates, acceptance of self and others rises and a more harmonious workplace results.

Increased productivity happens because people are intentional about it. A clever starting place is a harmonious workplace with employees in their niche positions. We can assist! Workshops are informative and fun.

Leadership Teams Workshop

Eric Schmidt the CEO of Google says ” One thing people are never good at is seeing themselves as others see them. That’s why they need a coach.” Specifically designed for visionaries, High Endeavours coaching assists leaders and their teams to achieve bigger and bigger goals.

The size of the leader determines the size of their endeavours and achievements. Their greatest success is seen in their successors.We inspire greater confidence so that leaders rise with the “x” factor; an abundance and overflow of personal inspiration.

We also inspire the development of leadership skills so that their passion to succeed materialises. Coaching relationships are negotiated and structured according to the needs of the client. Bill Gates says “Everyone needs a coach. We all need people who give us feedback. That’s how we improve. Our greatest success is seen in our successors.

If leaders are coached forwards, a disconnect can occur if they do take their team on the journey. The leader must buy in to the team’s progress and the team must buy in to the leaders progress. The combined impact of the team will always amount to more than one charismatic, intuitive leader.

Relationships Workshop

Have you heard the saying “opposites attract?” The other half of that statement is “then repel”. The hard work in building a lasting relationship occurs after the honeymoon, or when reality sets in. What are the phases people pass through in building a friendship?

Is sexual intercourse more powerful than verbal intercourse? What is the most important question someone can ask of the person they are considering marrying? What is the behavioural style of my soul mate or close friend? What are the key building blocks beneath successful relationships? Who do I trust with my personal life when I need help? Is it a sign of weakness to ask for help?

Every relationship at some time or other would benefit from relationship coaching. It is amazing how wonderful life is when contentment and teamwork are the hallmarks of our closest relationships. We offer quality coaching at affordable rates.
