The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by sceptics or cynics whose
horizons are limited by obvious realities. We need men and women who can dream of
things that never were.
John F. Kennedy
A human action becomes genuinely important when it springs from the soil
of a clear-sighted awareness of the temporality and the ephemerality of everything human.
It is only this awareness that can breathe any greatness into an action.

Mindfulness enables Insights – Coaching for Action
Open Awareness and unlocking our potential for GROWTH
– an eight session coaching programme...
Life wants us to grow, to expand, and to take things to the next level; to evolve. And it has wired us accordingly. We are built for growth, expansion and evolution. Yet, growth means exchanging the old for the new – and we often find ourselves reluctant or unwilling to let go.
We procrastinate. We excuse. We postpone. We rationalise. We deny. We bargain. We ’explain away’. We resist. And life goes on as it was – without any change.
As Walt Kelly once remarked, "We have met the enemy and he is us."
This group programme is designed to support the development of an Open Awareness, liberating us from that enemy within. It will be delivered over eight weeks of two hour evening classes – with the option of additional individual coaching sessions.
What is Open Awareness?
Beyond the mind there is another world – a world of awareness. Open Awareness is closely aligned to Mindfulness as a human quality and Mindfulness practice is at the heart of Open Awareness.
With an Open Awareness we become present; once present, we become alive to many things. We come alive to our thoughts, feelings and emotions. We awaken to our environment and what is happening around us. We come alive to ourselves and the world around us.
This awareness is the basis of our inner-freedom and conscious choice. It enables us to stop tolerating what we would rather change. It empowers us to step into the life and self we want, to be who we really are – to be authentic!
Coaching as an approach is solution-focused. It offers a systematic process which empowers us to arrive at our own answers; stimulating Open Awareness is an essential part of that.
