WELCOME TO THE

Conversations for Power
and Possibility

COACHING PROGRAM

As I write these words our world is in a state of great upheaval. Politically, socially, economically and technologically, everything is in a state of flux. In times like these it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, at the mercy of forces beyond our control. But you are more powerful than you know. And times of great upheaval are also times of great opportunity.
The secret is to be clear about what you want, strategic in where you direct your energy, creative in your thinking, and connected to the people, places and activities that keep you strong and centred.

Conversations for Power and Possibility is a four week, small group coaching program designed to help you do just that.

This program is tried and tested. It has a track record of helping individuals and teams navigate challenging circumstances. If you engage fully, at the end of the program you will find yourself more clear, strategic, creative and connected than you are right now. As for what you may create from this place, the possibilities are unlimited.

About the Book

Conversations for Power and Possibility

Four Conversations to Transform Your Life and Change the World

This is a hopeful book. It’s about finding new sources of power when you feel powerless, and new possibilities when you feel boxed in. It will help you choose a creative response to any challenge that arises in your life.

Bad news, negative people and the pile up of one thing after another can create a downward spiral that drains your energy, shuts down your creativity and leaves you feeling confused and powerless.

The Conversations in this book will help you focus on what you want, reconnect to your strengths and resources, explore new perspectives and find new possibilities for productive action.

They will help you create real positive change in your life.
