Dear Friends,
February. Valentine’s Day is just around
the corner and our thoughts are drawn to love and
romance and what we can do to attract more of it!
I believe ‘attraction’ works like a
mirror. Whatever we send out to the world and those
around us, we ultimately receive back in kind. A bad
mood or sharp remark can often result in an
unwelcome reciprocation. When we smile at someone, a
stranger perhaps, often we are rewarded with a
smile in return (even if a quizzical one). In this
respect, as we look at what / or whom we want to
‘attract’, perhaps we should consider
how we are being perceived. For example, if we want
our partners to be more romantic with us, maybe we
could think about ways to be romantic ourselves. If
we want to ‘attract’ someone who is
thoughtful and considerate, we should behave in a
thoughtful and considerate manner. This principle
applies equally to those who are single and those in
a relationship.
Therefore, if this theory is true, what
qualities do you wish for in your relationships and
what actions are you willing to take this month to
adopt those qualities yourself?
Personally, I’ll be buying my partner the
biggest box of chocolates I can find!
Take care and best wishes,
Michelle Lewis

| Strengthen Your Coaching Skills by Volunteering. |

by Angela Spaxman, Immediate Past President of HKCC
 No matter how much coach
training you have done, there’s no way to
actually learn the ropes as a coach without
practice. Of course beginner coaches can still
create great value for their clients. They have
skills and tools as well as their hearts and minds
to share. And there’s no doubt that from
whatever level they begin, they can improve
dramatically as the hours of practice build up.
Thomas Leonard, the founder of Coach U, Coachville
and several other coaching organizations, used to
say that coaches need to coach 100 people in order
to become proficient. As coaches gain more hours of
coaching experience, they become more comfortable
with their role, they develop strategies for dealing
with different coaching situations and they build a
collection of life experiences and approaches that
their clients share with them. As coaches become
more consistently effective, their confidence grows,
their reputations build and their client lists gets
healthier.

NLP - the New Technology of
Achieving Excellence
NLP is a new way of
reaching your full potential. Some describe it
as the study of excellence, others think of NLP as
powerful tools for change. NLP teaches you
the 'how' of personal development.
DD Centre is proud to present the Certified NLP
Practitioner Course 2006, the third class
since 2004. The course emphasizes more on the
‘How’ approach and on experiential
learning. You will be able to apply what you have
learnt in the same way as you learn how to become a
competent driver on the road, through learning by
doing and perfecting by practice.
To this end, the Course is
designed to -
- extend over a 2.5 month
period so that the learning will be gradual,
enabling the NLP skills to become a part of
you,
- have a high facilitator
to participant ratio, thus enabling participants to
receive maximum attention during this experiential
learning,
- be application-oriented
with numerous daily life examples. Participants
will be putting NLP to use and benefit from it,
achieving excellence and desired results
immediately,
- invite the most prominent
overseas trainers in their respective fields,
including Judith Delozier (one of
the 4 original co-developers of the NLP (Richard
Bandler, John Grinner, Robert Dilts and Judith
DeLozier) at Santa Cruz since 1975) and Leo
Angart (proficient in the field of
hypnosis, pranic healing and other mind
works,
- allow participants who
may be interested only in specific fields or areas
to benefit from the Course by taking individual
sessions; and
- have certification by Judith Delozier, for those who are
serious about becoming a certified NLP
practitioner.
How could I find out more
about this Course ?
