 There will be only one Affordable Life Coaching Workshop running in December due to the Christmas period and that will be at Tregenna Castle. Penzance workshops will resume in January.  Did you know the workshops normal dates are seriously close to Christmas?  Tregenna’s usual 4th Thursday of the month even falls on Xmas Day!

The much earlier date of Thursday 11 December at 12pm – 1.30pm has been pencilled in for Tregenna Castle .  Come along to benfit from the life-sorting-out that only coaching can bring.

This workshop is the most popular topic of  Work-Life Balance. It will be conducted without a PowerPoint Presentation and will be very interactive – which means lots of time for for discussion and for coaching practice.

The Workshop will start with a discussion about what Work-Life Balance means to people and how they’d like to get a more balanced life. An informal presentation will follow, looking at ideas participants bring for achieving work-life balance. I will also add tips from leading experts. Handouts included, as well as the opportunity to learn some coaching techniques.

An optional free Time Log can be emailed to you before the workshop  in preparation for the Workshop.

Tregenna Castle has free parking and you can also buy tea at £2.10 a pot to be brought into the room – (very civilised!).

The cost is £8 for a one-off session, or £36 if bought as a package of 6.  Credits can be used at the Penzance or Tregenna Castle venues, so you benefit from this flexibility.

 

Falmouth radio interview – SourceFM

Posted on by

The interview today Friday 7th November .

 I had my first radio interview today with SourceFM based in Falmouth.

The presenter was Andy Coote, who I met at the business breakfast meeting at Tregenna Castle, Carbis Bay, near St Ives.  He also leads the Falmouth Breakfast Meeting Club.  My slot was for 12.30pm on the 7th November.

I did research on the radio station; I made my notes yesterday and this morning, so I felt very prepared for my interview; quite exited really. Nerves had only started to surface a little on the journey over..

My husband came along for moral support, so we tried to make the day jolly and fun.  We had a cup of tea at The Falmouth Hotel first of all.  I wanted to see what the location was like to meet clients for an initial chat and I was most impressed.  In the bar area, there was lots of comfy sofas and sitting-up table and chairs in cubby-holes. Piano music was playing in the background: very relaxing (and just the right discreet level of ‘noise’ so you could not be overheard by other people in the bar area).

I was also interested/distracted by the array of High Afternoon Tea options …. (Perhaps I should call myself ‘The Cream Tea Coach’ ??)

Once dropped off to the studio, it all seemed a bit surreal. (A bit nervous)

As soon as the interview started, Andy put me at ease instantly. I didn’t think about the people in their homes/offices who may be listening to me. I just thought of me talking to Andy in this small studio.  The film ‘The King’s Speech’ (starring Colin Firth ) came to mind and all the techniques that the King’s Speech Therapist used to stop him from stuttering through a nervous condition ie swearing, (!!)

The interview was for 20 minutes and the time seemed to fly by.  I certainly was asked challenging questions as Andy is an expert in Neuro Linguistic Programming.  He knew what to ask me about coaching.

As far as I know, there’s no recorded copy of the interview, as there’s technical problems.

Here’s what I remember:

Briefly we discussed:

My Personal Development history and qualifications. What made me choose coaching?

I gave a brief background to my Personnel & Training background which started in Bristol after my postgraduate diploma in Human Resources.  How I worked in HR for some time, my first training jobs,  then my training and implementation roles I started troughout the country.  My subsequent courses that followed in NLP and then Personal Performance & Life Coaching. I emphasised my enthusiasm for Personal Development which started in the mid 1980s.

How I help my clients change their lives. (I discussed the type of people I coach who have reached a ‘crossroads ‘in their life. How the coaching process is started and what happens in a coaching session)

The tools I use to discover client’s core beliefs, ie Values Elicitation Test for career & personal relationships. Looking specifically at careers, I’d explore a person’s career history with them to discover what makes their jobs fulfilling. In a nutshell, if the results showed values such as ‘adventure’, ‘recognition’, and ‘belonging’ as being important, it is vital that these values are sought in a new job or at least in another part of that person’s life ie a hobby.

What is the DISC Personality Test about and how has it benefitted my business clients?   – I gave a full description of DISC and how it is used in personal coaching and business coaching.

In personal coaching, DISC is often used as a snapshot of someone’s personality and used for client self-knowledge, vital information for the coach to know about the client and often used as a starting point for the coaching relationship. It could be the client wishes to develop a certain part of their personality which is scoring low on DISC i.e. they may wish to develop the more ‘D’ (Direct) side of their personality, whereas they show higher in ‘I’ (influence), a more people-pleasing, fun-loving characteristic.

 

How can people with less money benefit from coaching? I talked about my Affordable Life Coaching Workshops (how they started in Penzance 18 months ago and that they are now also running at Tregenna Castle, Carbis Bay, near St Ives. I talked about the possibility of starting such a group in Falmouth). I gave examples of the topics in both locations’ workshops. See link to Coaching Workshops.

Finally I spoke about doing one-to-one sessions in Falmouth. I am currently looking for premises for this.

Win a Full DISC Personality Test at August’s affordable & empowering Life Coaching Workshop

Posted on by

DISC-Personality-Breakdown[1]

” I wish I’d known about DISC before”  – quote from myself – Stacey Halfyard

Enlightening. Very useful to know….

The next Affordable Life Coaching Group will be at Clarence House, Penzance Wednesday 27 August  10.30 – 12 pm.

Here you will have the chance to win a full DISC Personality Test.

l am an Accredited DISC Tester and I’d like to tell you a little about the DISC test.

The test is highly respected and used worldwide in recruitment, business team-building and for use by coaches for all types of coaching ie  personal coaching, business coaching.

 BENEFITS OF USING DISC – FIND OUT ABOUT:

  • Yourself and others fundamental personality traits.
  • What motivates and de-motivates you.
  • Your preferred working and social environment.
  • How you like to communicate/be communicated with.
  • Your likely responses to stress.
  • How you like to set goals.
  • Understand your own personal behaviors – and those of others.
  • Your greatest fears, and possible challenges.
  • Areas of helpful personal growth.
  • Decision making strategies (and sometimes why people decide not to decide).

The coach uses information gleaned from the report for increased knowledge about the client to enhance the coaching process.

The DISC test takes 7 minutes and from that the coach  has vital information to produce 3 graphs.

 

DISC Personality profiling Sales Benchmark Graphs

 

The information from these graphs is as follows:

GRAPH 1 shows how the client  appears to the general public  (the ‘public face’)

GRAPH 2 shows how the client reacts to stress

GRAPH 3 shows the client’s True Self, how they see themselves – that leads to greater understanding of self  .

 

The report also gives  tips on  how to get on more harmoniously with  people they may find challenging- very useful information! (I wish I’d known about this when I was younger!!)

 

The report acts as a basis for coaching – to act as a ‘snapshot’ of where the client is now and what they would like to work on ie becoming more fearless, or be more understanding etc etc

So, to summarise , Personality Tests help you understand your behaviour more and also help you get on better with people you may find challenging ie your boss, or children. The knowledge you and your coach gain from the test can also act as a starting point for change/goals etc

 
The Affordable Life Coaching Workshop on 27 August will demonstrate DISC as follows:
 
lncludes background to DISC (informal presentation)
A short DISC test with results
Coaching practice.on your results
 
The Prize Draw – to find out who has won the FREE full DISC PersonalityTest worth £30  will happen at the end of the session
 
The cost of just one workshop is £8
Or it is £36 for 6 sessions

Ring me or email me to guarantee your place.

New ideas about St Ives venue (The Metta Centre)

Posted on by

images[3]

 

I went and had a look again at The Metta Centre in St Ives and saw a room that I could use for face-to-face coaching, and for a small group coach setting.

The Metta  Centre could also be used for a drop-in clinic (where people could drop in for a  FREE 30 minute consultation)

I could rent the Metta Centre for  half day at a time, so be very flexible for my clients.

A few of my Coaching Group have said they can’t make the Penzance Clarence House venue in the day, so perhaps a monthly evening group is a good idea.

The Coaching Group is run on the following basis:

Meet once a month at a set time ie the Penzance Group meets the 4th Wednesday of the month at 10.30am -12pm at Clarence House.

We have a short ‘catch-up’ conversation about how our month has gone by (treated as a group discussion, or one-to-one if preferred).

Then I give a motivational talk based on Personal Development Topics ie Work-Life Balance, Avoiding Procrastination. A follow up exercise is then started ie coaching pair work.

I always give out handouts and book recommendations at the end of the session, followed by  goal-setting for the next month.

If you’re interested in an evening Coaching Group in a central St Ives location, please contact me stacey@incrediblechanges.co.uk  or 07985 959510
