You’ve given Christmas gifts to many others recently. Now it’s time to give a gift to yourself. Join an inspirational coaching group that is starting in just a couple of weeks! First of all, you may be wondering what exactly life coaching is. This is how the media has described it:

Coaches–they’re part therapist, part consultant, and they sure know how to succeed
“Part consultant, part motivational speaker, part therapist and part rent-a-friend, coaches work with managers, entrepreneurs, and just plain folks, helping them define and achieve their goals — career, personal or, most often, both.” ~~~ Newsweek, 2/5/96

“Coaching is an action-oriented partnership that, unlike psychotherapy which delves into patterns of the past, concentrated on where are you today and how you can reach your goals.” ~~~ Time, 10/16/00

“Who, exactly, seeks out a coach? Winners who want even more out of life.” ~~~ Chicago Tribune, 12/17/00

“Soon a coach will be seen as someone you have as a matter of course to make your life run efficiently, like an accountant.” ~~~ Sunday Magazine, The Sunday Telegraph

Each week for 8 weeks we’ll meet for 75 minutes.   You will be given strategies to determine just what makes your ‘heart sing’ – where your passions lie – and create ways to put them into action to create the life you want, and to make a difference in your own life and in the lives of others.  You will identify and remove barriers that currently hold you back.  You will be surrounded by a supportive group that will cheer you on.  Statistics show that people who have support, including attending group meetings, do better than those who don’t — 100% of the time!

We will meet by teleseminar so we will all be on the phone together at the same time.   This way you have no travel involved and can participate from the comfort of your home or office.  Long distance charges may apply.  Calls will be recorded so if you need to miss a class, you can listen to it later at your leisure. 

Imagine your life being more magical, more meaningful, more fulfilling. Yes, you can have that life!

By participating in the program you will:
* discover what matters to your heart (your passions)
* identify your values
* learn about the Law of Attraction and how to use it to create your ideal life
* find out the secret of how to have the life you love
* uncover barriers and patterns that have been holding you back and getting in your way
* learn strategies to overcome these obstacles
* create an environment that supports your dreams
* become more confident in pursuing the life you love
* develop more direction and focus
* find ways to put your passions into making a difference in the world
* be inspired by others creating the lives they love
* get feedback from a life coach and others in the group who are going through the same thing you are

To be eligible for the program you must be committed to creating the life you love, participate in the full program, be willing to chat with your assigned buddy at least once a week between sessions, take full responsibility for your results, be coachable (in other words, open to new ideas, viewpoints, and ways of doing things), be willing to take action, be supportive to others in the group, and want to have fun!

Money-back guarantee: To be sure this program is a good fit for you, there is money-back guarantee. If, at any time within the first 2 weeks you decide it’s not for you, you can withdraw and receive a complete refund.

In the future this ‘Create the Life You Love’ group coaching package will cost up to $350 but as a New Year’s introductory special, it is being offered at half off for only $175! In addition, if you register by Monday, January 15th you will receive the early bird special of a further $30 off so the price will be just $145!

If you’d prefer one-on-one coaching, either in addition to the group coaching or instead of group coaching, please contact me for details at merna@impactwithheart.com.

Invest in yourself and your future now! The ‘Create the Life You Love’ group coaching program will have limited spots so that the group remains small so register now before it fills up. And remember – the cost is only $145 if you register by Monday, January 15th. If spots are still available after that date, the price goes up to $175. The program starts Monday, January 22nd and will run 8 consecutive Mondays from 7 to 8:15 pm MT (Mountain Time, which is 2 hours behind Eastern Time).

Let 2007 be the year that you really live, and not just exist! Go for it — create the life you love!

The following is an excerpt from January’s ‘Impact With Heart’ free ezine newsletter:

This is usually the time when people reflect on their lives, think of how they would like to make them different, and create some corresponding resolutions. Usually their resolutions target some specific behavior (diet, fitness, smoking) and unfortunately rarely make it past January.

This year, I challenge you to make resolutions that will affect all areas of your life – such as:

The attitude YOU want that will serve you best and not based on what others expect, or is imposed by them.

Just over 2 years ago my Mom moved from her home in Edmonton, Alberta (same house for 50 years!) to the west coast of Canada in Victoria, BC, where she knew only my sister and brother-in-law.  She moved to a seniors’ residence and before going, people repeatedly said to her “I hope you like it there”.  My Mom would matter-of-factly answer “I will! I’ve
already decided”.  When I was visiting there for Christmas, I heard someone ask if she liked living there.  Again, her answer was “Oh yes!” and then added “but I decided I would before I even got here”.

What kind of experience do you want in your life? In general, or perhaps in a specific situation, or with a specific person? Choose the corresponding attitude and then that is the reality you will create!

Sounds strange?  Let me share a couple of examples to demonstrate how this works.

Again to my Mom…on her first day at the seniors’ residence, the manager came to welcome her and asked when she would like to go down to the dining room for dinner.  Since my Mom didn’t know anyone yet, the manager said she would arrange for someone to have dinner with her.  My Mom, again in her matter-of-fact way, said “Oh no, you don’t have to do that.  I’ll just go to the dining room and find someone who looks lonely and like they’d like someone to eat with, and I’ll sit with them”!

Another example is my good friend Sus.  She was feeling down one day and needed cheering up.  Instead of waiting for someone to do that for her, she picked up the phone and ordered a beautiful bouquet of flowers to be delivered to my door!  She said after sending me the flowers, she felt much better.  It is definitely true that what we give out, we get back.

Australian Juan Mann is another great example of this resolution.  A short video on him and his free hugs has been passed around on the internet for many months now, so you may already know of him.  See the video here.

Even if you’ve seen it before, watch it again – it’s only a few minutes long and will leave you feeling better and inspired!

We’ve all felt the impact from others. Instead of passively being affected in ways we may not want, be the impacter!  Decide your attitude, choose what you want in your life and take action!
