Testimonials
"Dear Sharon, Joe, Connie & TCI Support Team,
A heartfelt “thank you” for a truly transformational 7 days! TCI’s NLP Practitioner training quite literally turned my life around. No doubt about it.
I’ve been pain-free since I completed the course. That’s following 18 years of ‘doing’ fibromyalgia. I even cured myself of restless leg syndrome. If faced with a health ‘challenge’, I just ask myself “how am I doing this?” and presto it’s gone.
Controlling my ‘state’, I discovered, isn’t limited to health. The weekend following our NLP training, I put in an awesome paddle at the Corporate Games - Outrigger Canoeing held at Docklands.
Thanks to the TCI team, I’m living purposefully and with passion, creating the world I really want. My map of the world has changed irrevocably.
Now to pass that gift along...
In light & love,"

<$title$>Hello Reader,
How many new goals did you set at the beginning of this year? When we run training events, workshops and evening seminars, many people will set new, life-affirming and exciting goals that they want to achieve. This is fantastic, and a great first step, however…
What they do in their first 30 days of goal setting and achievement is less interesting to me than what they do ... in their SECOND 30 days.
Anything new seems more interesting, and therefore easier to focus on. It makes sense that we will take action towards the achievement of our goals in the beginning. The thing to realise is that the person who is going to achieve their goals turns up as committed in month two, and month three, and month four…
Think about goals you have set in the past and failed to achieve. When did the determination fade away and when did “I’ll do it later” show up?
Making 2007 the ‘Year to Remember’ is more than just setting some goals that would be great to achieve. It’s turning up in month two (NOW!) ready to take the next steps…
Who do you need to call?
What do you need to do?
What have you put off achieving?
What do you need to stop tolerating?
What needs de-cluttering?
What has to change?
What will it cost you if it doesn’t?
It’s when you answer questions like these that you begin to notice sustained improvements in your life. Don’t let 2007 be the ‘Year Like the Last One’...
Make a decision today to persist with your dreams...
And continue to enjoy...
...many good things
Warmest regards,

Sharon Pearson

Coaching Corner:
How to feel Calm in a Sea of “Stuff”
By Lauri-Blyth Carter
Many of us feel overwhelmed at different times – it’s normal. Sometimes a student will tell me they're feeling like they are having trouble coping. However, how would it be if you could manage your “state” so well that you could choose “calm” instead?
If you’re looking to get a “calm” result
- Prioritise – ask yourself what do I need to do next.
- Do tasks in manageable bite sizes – chunk them down and write exactly what needs to be done.
- Set deadlines you can achieve – be realistic with your time.
- Remind yourself often its only stuff – know who you need to “BE”
- Learn to choose “Calm” more of the time and reward yourself when you do!
You will achieve even more in a calm state of mind. You’ll be amazed at your achievements. Give it a go!
How to Boost Your Self-Esteem
(and why it goes down!)
By Sharon Pearson,
CEO The Coaching Institute
Have you ever noticed your self-esteem seems to go down, and you don’t even know why? Each time I hear someone share their story of low self-esteem and difficulty making a decision, I know how they feel.
Four years ago my self-esteem was at an all time low. I had no idea how I’d got myself into this place, and even less idea of how to get out of it!
It seemed the more I wished I felt better about myself, the worse I felt. I used to say to myself “I’ll make this decision when I feel better about myself.” Or “When my confidence is up, then I’ll act.”
I had no idea that those thoughts were actually perpetuating my feelings of inadequacy.
What I have learned since then is –
...the less decisions you make, the lower your self-esteem will become...
...the more you put something off, the lower your confidence becomes...
...the more you wait for the courage to act, the less it will appear...
...the more you wish you felt better about yourself, the worse you will feel...
Explains a lot, huh?
The ONLY way to boost your self-esteem is to –
- Make more decisions, and start caring LESS about how it MUST work out!
- Get over your need for absolute certainty that everything will be perfect.
- Let go of not being allowed to make mistakes! It’s okay to make a mess, just learn from the mistake and MOVE ON!
- Stop procrastinating, and telling yourself you’re waiting for “the right time”. Who are you kidding? : )
- Stop waiting for courage to turn up – courage is only needed when you act. As long as you sit there waiting for it, it won’t show.
- Stop focusing on yourself and what you think you lack... because what you focus on is what you get.
- Focus on what you can do, today, even if it scares you. If it didn’t get your heart racing, it wasn’t that important to you!
- Give yourself permission to have a go!
Finally...
If... and ONLY if... you are genuinely committed to positive change in your life...
Make a decision and act TODAY.
Whatever it is you have been putting off because you didn’t feel good, you weren’t confident, you didn’t know if you could do it, you were worried it might not work out… whatever it is that you have been giving up on achieving to appease the self-doubt you have nurtured for… how long?!... WHATEVER it is that you have been giving up on achieving…
The time to act is NOW.
You will feel great about yourself.
Your friends will notice the difference.
You will start to like yourself.
You will meet different people who also like themselves.
You will experience new things that excite you.
You will finally feel awesome self-esteem!
