The pressure for women to have it all is immense – not least of all because we put that pressure on ourselves. Let's look beyond those 'impossible' role models: Wonderwoman is a fictitious character, Nigella Lawson is a domestic goddess, but her grief-filled life could be from the pages of a Greek tragedy; Cindy Crawford was a supermodel and manager of her successful fitness and beauty empire – who was chastised on the catwalk for 'cellulite'.
But there IS a real role model to aspire to: you – only the more balanced, fulfilled, healthier, empowered, energetic version of you. The Life and Business workshop gives busy professional women the tools to manage career, home, relationships, health and finances – oh and of course, 'me' time. It focuses on accomplishing goals and turning dreams into reality.
The workshop helps you unearth your true values and shape your life by controlling every decision you make.
Why is it we can make the commitment to sign an employment contract, or a 12 month gym membership, or mortgage agreement but not make the firm commitment to change the quality of our lives? Because it's more difficult? Wrong. The first thing to do is sort out priorities – and the Life and Business Workshop helps you see how undaunting and liberating a task it can be.
Women who give the appearance of being successful and in control often battle with the age-old struggle between home and work, making money and falling into debt, losing and gaining weight, finding and maintaining relationships.
Sounds familiar? Do you honestly know where you want to be in five years' time? And do you know how to get there? If you don't know the route to take, you probably won't make it to your destination.
The Life & Business workshop will challenge and stretch you beyond your usual comfort zones, whilst providing a safe place for working on key issues in your personal and business life, tapping wisdom you may not even know you possess. This workshop is also unique in that it provides two follow up coaching sessions so you get the support to make sure things happen.
Coaching contains elements of goal setting, business advice, communication work, and yet it is more than this too. It's like having someone who encourages you to get the best for yourself. Top athletes and sports stars need a coach to improve their performance, to support, encourage and believe in them on a regular basis. Similarly, businesswomen choose a coach because they want their careers, health, relationships and finances to be more successful, more balanced, more fulfilling. They want this with a plan and accountability that will work, for them.
