Steve Taylor - YOUTH COACHING
When I started working with Ben he was frustrated and un-motivated, with low confidence and a lack of direction he felt stuck and bored. This self-doubt created no desire to pursue challenges and held him back from perusing the promotion he desired at work. He knew he had more potential and wanted to break out of the everyday grind. Fast forward 6 months and ben has his mojo back and has been promoted, had a pay rise and the happiness is bubbling over to every other area of his life. Boredom is a thing of the past as he is about to compete in his first Tough Mudder, a goal he could not have imagined 12 months ago.
If you want to experience the kind of change that Ben did I welcome the opportunity to be your coach.
Steve can also offer specialised training with his program …..WEBSITE LINK to your leadership program
Here is a recent testimonial form one of my clients that I coached this year through a difficult time.

“For Steve

In the few months he has coached me have greatly aided me to deal with the hardship of one of the most stressful years of my life, year twelve. Not only the workload but also the other stressful aspects of socialising with my peers, which has always been a difficult for me. Where I once dreaded walking into school and depressed sitting by myself, I left feeling sure of myself, confident and unafraid of opening up and putting myself out there. Steve helped me to realise my self-worth through me reaffirming my core values, of which I am not ashamed of. This helped me to walk with more confidence with the determination to stand up to my principals.

While doing year twelve I was procrastinating on homework a lot, and hating myself for doing so. Steve helped me realise that the tools I used to procrastinate with where an integral part of myself. Helping me regain some peace and calm after a stressful day at school through listening to music for hours. With this knowledge I can regulate it and not feel torn and pissed off with myself for doing it.

In the time he has coached me he has made my year twelve tolerable in both the workload the social aspects. No longer depressed or suicidal.

Forever grateful,”

My Personal Journey:

From an early age I have had a passion for involvement in physical activity and have always pushed the limits of my own capabilities. I became very focused on training when I was around 18 and really started to drive my development. Along the way I have achieved the following personal goals:

Melbourne Marathon 2014 & 2016 – This was my first running event and one that taught me the importance of planning and goal setting when working towards a large event.

22 Spartan races – Spartan races are an obstacle course that are conducted off road throughout Australia. Each course has obstacles along the way ranging from heavy carries to throwing spears and penalties exist for failed attempts. The distance covered, ranges from the 7km Sprint to the 42km Ultra Beast, which I am proud to say I have completed four of to this date.

4 Tough Mudders- These off road obstacle courses require teams to work together to scale and overcome obstacles. At 20km long these are nothing short of tough and require a high level of teamwork, commitment and discipline to train for such an event.

Muay Thai – Achieving my black singlet in Muay Thai in December 2017 is one of my biggest personal achievements and took seven years of committed training to achieve. The Martial arts oath and creed: Strive to excel, Never give up, Stand your ground, Be loyal and respectful, Be humble is at the core of training and is something that I have incorporated into all other aspects of my life. This has helped me become a better martial artist and a better person. I am forever grateful to martial arts for what it has taught me and continues to teach me.

Integrated Leadership & Mindfulness – Having achieved such a high level of martial arts training has provided a strong understating of mindfulness. Combine this with a deep understanding of leadership I have created unique leadership training courses and interactive mindfulness sessions that build physical and mental ability.

Deidre Dattoli - LIFE COACHING

The value of my support, told through the success of my clients:

I first met Louise at her workplace. She seemed exhausted and described feeling overwhelmed, anxious, indifferent to self-care and sceptical about how a coach could make any difference to her stress or workload. She was operating under an immense amount of pressure and just wanted to feel like herself again.

Six months on, Louise is cultivating an authentic way of being, practising mindfulness, meditating daily, clear about her boundaries and a raving fan of how transformative my support has been. If you would like to experience such powerful and radical change, I would love to hear from you.

Step up. Stand out. Lead a lit up life! You are enough

A few years back, I found myself caught in a toxic cycle of low confidence, fear and self-doubt. It was a precarious and debilitating way to exist that could only be countered by realising I was everything I needed to be brilliant. If you’re feeling lost, stripped of confidence, anxious or unable to escape self-doubt, I want you to know this: you are enough. In you resides a feminine power so strong, it can change others around you and your circumstance. You have the ability to live at your highest level yet and I’m passionate about helping you do that!

READ MORE ABOUT MY STORY BELOW

My approach: exposing old stories

It makes a radical difference having someone on your side to guide you into discovering how exceptional you are. You only need one voice to challenge the stories you’ve always believed: that to be accepted you have to fit in; that you’re not smart or capable enough; that you’re not attractive or strong; that you’ll always be overlooked. Sound familiar?

As a coach and mentor, it’s a privilege to help you tap into and align with your authentic nature; to be part of the moment when it finally clicks as to how potent that is. To lay bare the false convictions that have led to wearing masks and equip you to operate without compromise at any level. That’s the secret to stepping up, standing out and leading a lit up life.

Ready to burn bright?

MEET DEIDRE

Growing up I really struggled with identity …

I truly believed that to be accepted I had to become like everyone else. At the time, I never understood that to conform meant sacrificing everything I was. It led to a lot of poor choices as a teen and angst that matured well into adulthood.

Years later, I entered the corporate world and found the male dominated environment deeply challenging. I was plagued by a sense of being incapable and unworthy of occupying a leadership position, which initially kept me from contributing. Now, more than ever, we need women in positions of leadership.

And yet a New York Times study shows that when people are asked to draw a picture of a leader, both men and women almost always draw a man. It’s a sobering result, but one that makes me even more determined to help women step up and stand out.

It’s what fuels my passion for coaching and mentoring. I’ve since coached many women who have carried the deep wounds of their teens, and seen the adverse effects that’s had on their minds, spirits and emotions. It doesn’t have to be this way—I’m proof of that.

I’ve evolved from being stuck in a career that led to feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, stressed and unhappy, to being authentic and replenished in confidence and strength. I’m equipped to choose something more aligned and true to who I intrinsically am. I’ve changed my life and have been able to influence other women to do the same.

Now, I’m on fire to support you to step forward and become all you can be. When you’re connected to yourself, living a more intentional life tapped into your power, you can ignite, enable and uplift everyone around you and effect change for the better.

Angela Kilkenny - Life & Spiritual Coach
Coaching with me entails going deep and getting a transformation. I will reflect back the possibility that has led you to coaching and I will believe in you, until you so rock solidly believe in yourself. I live for the moments of helping a client find a block and process it, leading to a whole new level of confidence and worthiness.

Trained in Human Design, I can help you find your innate strengths and unique gifts and talents – things you may take for granted or have never explored; together we will use these to help you find your purpose and live as authentically you. Through coaching, we will co-create a life you will be busting out of bed to live each day!
I enjoy working with professionals looking for fulfilment and purpose, small business entrepreneurs, stay at home mums or just anyone going through a huge life transition or rock bottom – basically women who WANT MORE.

I hit my own rock bottom over 10 years ago, going through an International divorce and custody case in Istanbul, Turkey. After being essentially ‘stuck’ in Turkey, I pulled myself together and escaped with my baby son, after all other avenues failed me. Coming back to Australia, I took back my power and control over my life and rebuilt every aspect, healing myself along the way. I wrote a book about my experiences and lessons, No Going Back (https://www.allenandunwin.com/browse/books/general-books/biography-autobiography/No-Going-Back-Lisa-Kennedy-9781760406998)

I’m now passionate about helping others to create their dream life, and I’m just obsessed with all things personal development, psychology tools, manifestation and spirituality and I bring all this knowledge and passion to our sessions.
