www.XtraordinaryWomen.co.za 04 September - Xtraordinary Women Somerset West Networking Event TOPIC: Feel The Fear & Do It Anyway It's not about working harder - It's about removing the obstacles. The talk will explore the world we work and live and how to ensure that our purpose does not become busyness. The truths about fear will be revealed and you will be challenged to think about the assumptions you hold regarding your true potential. Participants will be left with 3 practical ways of how to ‘hold’ their fears from a place of self-power. About Our Guest Speaker: Angela Greyling – VisionWorx. Having been drawn to people, their behaviours and emotions, and a desire to develop individuals, Angela studied a BA Degree in Industrial Psychology at Rhodes University. Her career has included working in the distance learning environment as a Student Advisor, Recruitment Consulting, Managing teams of Recruitment Consultants, owning a Training Consultancy – Outsourced Training Solutions – and for something completely different, owning a Florist. Her interest in psychology also led her to being trained as a Life Line Counsellor and more recently completing a Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Coaching Practitioner Certification Course. Today Angela runs her own business called VisionWorx – www.visionworx.co.za. Her fascination with why some individuals are able to cope better with stress and fear than others led her to the work of Dr Susan Jeffers. Angela is now a Licensed Trainer for the workshop Feel the fear and do it anyway. All these career choices had to do with motivating, listening, developing, training and assisting people to be the very best they could be. Her 10 years management experience has given her many opportunities to not only develop individuals, but also look at the efficiencies of teams, systems and rely on tried and tested strategic frameworks to ensure that people’s strengths are aligned to a team’s mission and objectives, which are in turn aligned to the organization’s vision. The workshops that she has developed, have been a personal quest, drawn from her training knowledge, experience with people who she has managed, motivated and coached, vast sales experience and her innate desire to make things better than when she found them!

Feel the fear…
Psychological OR Educational?
“… and by re-educating the mind you can accept fear as a simple
fact of life rather than a barrier to success.”
Dr Susan Jeffers

Busyness has become our PURPOSEThe look of success versus the FEEL of success
The world we work and live in

Study on stress
The picture to follow has 2 identical dolphins in it. It was used in a case study on stress levels at St. Mary's
Hospital, London.
Look at both dolphins jumping out of the water.
The dolphins are identical. A closely monitored
scientific study revealed that, in spite of the fact
that the dolphins are identical, a person under
stress would find differences in the two dolphins.
Identical dolphins
