Happiness: Causes, Consequences and Coaching

Are you happy? Are your clients happy? Happiness is a state of mind that has very little to do

with your personality or external circumstances, and more to do with the way you have learnt to

view the world. Happiness doesnt just happen to us - being happy is a skill which can be taught

and which can be learnt, but like any new skill, learning to be happy requires practice and

perseverance. Do you and your clients dare to be happy?

The Happiness Special Interest Group brings together coaches who are interested in the science

of happiness and positive psychology, and how we can apply it in our coaching practice and to

our own lives. The group will share happiness and positive psychology tools and resources,

practice happiness and positive psychology techniques and strategies, and will be required to

have fun - after all, happiness is contagious! The first meeting will provide an opportunity to tap

into insights from the forthcoming Happiness and its Causes conference, as well as allow

participants to determine how the group will operate in the future.

Date: Wed 26th May 2010 Time: 5.00 -7.00pm Venue: Function Room, Robin Hood Hotel, 315 Portrush Road Norwood RSVP: By 21st May to josaies@pbperformance.com.au Cost: Gold coin donation

PLUNGING INTO PURE POTENTIAL THROUGH THE SHAMANIC JOURNEY

WHAT IS THE SHAMANIC JOURNEY

Shamanism is a spiritual practice and system of healing whose origins can be traced back to the

dawn of recorded history. There is much mystery surrounding shamanism; however the core

shamanic experience is very simple, timeless and universal. The shamanic journey consists of a

collection of uncomplicated techniques for accessing creativity, power, healing and vision and

much more through entering an altered state of consciousness.

Please wear comfortable clothing, if you have a drum bring it along. In this first meeting we will

be journeying to meet our power animal.

The Art of Mindfulness

Mindfulness is an ancient practice which is increasingly being embraced by Western psychology.

Mindfulness involves consciously bringing awareness to your here-and-now experience with

openness, interest and receptiveness. Its about waking up, connecting with ourselves, and

appreciating the fullness of each moment of life. It is a profound way to enhance psychological

and emotional resilience and increase life satisfaction. Professional coaches are increasingly

recognising that developing mindfulness skills is an effective way to improve performance,

reduce stress, enhance emotional intelligence, increase personal life satisfaction and expand

leadership capacity.

In this session will be an interactive session where you will experience some mindfulness skills

to:

. improve focus and concentration

. increase self awareness

. reduce the impact and influence of stressful thoughts and feelings

. become aware of self-defeating thought processes, and 'let them go'

. facilitate better relationships
