New Season, Renewed Opportunities
Greetings,
Overlooking the cityscape and the surrounding greenery from my Vancouver office, I notice signs of vitality showing up in a nearby maple tree. Along with this transition into summer, I am reminded of the transitions that typically occur in human lives while we travel through time.
On the personal level, transitions are the bridges that enable us to expand into a greater breadth of potential and opportunities. At these intersections, we are presented with new choices on the spectrum between growth and protection, or fear and love. Many factors come into play to direct how we chart our course: perceptions, attitudes, beliefs, expectations, and the particular developmental stages of our life are intricately woven in the background of our choice of direction. As an NLP practitioner and coach I am constantly amazed at the effectiveness of the tools provided in this approach to place my clients in the driver’s seat of their life by releasing the sabotaging baggage of their unconscious mind. Then, they get to decode the map towards summits of excellence as they move through their fields of endeavors.
One of the major life transitions that have come into the foreground of my professional practice is the one that occurs after mid-life: retirement. According to research in this area, many people experience a disorienting and anxiety provoking period around that time especially if they have equated their personal identity with their professional role. As more and more people are doing what it takes to remain vibrantly alive in their longer life expectancy, a new paradigm of retirement is arising.
This new model represents a shift from constricting areas of involvement to expansive and deepened interests that serve as a springboard for actions. This is about designing your next 20 or 30 years according to who you have become, how you will keep growing and the future you want to shape for yourself and others. As you approach this part of your life, will you move towards growth and love or protection and fear? The choice will be yours and your life will literally depend on it.
Until then, where ever you are, I hope you enjoy the effervescence of summer. Let its vitality surge within you on your journey to new exciting possibilities.
Wholeheartedly,
Isabelle.
Important info regarding insurance coverage
One of my clients has recently received a partial refund for my coaching and consulting services from her extended health insurance. That is because of my background and credentials, which render some of my services eligible for services covered by the extended health plan of some companies.
If you are interested in coaching please let me know if you have extended health coverage and I can assist you in the inquiry to see if my services would be covered by your plan.
Inspirational Moment:
In the spirit of celebration, while you strive to live in balance, I hope you remember to:
Sing the lyrics in your Soul
Dance to the rhythms of your Heart
Live in the music of your Destiny
Isabelle St-Jean
For a touch of humor on the ability to suspend disbelief:
I can believe anything provided it is incredible.

Over the Horizon: Upcoming Events:
In the next 2 months, I will devote some time to R & R, new program design, web site update, etc. to get ready for a busy fall ahead leading seminars in organizations and coaching.
I also plan to lead the Beyond Retirement; Writing the Next Chapter of your Life Seminar in late October. This is an illuminating and stimulating seminar on non-financial aspects of retirement planning. The exact date, location and details will be provided in the next newsletter (end of August).
Meanwhile, take a moment to look at my website for the new keynotes and seminars of transformative personal and professional development. |
