Separation of ourselves from others – whether it be individuals, groups, communities, countries – can mean we miss out on so much growth, getting things done, fulfillment and so much more.

Yet, many of us are ‘taught’ to remain separate as a consequence of beliefs and behavioural habits, which we learn from our family, friends, communities, culture and experiences.

This desire to be separate from others often comes from a place of fear. This includes fears such as connection and getting hurt...

This newsletter message is in memory and in dedication to Avril Baxter – an inspirational coach and a beautiful soul who passed away from Leukemia a few weeks back. Her strong message for all us is to live our life fully, seize the opportunities, appreciate what we have and treat ourselves and others kindly and with love.

Avril planted a seed many years ago that ultimately led to the creation of Empower World: a coaching, facilitation and coach training and mentoring organization established ...

As a coach, you maybe really enjoying the one to one work and difference you are making in people’s lives. Do you also wonder if there are better ways to reach the people you serve? Do you sometimes feel totally stretched and wish you could clone yourself to create a more effective and a desired work/life balance? And/or do you wonder if there are more efficient and successful ways of earning income?

These are questions we at Empower World and many coaches we know ask themselves as they conti...

At Empower World, through our own experience and from supporting the hundreds of people we have coached and trained, we understand the frustrations that can come with not having the skills and tools to support ourselves and ...

Do you find your struggles in life often come from judging yourself and/or others? As a coach, do you find your clients struggling with comparing themselves to others, or perhaps struggling to fit in? Or maybe your clients feeling their identity is threatened by perceived differences of others.

It can sometimes be easy to look through a lens of differences when interacting with other people, especially in an expat community. Noticing differences instead of the similarities can create disconne...

Do you struggle with perfectionism?

Whether it be the attempts you make to be precise or expecting others to be perfect in every way?

Are there people in your life, who can’t live up to your expectations, who are driving you mad?

Striving to be perfect or looking for perfection in others has a different kind of energy versus when we are simply seeking quality or excellence. Perfectionism is often born out of a fear of not getting things right or a fear of failure. It can also come from a st...

Do you sometimes feel you are drifting along the winds and tides of life going nowhere? 

Do you find it difficult to make decisions – pulled in different directions?

Do you think something is missing in your life, or do you know what is missing but don’t know how to ascertain it?

If so, you or your clients may be experiencing a lack of clear purpose and/or truly knowing and taking action on your purpose in your everyday life.

When we can identify our own purpose in life – no matter how sim...

And as a coach, are you hearing your client’s conflicts in relation to their desires and goals? Are you noticing your clients are connected to a dream and focus, yet they keep defaulting to o...
