Well, we are delivering another Health, Wealth and Charisma event on 7th February 2009 so that's in my diary to work towards filling the seats.  Today I'm catching up with Admin i.e. paying bills!  I've already planned my diary for this week, which is looking fabulous as there's quite a lot of networking i.e. meeting business associates for coffee, which is one of my favourite pastimes.  I have a few phone calls to make later and a book to write!

Yes I have decided to write a book about creating Health and Well-being, Noelyne's way.  There it's out now and you are one of the first to find out about it.   Now that I have told you I am committed as I expect you to  keep an eye on things and check in with me every now and then to make sure that I am on track.  I have no idea how long it's going to take me to write it however, it would be fantastic to have it available for my next seminar in February 2009.  Is that realistic?  Never having published a book before I have no idea.

It's a case of watch this space......

I think that's more  than enough sharing today.  Have a superb day,

Noelyne

Another milestone achieved!

 

I successfully delivered a session on Health and Well-being to a group of ladies attending our Health, Wealth and Charisma event in Peterborough last Saturday.  And I am really proud of myself!

 

What’s so fantastic about that?  Well, the workshops that I am normally involved in are for Organisations or Companies where I am asked to deliver training and development to a group of Managers to aid their learning and ultimately to improve performance and profits/ achievement of targets.  The training can be material provided by the organisation or content that I have designed following a training needs analysis of the situation/problem.

 

The difference last Saturday is that I was sharing my personal approach to creating Health and Well-being.  I chose some key points that I have learned and experienced that have worked for me, to share with the group.  I had no idea as to whether this is what they were expecting and or whether they wanted this as I had not met these people before.  I was opening myself up to complete strangers who could have chosen to ridicule me.  As it happens the feedback was tremendous with each participant having got something from the session.

 

On reflection I know that I can make it even better, which of course is what I will do when we deliver the next event in February 2009.

It's a well known fact that people are more likely to open e-mails or messages that have bad news in the subject line! I'm pleased it worked :-) and it's a please to connect with you.

I've been busy learning about social networking and search engine optimisation and article writing and all sorts since coming back from holidays so much so that I've neglected my blog. :-( So this is a quick update on what's happening in the Noelyne Jones Coaching world.

I had an exhilarating meeting with my friend and business partner Yvonne Emery last Friday.

We’ve agreed the theme for our next workshop which is in Peterborough on Saturday 29^th November, 2008. It’s a Health, Wealth and Charisma event exclusively for women. I’ll be releasing more details later this week so watch this space!

I have an ongoing ‘To Do’ list which needs my attention too. Next task to complete is for the new website due to be launched soon.

As ever is you want more information and to speak to me please contact me via my website at www.noelyne.com

I love them.  In fact I love holidays and travelling and just spending time away exploring.  This year my family joined me in Devon for three weeks so that I could honour the training contract I agreed to in December 2007.

For the first time ever I have found the holiday a challenge.  In that I have not really got to that point of total relaxation and feeling of being totally away from it all.  I have been delivering training two days a week, which I also love to do however, it has totally disrupted the holiday for my partner and his boys.  This has increased the stress levels.  Added to the challenge of keeping two very energetic boys entertained and happy, has meant sleepless nights, despite copious amounts of Rose wine and the odd glass of cider.  Well it is Summer after all.  And of course, I have not been able to sit out on the veranda of an evening to watch the sunset.  I'm in Devon remember, heavy rain and gales!

What have I learned? 

I need to keep the amount of time devoted to working whilst on holiday to a minimum i.e. 20 mins daily to check e-mails.  I need easy access to the internet to do this.  I need slightly more sunshine than 5 hours in a three week period!  Next year will be a holiday in the sun in a 5 star hotel with full access to the internet and all the other trimmings.  Thank you!

Did some spectacular walks on Dartmoor though and will definitely come back.  Have fallen in love!

Speak soon

Hello,

So here I am in Devon on my holiday and it's raining. Surprise surprise! Why did we pick Devon? Apart from the beautiful countryside, friendly people and terrific food, I am delivering training here until the end of August a couple of days a week. My family joined me at the beginning of the week and as the boys love camping we decided to spend the first week in a tent.

All going swimmingly well for the first two days, then the 11 year old gets an upset tummy and is sick all night. Big bonus is that I saw 5 shooting stars in the space of 10 mins while I was taking a breather from watching over the boy, at 3 am.

Later that morning having just fallen asleep we are woken by the tent being battered by gale force winds and torrential rain. Things really going swimmingly well now! Holding onto our hats we all pile into the car and head to the shower block. Hot shower and dry clothes and all is well with the world. What next? Coffee and croissants in Tesco cafe sounds like a good idea. The forecast is for at least 2 more days of rain.

After numerous phone calls and a 45 minute drive we are in the middle of Dartmoor and installing ourselves in a bunkhouse. There's a pub attached so all is well with the world . Our tent is pushed to the back of our minds as it sits out the storm on it's own. Will it still be there in the morning?

Back at work today and the sun is shining and there are clear blue skies.

Hey ho!

How are you feeling right now?

If you are tense and struggling with what you are doing then I give you permission to stop now. Take a deep breath, stand up and go and do something different for a while. Take a walk in the fresh air, make a cup of tea, go for a swim, phone a friend whatever you need to do to take your mind off the activity that was causing you to choose to feel tense. That’s right you have a choice!

If you are struggling with whatever it is that you are doing then the chances are that you are focusing on something that you don’t want to do or perhaps are not ready to take action on yet. Far better to go and do something else and then refocus on the original activity when you feel better prepared. It may be that you decide not to follow that path after all.

Of course if it’s frustration that you are feeling then maybe you are on the verge of a breakthrough it’s just you haven’t quite found or mastered the next step yet.

Whatever it is that you are doing now make sure you are relaxed and enjoying it. Your life will be much happier as a result, you will look good (a smile on your face is so much more attractive that a frown) and feel great too.

Expect excitement and adventure every day,

Noelyne
