Hope
that life is good for you at the moment!
We’ve become more and more interested in how we can affect our neural
pathways when we change our habitual thoughts.
So, we’ve included here something you might like to try as it will
change your mood and help you feel good.
Our next Wisborough Conscious Leadership Programme will start in the Spring
on 26th & 27th April.
If you want to be a more self-aware leader who has the resilience and
emotional intelligence to create the perfect conditions for your team to be
able to succeed with ease go to Conscious Leadership and find out more about the Programme.
We’re conscious of time
rushing past at the moment and about the way we use our time. We thought you might be interested to
consider these two quite different approaches to consciously using time.
The Spring Wisborough Positive & Powerful Leadership Programme, on 17th & 18th April & 4th May,is a good blend of skills and knowledge that uses
current work situations to develop more sensitive and skilful leaders to bring
out the best in their teams. It may be
just what you are looking for to help you be the best you can be.
As usual there is a
reminder about our Wisborough Conscious Achievement Coaching and lastly Musings over Breakfast uses a poem to ask “what picture are you painting of your life?"

Feeling good
We’ve become
more and more interested in neuroplasticity and how we can all do things to
help rewire our brains. As you may know,
we’ve always believed that using reflective tools, such as gratitude lists, keeping
a journal, etc. can help us release serotonin and reduce cortisol.
We also think
that if we could consciously be appreciative and grateful at the time something
is happening (in a meeting, going for a walk, as we make decisions), rather
than afterwards on reflection, it would create a habit, that will give us a
more positive attitude to life.
So, we thought
that as an experiment you might like to consciously ask yourself at random
times during the day, questions such as
·
“What
am I appreciating at this moment?”
·
“How am
I making a difference at this moment?”
·
“What
am I pleased about at this moment?”
You get the
idea!
The more often
you do this in the day, the more it will lift your mood and give you a good
feeling, leading to more energy, more creativity, and easier
relationships. But, more than that, it
will begin to change your neural pathways so that it will become easier and
easier to stay on track. We’d be
interested to hear how you get on and how it affects your feelings and your
mood.
There is so much more

New dates for the
Spring Wisborough Conscious Leadership Programme to help you be a more mindful
and successful leader
The Conscious Leadership Programme will help you question what is
important to you as a leader. It will
increase your emotional intelligence, make your relationships more effective,
and help you be authentic as you use your values to deal with difficult
situations with integrity.
The
Conscious Leadership Programme, run by Chrissie McGinn & Richard Hewitt,
uses new concepts of leadership to develop successful leaders. This is a
cutting edge programme for managers to discover their natural leadership
qualities and to learn skills to enhance them. Each workshop is limited to six places to ensure
maximum benefit to each delegate.
“The course offers a unique opportunity for deep and intense
work in a small group of fellow professionals, and stresses both personal and
professional development. It is a combination of lectures, group dialogue, and
experiential exercises, as much a deep and life-transforming experience as a
training course.”
The new dates for
the Conscious Leadership Programme
The Conscious
Leadership Programme is
divided into 3 modules to give you time to embed the learning in the workplace
and see the results as you go along. The
dates are:
26th & 27th April Using your Emotions to Create Success
17th & 18th May Making & Maintaining
Positive Relationships
6th & 7th June Influencing with
Integrity
The
cost is £2200 or £1950 if booked six weeks before the first module. If you think it’s time that you became not
just a good leader, but a great one come on the Conscious Leadership Programme. Go to contact us or Email info@wisborough.com or call us on 44 (0)1798 872 266 to find out more or
to book your place. For more info click here
Using your time well
We’re conscious of time
rushing past at the moment and about the way we use
our time. We thought you might be
interested to consider these two quite different approaches to consciously using time. One may
appeal to you more than the other.
Take
a few minutes to finish these statements and see what would make you feel
happier and more fulfilled at home and at work:
o Nowadays I don’t have
time to ….
o Lack of time affects
my relationships as …
o When I am in a hurry
my mind is like …
o When I am in a hurry
my body feels …
o If I had all the time
in the world I would …
o The effect of this on
the coming year would be …
OR
As you already know, your secondary or outer
purpose lies within the dimension of time, while your main purpose is
inseparable from the Now and therefore requires the negation of time. How are they reconciled? By realising that your entire life journey ultimately
consists of the step you are taking at this moment. There is always only this one step, and so
you give it your fullest attention.
This
doesn’t mean you don’t know where you are going; it just means this step is
primary, the destination secondary. And
what you encounter at your destination once you get there depends on the
quality of this one step. Another way of
putting it: What the future holds for you depends on your state of
consciousness now. Eckhart Tolle

How
the Spring Wisborough
Positive & Powerful Leadership Programme could help motivate you and your team - new Autumn dates
for the UK - 17th & 18th April and 4th May Leadership is about hearts and minds. It is about
consciously helping people to really engage with their work and the success of
the company. As a leader you need to have the resilience and interpersonal
skills to create the right conditions to help your people build a better
future.The Wisborough Positive & Powerful
Leadership Programme will give you the insights and skills you need to help
everyone give their best performance, and achieve the results you want. Every Programme is tailored to meet
individual and organisational needs.
We’ve been running this Programme for over five years and people are
always delighted with the results. Benefits of the Wisborough Positive & Powerful Leadership Programme Here are some comments from delegates about how the Wisborough
Programme has transformed the way they work.
“It has got me thinking completely differently about myself, and my
staff, and how I can manage them.” “It takes the theoretical to the practical in the
workplace.” “It has
shown me that a lot of time we do know how people feel, but we don’t
acknowledge it and so people think we don’t care.” “It has given us great skills to manage our
own different situations at work.”“It makes us be realistic about our feelings and how they affect our
decisions and our behaviour.” “This is thought provoking for everyone as it isn’t the way we usually
work with people. It develops a maturity
with everyday actions in the organisation.” How does
this transformation happen? Day 1: will identify your leadership qualities, show you
how to manage your emotions and build powerful relationships within your teams
by communicating in ways that create real understanding and action. Day 2: will help you understand how to motivate your team
to get the best long term results, and will give you time to practise your
skills with your real issues. Then you will have a couple of weeks to practise
your skills back at your workplace and see some great results ready for Day 3: to show you how to take your team with
you through times of change, how to resolve conflict, and how
you can use your power to influence as you continue to develop your
skills.  The Programme uses the Wisborough
Positive & Powerful Leadership model to help you create a
harmonious and highly productive team and organisation. After completing the Programme you will
regularly review your progress with follow-up emails and questionnaires.

How our approach to coaching could
help you be true to yourself and be the best that you can be
What do you want from a good coach? Someone to encourage and support you? Someone to help you transform your perception? Someone to help you clarify your goals?
How do you want your coach to work with you? You know that you want them to ask you questions. You know that you want them to really listen and understand what you are trying to say. Perhaps you would like to do some visualisations to really embed some new ideas.
When do you want to work with your coach? You would like to be able to meet or speak on the phone at a time to suit you, perhaps at the beginning or the end of the day. You would like to have time in between sessions to practise some new skills. You would like to have a set number of sessions, and then time to review the way forward.
"I wanted to thank you for your time today. I have come away with some very useful tools which will help me improve my way of handling those difficult situations/ people. I understood the model you used and can relate it to my own position in the lab. You were superb at explaining it all and I really felt that you understood my own situation. I will start practicing and know that one day it will become more of a habit."
What do you want to focus on with your coach? You would like to understand yourself better, learn some new skills, and be more confident. You would like to know how to get the best out of your relationships. You would like to solve some current problems, become less stressed, and be more successful.
If all this sounds like you, and what you would like from your coach contact us or call 01798 872 266 or email info@wisborough.com headed "coaching" Looking forward to helping you be more positive and
maintain that positivity throughout 2014.
What picture are you painting of your life?
We recently spoke at a conference on compassion in Cashel in Ireland. Sean Brophy, a most remarkable man, has
spoken at this conference many times but couldn’t be with us this time as he
died earlier in the year.
Sean was very
insightful and hugely positive about life.
We thought that you might like this poem to encourage you to make the
most of your life.
A poem for young women by Sean Brophy
True art carries
A message and a smile
From the Divine.
Each day your soul
Creates this work of art
Called yourself.
Creation’s flow,
Life’s abundance brings you
Everything.
You don’t measure yourself …a
No need to win, for self-image,
You are beyond images.
You are everything
You need, secure because
You’ve nothing to fear.
You find perfect love,
Because you have discovered it
First in yourself.
Life is a self-portrait …
What picture are you painting,
You lovely woman?
We’re sure these words can be inspiring for women and men of any age!
We hope that you are painting a wonder-ful picture
and enjoying all that life can offer as you see the best in yourself.
Go well
