Mes clients sont des personnes voulant avoir pleinement conscience de leur potentiel et l'utiliser pour transformer leur vie, progresser, s'épanouir, convertir une appréhension de la différence en une source de développement et d'efficacité. Considérant l'individu au centre du coaching mais aussi comme partie intégrante d'un systčme plus complexe, tel que la famille ou l'entreprise, j'ai aidé ā la création d'entreprises, ā des changements de carričre, ā l'adaptation ā un nouvel environnement (reconfiguration de la personne au milieu de nombreuses nouveautés), tout en veillant ā ce que la personne profite d'une vie équilibrée. Some consideration before joining the Develop Your Child team / quelques considérations avant d'avoir rejoint l'équipe de Develop Your Child New Zealand
When I reflect on my life there are decisions that I thank my lucky stars I made. One of these decisions was to attend a career discovery workshop in 1999. You see I was despondent and unfulfilled with the hospitality industry I had worked in for 15 years, so I began a search for something better. My life changing eureka moment came when I realised that whatever my career it had to involve helping people succeed, achieve their dreams and live to their fullest potential. I discovered and completed the Results ICT Programme in 2002 and became the youngest Results’ certified coach in New Zealand. I am now in my seventh year of Coaching, four of which have been full time. It is said I have the ability to connect with people of all ages, race, status and backgrounds and I guess this is backed up by my wide and varied array of clients. In the later part of 2006 I co-founded “The Secret Enterprise Ltd” and am in the process of establishing a Law of Attraction training (LOA) college in New Zealand that will provide education for all who wish to master LOA principles. Our goal is to create a better planet by firstly helping Kiwis attain enlightened, abundant, prosperous and fuller lives. Alan Wilson’s Develop Your Child (DYC) programmes fits perfectly into our vision. Teaching our children to use the LOA and to trust their inner knowing is a smart and simple way to change the fabric of our future for New Zealand. Involving parents to communicate connect and understand their children on a different level; a more emotional level is the key. When we change the way we see our children, they will develop a self worth and esteem which enables them to view the world in a whole new light. This is when magic happens - when young people and parents alike feel like they have been heard, valued and respected, a brand new world becomes alive. With a different approach, we can truly help them unleash their potential and to realise their magnificence. Move over Generation Y and Generation X, here comes Generation Vibe. If you are ready, we invite you to join us on our journey to empower our planet to be all that it can be, by empowering our children and families to be all that they can be.

I was on a journey of self-discovery when I was introduced to coaching in 2002. I took an intensive coach training with Results Coaching Systems (Australia) and was certified in 2003. Coaching is similar to an educational course in the University of Life. It has been my life force in a journey that empowers me to help people to help themselves and build self-belief in myself and others. I went on to take many self-development courses including Anthony Robbins, Landmark, Universal Law, and Linda Chandler to name a few. I realized that when your communication is not effective and your relationship is not working, your life is not working. Life Coaching definitely has an impact in a person's life. Therefore, when a family is in harmony, it has the ripple effect through society, organization and community. This, I found out through my personal experiences and by coaching working adults. Since then, my clients are Human Resource Directors, Sale Managers, Trainers, consultant, Executives, Head of Department in schools, graduates & students. I deliver talks on Work-Life Balance in conferences, coaching for success in schools and organizations.

Plötsligt tittade hon ut genom fönstret som om något långt i fjärran fångade hennes uppmärksamhet. Sedan sa hon: ”Alla ska inte bli professionella coacher… men alla som vill kan ha ett coachande förhållningssätt. Man kan ju vara en coachande förälder, till exempel”. Orden träffade mig rakt i maggropen. Jag visste inte mycket om coaching, men jag visste att jag just hade hört en mening som skulle få avgörande betydelse för min framtid. Året var 2003. Mina egna barn var 3 och 7 år. Jag och min man Anders var väldigt intresserade av allt som kunde hjälpa oss att bli sunda föräldrar. Vi hade båda i hela våra liv älskat att vara tillsammans med barn. Deras naturliga nyfikenhet, livsglädje och lekfullhet kommer för alltid att vara som en magnet för oss. Men jag hade ännu inte fattat vad coaching hade med barn att göra. Vad hade hon menat med att vara en coachande förälder? Jag ville veta. Orden kom från en erfaren coach som jag satt och intervjuade, för som beteendevetare var jag nyfiken. Begreppet coaching började bli mer och mer vanligt i svenska medier. Men vad stod det för? En amerikansk trend? Eller ett sätt att bemöta människor som faktiskt kan förändra hur vi lever våra liv? Eftersom jag verkligen ville förstå, använde jag en termin vid universitetet till att forska och djupintervjua coacher. Deras svar jämförde jag med vad pedagogisk teori säger om utveckling. Mina analyser övertygade mig. Professionell coaching bär på kraft och möjligheter och ger glädje och energi. Nu, ett antal år senare, har jag lagt ICF-coachcertifiering och erfarenhet till min bakgrund inom beteendevetenskap. Jag är licensierad Develop Your Child-familjecoach (den enda i Norden). Förutom att jag möter egna klienter och familjer i alla livets skiften, utbildar och föreläser jag i coaching och coachande förhållningssätt. I mina kurser har jag varit med om att se mängder av lärare och skolledningsfolk, förskollärare och föräldrar upptäcka ett nytt sätt att bemöta barn och ungdomar. Min dröm är att ”våra” barn överallt ska mötas med respekt och tillit till att de kan göra egna, kloka val, känna livsglädje, relatera till andra med trygghet och hålla fast vid sina drömmar. Som familjecoach har jag 100% tilltro till att du som förälder gör det bästa du kan i varje situation, och du behöver inga pekpinnar, utan stolthet över att du är den bästa förälder som just ditt barn kan ha. Vill du veta mer om hur vi kan samarbeta kring din familj? Vill du lära dig mer om coachingens enkla verktyg? Vill du själv bli coachad i din föräldraroll? Jag längtar efter att höra ifrån dig. maria.polhage@hotmail.com United Kingdom
I was first introduced to coaching about 7 years ago when I experienced a coaching workshop that my then employer rolled-out in the business. I had that "lightbulb" moment of realising that I had been practicising as a coach for most of my working life - I just hadn't realised that's what it was called! My background is that of Human Resources and Learning & Development and after being made redundant twice in quick succession I decided to pursue my dream of becoming a coach. I completed my qualification with an organisation in Scotland, New-U-Now Coaching, two years ago and last year I attained my Advanced Diploma in Coaching with the same organisation. I am also accreditted, via the Coaching Academy, to run both Youth and Parent Coaching workshops and I now own and run my own successful coaching and development business which allows me to have the quality time and work/life balance that I was always hankering after with my own family. I am also delighted to be an Associate Coach with Develop Your Child as this organisation truly represents the family and how important it is to our futures. I really believe that coaching does unlock the potential in everyone and as a coach you get the priviledge to explore what that is in each individual in a very safe and non-judgemental environment. I have the ability to work in partnership with individuals, young people of all ages, families, teams or groups to encourage self-belief, personal awareness, self confidence, motivation and achievement of “wishes”. I know that you can achieve whatever you want - as I've done it and am continuing to do! ~ “wishing is just the beginning“. I am a truly passionate individual who is totally committed to empowering, inspiring and supporting people along their coaching journey and to be able to share my knowledge and skills so that others can enhance their own lives and make their wishes come true. Fantastic! I love working with young people, families and organisations that support young people to really capture the essence of the fact that families do matter!

Hi I'm Genny and my background is in accountancy and training. Whilst working in these areas I became interested in psychology and the way people tick. Most of the time when I visited clients or delivered a training session, it always ended up with me listening to the challenges people faced in life and supporting them in their experiences. I trained with The Coaching Academy in 2003. Since then I have been coaching individuals to maximise their potential. I have also run some coaching courses on my own and for a number of organisations. I am passionate about helping individuals to be the best they can. I am passionate about working with children from an early age to help them to develop to be confident and be the best they can. I also enjoy working with parents to make the parenting journey enjoyable and to allow parents to also have time for themselves. Some consideration before joining the Develop Your Child team
I started my career in banking and following the birth of my two beautiful, amazing sons decided on a career change whereby I could spend all my time with these fabulous, intriguing creatures called ‘children’ and as a result trained to become a teacher. Throughout my 20 years of teaching I enjoyed the challenge of motivating children and instilling into them the ‘I can try’ and ‘I can do’ attitude, celebrating with them their achievements both large and small and watching them blossom as their self esteem grew and grew. This interest in motivating children first brought me into contact with ‘Educational Coaching’ and as a result I gained my first coaching qualification as a ‘Performance Coach.’ Margaret Sheridan-Wallis I am a Professional Development Trainer and Life Coach and run my own successful Training and Coaching practice. One of my specialties is coaching Children and Young People. In addition to my training and coaching qualifications (BA(Hons), LCH dip, Assoc.CIPD, MBTI accredited) I have recently become qualified as a Master Practitioner of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Progamming). It's a very powerful coaching technique which gets better results for individuals in a very short timescale. I am very excited about continuing to use and develop this with my existing and future clients. I am passionate about my family, friends andliving life to my fullest potential. I continually look to challenge myself and develop professionally. I totally believe in the power of coaching and so am passionate about introducing it to children, young people and their parents, carers and teachers. I am committed to sharing my skills with others so that they may enhance their own knowledge, skills and attitude to create the life they deserve. See my website www.noelyne.com.

Felicia’s experience reflects a pendulum swing from one extreme as a people-pleaser without voice, identity or confidence to the other as an exuberant, gifted coach whose passion is coaching students to enable them to develop constructive and productive behaviors, which eventually become effective habits, transforming their lives. She uses her innate strengths of curiosity, compassion and intuition to see below the surface of matters to facilitate problem solving. Her own personal growth informs her drive to ensure that every child should have the opportunity to build confidence by enlisting habits of mind and action that create self-understanding, unfolding and enhancing in-born strengths. She is dedicated to the experience of learning with confidence and a core belief in their own potential for every child. Felicia calls her work human science! As a member of the Develop Your Child team she is able to extend her coaching strengths to whole families. Her background includes twenty-plus years in Training, Coaching, Sales, and Sales Management with leading organizations such as Sylvan Learning Centers, Estee Lauder Companies, Filenes, and CBS Radio. Graduated from Bryant College in Smithfield, RI (AKA Bryant University) with a degree in Management, she has also trained with Develop Your Child, Coachville, and Dale Carnegie.
