Hello Friends, Clients and Potential Clients!I’m very excited to announce the publishing of my first book entitled ‘Coming Out of the Spiritual Closet – One Girl’s Guide to Spiritual Awakening‘ available on Lulu.com and soon from Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble, among others.To give you an idea of the content, I include here the introduction to the book:“Perhaps you have had a spiritual experience you cannot explain.  In trying, you might use terms such as ‘I see everything in a different light now,’ or ‘it feels as if I have woken up.’  Looking for an explanation for this experience may have led you to such terms like ‘enlightenment,’ ‘holy spirit,’ or ‘energy.’  You are probably searching for the words to describe your phenomenal and beautiful experience; to explain it; to understand.This book is not about religion.  It does not condone fundamentalism or extremism.This book is concerned with helping you through the aftermath of your ‘awakening.’  The reason I have written this is because I have had firsthand experience of such an occurence.  At the time I had no context or language to describe my experience.  My religious upbringing could not explain it.  I spent five years searching for the tools to help me live the life to which I felt I was being called; meeting (sometimes) the challenges of living life with new awareness and different eyes.  I read many self-help books, took many courses, and investigated many different healing therapies.  I have distilled the most useful of my experiences and learning into this book.This is intended as a guide for the newly awakened.  It is not the guide, nor is it comprehensively extensive in the areas it covers.  I do hope, however, that it assists you on your own path, and that it may help you live more joyfully, sooner.”If any of you wish to know more about me and how I coach, or further your knowledge about how to live out your dreams, please purchase a copy and don’t be shy to send me your comments.Have a beautiful month!

  Dear Coaches, Coachees, Future Clients & Friends!

Have you ever considered coach training to improve your business, interpersonal relationships or leadership skills?  You may not want to become a ‘Life Coach,’ but coaching techniques can be applied in many different personal and professional contexts.

One of the most important courses I have ever taken in my life has been my coach training with International Coach Academy.  It has supported me, not only in my profession, but in my daily life.  I can honestly say that the skills and practices that I use in my coaching have enhanced all my relationships. They have increased my success in my professional life, too.

I believe the ICA coach training program is one of the best in the world today. That’s why I’m there and that’s why I want to bring your attention to this magnificent community.

I have joined the ICA Affiliate Program and get to help kick it off!  We are offering a great incentive and a great way to get a feel for the training and the school.  I urge you to take a look at this very professional program, where you will meet others from all over the world to study leading-edge interpersonal development.

Please note: as a colleague and friend of mine, there is a 10% discount in your registration if you sign up for a program with ICA before June 29th. So if you are considering becoming a coach, or want to use coaching skills to enhance your professional or personal life, this might be the right time to act.

ICA currently runs 5 distinct communities of practice: - life coaching- business coaching - executive coaching- spiritual coaching- career coaching

 

Each community of practice (or CoP as we call them) has a community leader, a dedicated online space, a forum and anetwork of like-minded people. These communities are great places to build your networks and learn new skills while youdo it in a lively global thought-provoking environment.If coaching has been something you have been considering, I really encourage you to take up this opportunity; it is aunique way to “get inside” this fantastic community and see why I am so passionate about it.

 

The ICA training really is a quality program. I have been impressed by the depth and breadth of the wisdom and insights of the trainers, and by the diversity and excitement in the student body. I encourage you to go have a look at the website, and to give yourself the gift of finding out more about this leading-edge coaching training program.

Transform your life in 30 days – that’s the idea!

Acting4Life – Helping you live more joyfully, sooner! 

e-Newsletter, edtion #2, March 2007

Dear Friends, Coaches, Coachees & Future Clients, 

 Acting 4 Life has a purpose!  I have a purpose! 

Do you? 

Having been on a five year journey for WHOLENESS and JOYFULNESS I realize I have a lot to offer those who are experiencing their own energy or ‘spirit’ for the first time.  There are so many pitfalls along the way, and so many lessons to be learned which I chose to learn the hard way!  The transition from your old perception of life and way of living it, to living one in alignment with your new knowledge and awareness can be a rocky road. That is why I am now adding a Mentor Coaching service to Acting 4 Life to support those walking the spiritual path with only their intuition to guide them.  You are not alone!  Contact me for details at lucy@acting4life.com.   

Yours JOYFULLY, 
Lucy McBride

Introducing… Bloodhound Life Coaching… for humans! 

Bloodhound Life Coaching is a new sister company of Acting 4 Life that specializes in Block Removal coaching. 

What does ‘Block Removal’ mean? When we see a pattern repeat in our lives, and the other people in the pattern change but we remain, we realize that we are the only ‘constant’ in the equation.  The pattern may be in the form of a long-standing goal that we consistently fail to achieve.  In this scenario, there is obviously something ‘blocking’ us from getting there.   Usually the block is in the form of an unconscious belief we are holding about ourselves which then manifests in the world. 

At Bloodhound, we use our own Block Removal model entitled AVOID HIJACK, specifically designed to uncover those undermining, underlying beliefs we hold about ourselves that hijack and run our lives.    This is high level coaching for those on already on the path of self-investigation, who are willing to look at patterns in their lives, and realize that they are the ones responsible for their creation, and ultimately their cessation.   

At Bloodhound we employ a direct and ‘gloves off’ style of coaching with a touch of HUMOUR to lesson the ‘significance’ we detectives tend to carry around in our self-work!
