The first of our success stories, designed to provoke thought and inspire change so that you can lead your life to true fulfillment.

So often we are not aware of the stories and paradigms we picked up and cemented into our Psyche as we were growing up. Often times we believe it must be a traumatic event or memory that holds us back. But it can be the simplest of phrases, ideas or concepts that we pick up, even the positive ones, that our brain imprints on and shapes our being around.

Without coaching, reflective practice and deep inner work these stories and paradigms can control our lives silently. It is only when we begin to unpack our beliefs that we realise what is holding us back.

Here Erica Mackay from Orange Tree shares many wonderful ideas and concepts, not least a personal story of one compliment that shaped her and her sisters life until very recently.

We invite you to sit somewhere quiet with this one, with pen and paper ready and leave space afterward for some reflective practice. Note what comes up for you personally and what implications this might have on how you lead others.
