yes, Yes!

So Lisa Nichols a well-known transformation Coach came up with a slogan that says yes, Yes! 

She explains that that when you shout this slogan, the second Yes must be louder than the first one. The second Yes is to yourself and a shout of affirmation to put any fear you may be facing in the rightful place. In her words: "acknowledge the fear in your life, but do not let fear take the driver’s seat in your life." yes, Yes!

What a powerful statement.

From the feedback I received on the previous blog post, one fellow Coach shared with me how fear grabs us and paralyses us from moving forward. I realized that none of us is actually spared from fear. The difference we see in others, especially those that we may be looking up to, is that they have made fear their fuel.
yes, Yes!

January 2023 has come and gone. February 2023 has begun. The year is progressing swiftly. The days seem to be going faster than usual. Oh and those goals that you may have set in January are now looking at you, and waiting for your action. And you may be waiting for that perfect moment. Hhhmmm…. 

The perfect moment is when you take action regardless of the conditions. Ready or not. yes, Yes!

Even in the midst of fear, take action anyway. yes, Yes!

With each little action taken, as someone who is going to the gym, that muscle will get stronger and sooner or later confidence will rise.

With every Coaching session I have with clients, I realize more and more how important it is to create a frame of mind with healthy and positive self-talk.

Every now and again we all need some encouragement. This post is about how you can encourage yourself to keep going in 2023. 

Having regular self-talks with positivity can help a lot. Yes, Yes!

And if Lisa was infront of you now, she would say to you: "Saying yes means giving yourself permission to play bigger than you have ever played before".

And you would then reply: yes, Yes!

Doing it!

  What are you not doing that you should be doing? What are you doing that you should not be doing? What were you supposed to have done that you did not do? What do you enjoy doing that you have ignored for so long? Do you know what you are supposed to be doing now, at this point in your life? Are you happy with what you are doing in your life right now? When will you start doing it… that which you know serves you well, and brings out the best in you? Doing that one thing; that one must do to make a difference in one’s own life and the lives of the loved ones, is a challenge that many find themselves in. How come we find it a challenge to do that one thing, which could lead to our breakthrough? What stops us from being bold to take that very first step, especially when we are aware of that which must be done? Is it fear of success or fear of failure, or laziness? "You’ll never plough a field by turning it over in your mind," so says an Irish Proverb. In other w...

Let's do this!

  Today, 01 July marks the beginning of the second half of the year 2021. What a tumultuous first half of the year that many of us have experienced. In some cases, the traces of pain are still existing. We have witnessed, or heard of, families that have lost their loved ones in a matter of hours or within days and weeks. In some cases, a whole family is lost, especially due to COVID. As a COVID survivor, and having lost my mother to COVID, each story that I have encountered has made me re-live my own experience of fear, pain, horror, and loss. I sympathize and empathize. But for some reason, I have also come to realize that one can still find courage and hope amidst all the bad things that may be happening around one’s life. Living in South Africa makes me appreciate more and more about Mandela’s stance on courage and fear. One day he said, “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but h...

BOPA MOSADI – Build a Woman!

BOPA MOSADI – Build a Woman! During this past week, I had the privilege of interacting with twenty female budding entrepreneurs, through a Training and Coaching Session. The session was organized as part of an on-going business development project named as Bopa Mosadi a Setswana phrase that means to build or mold a woman. The purpose of this project is to empower the carefully selected young businesswomen, to bridge the economic gap by equipping them with relevant and practical knowledge and business skills. Consequently this aims at enabling them to penetrate and compete in the economy through their small businesses. The project is sponsored by the DO More Foundation under RCL Foods that operates in the Rustenburg area.
