About Transformative Living |
|
Finding ways to offer Transformative Living to you, your family, community or business is my dream and passion.
I am a certified teacher/trainer in adult education. I have worked with adults in vocational, educational, corporate and community settings and with Youth at Risk and teenagers who are trying to find their feet for over 15 years.
I enjoy working with individuals, couples, families or groups. Most of all, I am passionate about journeying with you to create a life in harmony with your values at the personal level, in relationships, in your community and business or work; integrating creativity, integrity, harmony and insight.
In my own life I have offered these insights and modelled these practices in the SBS documentary "Divorce Stories" and in a NSW Department of Education DVD on "Supporting Teachers who work with Young People" as well as supporting a workplace practice group and facilitating trainings in "Transformative Communication" for TAFE teachers.
I have found the practices I am offering to be the most direct and effective ways to understanding "what's really going on" and for each party to meet their needs/values in any given situation, as well as giving the opportunity to celebrate successes.
Transformative Living is based upon 3 key practices
Focusing Mindfulness Nonviolent Communication
Transformative Living has the potential to eliminate the feelings of resentment at not being heard or not speaking honestly, or feelings of disempowerment. It can help us slow down our desire to move straight to strategy without getting to the nub of any issue and then wondering why we, or others, don't follow through or sabotage (even self-sabotage) the strategies we think we have agreed upon.
