An Update!

October 11, 2011 – 11:20 pm

I’ve a quick update to share with you.

I remember that for many, many years, I found myself feeling I was in the ‘wrong’ job.  One friend even described me as a pinball machine!  Always trying new things and always seeking something that make my heart sing.  Have you ever felt like that?  Something always told me that I was happiest when I was working with women, empowering them to step up and go for it (I spent years in the recruitment industry)!

Now, I know as a womens life coach and mentor, nothing gives me a greater feeling than witnessing my clients own transformations; it’s just the best feeling and I feel so privilaged to work with my clients.  If you’re still struggling to find your ‘thing’ let me know, I maybe able to support you with that!

As with all things creative, my business is organic, it’s taking it’s own shape.  I want to let you know that I’ve chosen to drop the Daring Damsels branding and use my own name.  So my website will reflect this soon!  And Fab Friends Network will have it’s own unique site – and I can’t wait to share that with you!  Both will be launched very soon.

My vision a few years ago was to create a worldwide supportive network for women and I’m so excited that new Fab Friends Network groups will be opening early next year around the UK – reaching more ladies who want to feel more fabulous, who want more from life, who are ready to ignite their passions and belong to a peer group of supportive women who will encourage them to step up and go for it!

As you know, High Wycombe Fab Friends group, is soon to have a sister group Basingstoke Fab Friends, based in Sherfield on Loddon which launches this week – on Thursday 13th in the evening!  If your name isn’t on the guest list and would like to come along, there are still a few free places – just email me. Find more information at www.fabfriendsnetwork.com

Have you been to a Fab Friends meeting?  Watch this 2 minute video to see what 3 fabulous ladies said last week as they left the High Wycombe group they did make me giggle!

So that’s all for now, I just wanted to keep you in the loop!

Have a great week and I hope to speak with you soon.

Do send me an email or call me on 07702 591288 if you’d like more information or if I can support you on your life journey.

Wishing you happiness

Ali xx

What Are You Grateful For Which Is Yet To Come?

April 11, 2011 – 9:00 am

Wow, what a great response to the last blog about feeling grateful.  It’s always wonderful to get feedback, I feel so grateful.  I received messages of gratitude for family, new jobs, good health, pay rise and also for these messages.

I was given a Gratitude Journal last year by my mentor.  It is a merchandise product from The Secret and I’ve found writing in it a wonderful experience.  I write what I am grateful for now and on the opposite page there is space for writing what I am grateful for in the future – and write from my heart as if I already have/experience it. 

It can feel strange saying “I am so grateful for the beautiful beach house which overlooks the sea” when I do not already have it – the amazing thing is, I’ve found it crystallises my dreams, and I go with the flow of what I’m feeling in that moment.  It doesn’t matter if I repeat over and over the same feelings of gratitude because as you know, where focus goes, energy flows – ie, you get what you focus on!  And it feels FABULOUS!

Go on, try it and let me know how that feels for you.  Focus and celebrate your future now.  Keep a Gratitude Journal and find some time each day (or every few days) – you’ll be amazed at the results you are getting – and the feelings it creates inside of you!

Quote of the day:  “Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.” Brian Tracy

News Flash: I have space for just 2 new clients this month (Open to ladies in the UK and overseas – via Skype). 

Message me now if you feel ready to step up and find out more about getting the life you know you deserve – be quick, these places will be filled quickly!  

Wishing you so much happiness

Are you ready to step up? Here is my offer to you

March 7, 2011 – 9:00 am

I was moved some years ago by a poem which I’d love to share with you.  You may be familiar with the words of Marianne Williamson, I’m sure if you’re like me then you won’t mind reading them again.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.  Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.  It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.  We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?  Actually, who are you not to be?  You are a child of God.  Your playing small does not serve the world.  There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.  We are all meant to shine, as children do.  We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.  It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.  And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.  As we’re liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”  

I wonder how these words affect you?  I know that the first time I read them I could see how I’d been ‘fitting’ in with everyone else and was keeping myself small so I didn’t stand out, didn’t want to risk criticism from others and lacked belief in myself – I didn’t want to be seen.  Do you do this too?  My self esteem was very low.  It cost me relationships with friends and partners, I didn’t think anyone would find me interesting or my opinions.  I felt I was a disappointment to my family, was happy to spend money on my children but not on myself,  didn’t like myself very much, didn’t feel safe and was always worrying about things.  And then good news -  it began to change!  I got some coaching and mentoring!

It was like the chains that were holding me a prisoner just dropped off and I was able to step into the light, regain my self esteem, discover who I really was and began to live my purpose to the full. 

Whilst I didn’t have the money, I knew I didn’t want to put my life on hold and if things stayed as they were, I’d never have the money.  I could see how much my flawed thought patterns and behaviours were costing me (and as a role model, future generations).  I knew that my happy future depended on getting some support.  I was ready to invest in myself so I borrowed some money and used my credit card.  It was the best thing I could have done to set myself free and to release the ‘real’ me again!

Having a coach to ‘hold my hand’, someone who asked me the difficult questions that I’d never asked myself, who supported and believed in me, my really accelerated my progress.  The results were tremendous!  I still have a coach and a mentor today who support me to accelerate in other areas of my life - coaching is super powerful!

Do you feel ready to step into the light too?  Have these blogs over the months been supporting you to make some changes which are creating a better life for you? 

If you feel that you would like to accelerate your progress, invest in yourself and work with me on a one to one basis then I have an offer for you!  This won’t be for everyone, but if your heart is telling you this is your time, then I have only 5 spaces to take on new clients currently.  I would love to have an informal chat with you if you feel ready to shine.

Most clients choose book a series of 6 x 50 minutes weekly sessions with me as this is more effective than booking one off sessions.  Your investment in 6 sessions is £497.  However, as you are one of my loyal Damsels, I am offering you the opportunity of applying for one of these 5 places with a massive £100 off the usual price bringing this amazing offer to you at £397!!!!   My mentor thinks I’ve lost the plot as my prices will be going up in the near future, and yet I feel in my heart that I want to do this for you.  This blog will be seen many hundred ladies, many of whom have booked sessions with me in the past and who will want to snap up this bargain, so I urge you to be quick in replying.  Please email me with ‘Application for discount’ in the subject line and a short message and I’ll get back to you asap to arrange our informal, no obligation chat ali@daringdamsels.com.  This offer is only open to you for the next 7 days.

Let me know if you are ready to draw the line in the sand, to step up into the light to allow me the privilege of supporting you get your life ‘back’.

With love and happiness

What do some previous clients say about their coaching/mentoring experience with me?

“Ali’s wonderful warmth and generous spirit puts you immediately at ease. Her intuition and empathy combined with a fervent support of what makes each individual woman uniquely special leads to a coaching session that is uplifting and inspiring. Ali will not only make you realise what is great about you, but help you on a path towards realising your own unique potential.” Yiannik Bennett, Florida

“Ali immediately made me feel very comfortable and safe during our coaching session with her friendly and empathetic approach. I had been blocked for some time and was unsure how to progress forward. She skillfully changed tack when it became apparent that I was not going to respond predictably but still enabled me to feel in control at all times. Due to her spontaneous and skillful creativity, we ended up achieving far more than I would have dreamed possible. As a result of the session, I at last feel able to move forward again, helped in no small way by the strategies and exercises she has given me. I give Ali highest recommendation. Anyone who is seeking sensitive and skilled guidance in their business or personal lives would benefit greatly by seeking her help”. Laurelle Rond, England

“What is special about Ali’s coaching is her gentle and compassionate approach, along with her perceptive and intuitive insights. Through her support and her powerful questioning, I have been able to see more clearly and be more empowered. I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone who wants to make deep and significant changes in their lives. Thank you Ali for all your help!” Hilary Reeves, England

“Ali has a great manner about her. She is patient and easy to talk to and really helped me to think about my priorities and focus in life.”  Ros Kitson, England

“Ali is a wonderful, sensitive and compassionate coach and friend. She has helped me to get back in touch with my self worth and talents when I had lost sight of them, spending many years at home looking after my family. I now feel ready to move on to the next stage of my life and I am very grateful to Ali for helping me find the way.” Chris Iishin Horner, New Zealand
