Life Coaching - My Passion

by Jacque Geyser

On the 31st of August 2004, I thought my life as a professional Occupational Health Nurse was over. A diagnosis of Pericarditis and Burn-out syndrome was made after I landed in hospital. My physician informed me that it could take up to a year for me to recuperate. I resigned. My ordered life abruptly came to a standstill.

Quiet moments gave me time to reflect on my life. So far it was a good life, but after working for 25 years I took time out to really listen to my inner voice. This voice has always been with me during my life as a wife, mother and in my professional career. Now I stood still and intently listened to the message.
The message: There is even much more for me in my lifetime and I can live my dream.

Calmness, focus, determination and a perfect sense of purpose came over me.

My family was informed and I took action. The first step was to create and develop a Holistic Lifestyle Management Program for Women, which I named Life-Renovation.

By starting the NEW INSIGHTS LIFE COACHING program I have entered the last lap of my journey. Now I have nearly come full circle with my personal development and spiritual growth.

This journey had times when I felt very lonely, isolated, uncertain and scared. This change has brought an acute sense of awareness, an understanding of my gifts and capabilities and my ability to be of service to others. Now I can truly inspire others and make them believe in themselves.

My passion in life is Life Coaching. My clients deserve to know that I respect them, believe in them, that I will support and encourage them on their journey. Confidentiality and a safe environment are guaranteed.

Being in doubt of one's mission can be daunting. I share just a few of my life saviors:
Life a life of daily gratitude.
Shift from being fearful to being excited about today and
the future
Do not let the baggage of your past suppress you living
your best life.
Believe in possibilities and not in problems.
Read extensively. Study continuously.
Respect your body and ensure a healthy life style.
Lead a spiritual life.
Surround yourself with positive friends and colleagues.
Love yourself and be at peace with yourself.
LOVE.
Meet new people. Be interested in their lives and learn
from them
Make time for relaxation. Smell the roses. Drink good
coffee.
Enjoy and share good food with family and friends.
Give your time and financial assistance to a worthy cause.
Laugh more.
Always be professional in a working environment.
Dress for success and be well groomed. This shows
respect for yourself and others.
Must have: a hobby
Support your husband/partner/children. Be excited about
their achievements.
Be available, approachable, and empathetic to the true
needs of others.
Don't judge.
Give your children wings to soar when they leave the
nest.
Give compliments when they are due.
Unburden thoughts of resentment, anger, hate,
dissatisfaction and unforgiveness.
Have a positive attitude daily.
Take active part in protecting our environment and planet.

May all of us strive to live our dream, better the world and ourselves.

Kind regards
