Special Time For Special Relationships

Christmas is, for many, a time when relationships are foremost in their minds. But for some, it is a time of deception, when the printed words of peace and love are in direct opposition to what they really feel inside.

Nicola Forshaw, a professional coach with a practice in Wirral explains: ?At this time of year, any relationships that are under strain may totally split asunder. As families gather together, old animosities and rivalries can bubble to the surface. The mature approach is to just let them go. It takes two people to have a disagreement. If one of them (you), decides that life is too short and makes a personal commitment to let the real happiness and peace that is Christmas become a reality, then there is no more argument. There is no point in winning a series of battles if you can simply end the war.?

In a few one-hour telephone or face to face conversations, at weekly intervals, Nicola invites her clients to review their relationships at home, at work and in a social environment. Together they create a strategy for repairing any that are suspect and for terminating the few that are beyond repair. She is quick to point out that the coach is simply the catalyst. It is the client who makes the decisions and the commitment. For a great many, the weekly reporting back of progress is the spur that keeps them on target. For others, even small achievements can create their motivation.

?If you use your energy to perpetuate a feeling of grudge, envy or hurt, then you are using energy that could, and will be directed towards more positive things - like building yourself the life that you truly desire.

Coaching helps people from all walks of life to take control of their future. If relationships, either intimate or work related, are a cause for concern, your weekly coaching session can show you a clear way forward.

In coaching there is no blame, no right and no wrong. There is simply an outcome or result that arises from an action. If you can learn the actions that create harmony and peace, then the joy of Christmas really will, as the cards say, stay with you throughout the rest of the year.

As Nicola says, "If you want to change somebody else, the only place you can begin is with changing yourself. And, the only time you can start is right now."
