Well Janaury 1st 2010 is certainly going to be a special new year in more ways than one!!!
I am a firm believer that you need to 'walk the talk' and so as a NLP Trainer and Coach, I am always looking at ways in which I can develop and move forward, both at a personal and business level.
If you have had the chance to work with me in the past, you may know that I have had a strong alliance over the years with another NLP Trainer and Coach, Kirsty McKinnon from Excelr8.
Kirsty and I got together recently to have our regular catch up in Starbucks and were excitedly talking about our plans for the New Year and what quickly became apparent was that our plans are very much aligned and ultimately are about making sure that we can continue to assist those that we train and coach to achieve the results that they want, in order to make their goals a reality.
It struck us that in fact we are like two ‘parts’ who each are working toward the same destination but just on two different roads.
So we made a bold and brave decision (which certainly has pushed us both out of our comfort zones) …… as both of our companies are getting MARRIED to each other!!!
This will enable us to work as a stronger team to develop even more exciting and new training courses, products and services for our previous, current and future coaching clients and students. They do say that two heads are better than one, don’t they?
Whilst some people are looking forward to winding down over the festive period, Kirsty and I are excited about organising our ‘big day’ and will be working our socks off to get cracking with collaborating, re-designing and improving what we have both being doing and got planned for next year.
So what does that mean for you …. Quite simply it means that if you are a previous student, client, contact, friend or associate of either Ab Intra Solutions or Excelr8 – then we welcome you into our new, bigger, fresher and even more transformational ‘family’. Expect to hear more about some new exciting things we have in the pipeline, which we know you will be interested in!!!
If you haven’t yet had the chance to work with either of us yet, then the good news is that in the future when the time is right for us to cross paths, you get the best of both worlds!! We both promise to keep on delivering you the best value adding and ‘life/business-changing’ journey in all our future training courses, coaching sessions and products.
We have also made some changes to our previously advertised course schedule to reflect our new partnership, so please do look at the new dates we have for 2010.
We look forward to working with you in the New Year!!!
Kind regards

You do know that you are the 'Captain' of your life, don't you? So here is a little message from a fellow 'Captain' with some friendly advice!!!
What are the 'treasure chests' that you are going towards on your journey? Remember that even though on the open seas, there may be storms and icebergs, with constant focus and keeping your eyes opened - you can reach your various destinations in front of you.
Enjoy Guy Fawke's Night and have another explosive week!!!
The key to acheiving success in your goals - no matter if they are big or small - is to have perseverance!!!
"Perseverance is not a long race, it is lots of small races, ran one after another." - Walter Elliot
Think about what things you are doing this week that may be seeming a little bit challenging at times. How much easier will it be if you just keep pushing yourself just that little bit more and focusing on tackling it one step at a time.
Come with us to the year 2014 and ask yourself - what will I be doing? It's all about focus and going for your goals! So take the time you need this week, to now, take 5 minutes to decide what you are heading towards!
Have a great week

Pay It Forward this week

Hi,
It's that time again - Monday is here!!! Did you have a good weekend? The weekend in the Sharif household involved a lot of relaxing and also some wonderful baking (thanks to my lovely wife!).
I'm a firm believer that you can learn lots of really valuable lessons from so many different sources. Recently, I've been watching some old and new films that were recommended to me, as having a somewhat inspirations flavour to them. Well last week, the film 'Pay it Forward' has it's premiere in our living room and what a film it was!! To me it was the kind of film that really makes you stop and think!!
"Think of an idea to change our world and put it into action." - Pay It Forward - The Movie
So for our weekly dose of inspiration, I suggest that you set yourself a little project, which can be really small in time and energy, however can make such a big difference to yourself and others.
What is one idea that you can act upon - which will change YOUR world this week in some positive way?
Then when you have acted upon it - do it all again but this time focus upon doing something that will have a massive benefit to 3 other people in your life - without asking for anything in return.
Have a truly fantastic week.
Kind regards

What's the difference between reality & imagination?

Hi,
Welcome to another Monday in your life! Whether you are busy working away or taking advantage of the Bank Holiday - I'm sure you are having a great day!
I have had a great start to the week, as I finally pressed 'submit' to our VAT return! That means I can now get my teeth stuck into some more fun and interesting projects. There is a lot happening over here and we look forward to sharing all the exciting news over the coming weeks and months!!
This week's dose of inspiration is focused upon using your imagination!!! Do you know that your unconscious mind can't tell the difference between what is real and what is imagined?!?! That's a scary thought, don't you think?
If you think about it then, if you are ever holding 'negative'' pictures or thoughts in your mind, do you feel really happy and over the moon at that moment of time? - of course you don't!!
"Microsoft's only factory asset is the human imagination." - Bill Gates
When I work with our NLP students and clients - one of the key and simple things we talk about is - to pay attention to what you are focusing upon. As you can change your focus and thoughts instantly and in turn this will change how you are feeling!
So this week, I set you a challenge, which I know you will enjoy. Close your eyes right now and imagine in great detail all the great results and events you are going to have this week!! Remember this is your movie or picture, so create it in the positive way that you want it. Then have fun going out there and making the reality come true!
Have another amazing week.
Kind regards
Osmaan
Create yourself a magical week

Hi,
Welcome to another exciting week!!!! Did you have a good weekend? Did you manage to take some time to re-charge your batteries so that you are well prepared for this new week? Well after having delivered our 19th NLP Practitioner course last week in Edinburgh, I decided to really take things easy and so had a very relaxing weekend with Shareen.
When I woke up this morning, with the radio telling me it was time to get up - I listened to the news reporter talking about a very special anniversary today!! Can you believe that it was exactly 40 years ago today that the first man stepped onto the moon?
It still blows my mind when I think about how after setting such a massive and groundbreaking goal, which many thought was impossible, that with total perseverance it was actually achieved!!
"That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind."
Neil Armstrong
I think we can all learn from that the famous quote from Neil Armstrong, so ask yourself what giant leap are you going to take this week?
Until next week - have another fun filled and successful week!!!
