Well August is here already, I really don't know where the year has gone. It has been such a fantastic year for everyone here at Noble Manhattan The launch of our new brochure and developing a successful presence in Romania are just a couple of our many achievements. This autumn is looking like it's going to be one of the busiest autumns we have ever had.
We are going to be running our first ever residential in Romania, we're launching in Poland in October, we are bringing out our own NLP practitioner training programme in partnership with the Topher Morrison organisation, and we are also launching a whole new certificate in coach training, not only that we are also launching new two-day workshops in India called "The Making of a Coach" which is being sponsored by the AIMA (all India management Association) and there is more, but it will only bore you :-)
I was also honoured and delighted to be part of
The Global Coaching Convention which took place in Dublin early in July. This was the first ever global coming together of some of the major coaching players in the world. There were over 50 people from as far afield as Japan, Argentina, Chile, Sweden, USA, Canada etc.
The work that the group did over a seven-day period was magnificent. The culmination really of my dream to bring all the strands of coaching together from round the world to form a universally agreed series of principles and core coaching competencies and definitions.
As things unfold I will be sharing the group's findings with you over the weeks to come.
A hugely exciting time for the world of coaching.
Not without its challenges though, but then again nothing worthwhile ever is.
As you read this I am hoping to be on holiday. (I usually take August off) I'm looking forward to spending a lot of time with my family and also doing a lot of kayaking and Kite surfing with my boys.
Really looking forward to engaging with you all from September onwards
Warmest

Accepting Yourself Unconditionally
How Are You Treated By Others?
Self-acceptance begins in infancy, with the influence of your parents and siblings and other important people.
Your own level of self-acceptance is determined largely by how well you feel you are accepted by the important people in your life.
Your attitude toward yourself is determined largely by the attitudes that you think other people have toward you. When you believe that other people think highly of you, your level of self-acceptance and self-esteem goes straight up.
The best way to build a healthy personality involves understanding yourself and your feelings.
Let the Light Shine In
This is achieved through the simple exercise of self-disclosure. For you to truly understand yourself, or to stop being troubled by things that may have happened in your past, you must be able to disclose yourself to at least one person. You have to be able to get those things off your chest. You must rid yourself of those thoughts and feelings by revealing them to someone who won’t make you feel guilty or ashamed for what has happened.
Understand What Makes You Tick
The second part of personality development follows from self-disclosure, and it’s called self-awareness. Only when you can disclose what you’re truly thinking and feeling to someone else can you become aware of those thoughts and emotions If the other person simply listens to you without commenting or criticizing, you have the opportunity to become more aware of the person you are and why you do the things you do. You begin to develop perspective, or what the Buddhists call “detachment.”
Be Honest With Yourself
Now we come to the good part. After you’ve gone through self-disclosure to self-awareness, you arrive at self-acceptance. You accept yourself for the person you are, with good points and bad points, with strengths and weaknesses, and with the normal frailties of a human being. When you develop the ability to stand back and look at yourself honestly, and to candidly admit to others that you may not be perfect but you’re all you’ve got, you start to enjoy a heightened sense of self-acceptance.
Do An Inventory of Your Accomplishments
A valuable exercise for developing higher levels of self-acceptance involves doing an inventory of yourself. In doing this inventory, your job is to accentuate the positive and minimize the negative.
Think of your unique talents and abilities. Think of your core skills, the things that you do exceptionally well that account for your success in your profession and in your personal life right now.
Think About Your Future
Think about your future possibilities and the fact that your potential is virtually unlimited. You can do what you want to do and go where you want to go. You can be the person you want to be. You can set large and small goals and make plans and move step-by-step, progressively toward their realization. There are no obstacles to what you can accomplish except the obstacles that you create in your mind.
Action Exercises
Here are three steps you can take immediately to put these ideas into action:
First, sit down with your spouse, or a good friend, and tell him or her about something that is troubling you and is still causing you unhappiness.
Second, develop perspective on your problem by standing back from it and imagining that it was happening to someone else. What advice would you give to that person?
Third, think continually about the good experiences and accomplishments you have enjoyed in the past. Remind yourself regularly that you are a pretty good person and you’ve done a lot of good things in your life.
