As we marvel at the Winter Olympic athletes and their achievements, we see dedication, commitment and realization of potential. High levels of performance in a sport, career or in your personal life bring many rewards. 

What common denominators do we see at extreme levels of performance?  We see structured support and accountability along with key information.  Talent and ability are present in everyone, what sets the top performers apart? They have coaches to support them specifically in key areas for success towards their goals. They are accountable to their personal and professional goals and create the support structures necessary for attaining these goals.

Teens have the Opportunity to Access Online Coaching With Top Authors and Experts

[Lisle, IL] – January 12, 2010 –Certified Compass Coach Jennifer Weggeman, M.A., an independent business owner at the personal development social network and life coaching company, officially announced today the launch of Compass for Teens, an online coaching service available for Teen girls. Compass for Teens is designed to help teens understand that they are valuable, beautiful, and that they have something significant to offer the world. This service will inspire, empower, and connect teens with their goals, their passions, and their purpose through professional coaching and online personal growth and development. The teen program is available to any teen interested in improving their self-esteem, gaining confidence, and finding their purpose.

Details about the program are available at http://www.mylifecompass.com/coachjenn

Compass for Teens will feature life coaches, authors, and experts that are qualified and experienced in coaching teens. The first featured expert is Debra Gano, a model, actress, author, self-esteem coach, and founder of The Heartlight Girls, an organization dedicated to the empowerment of preteens, teens, and women. Through her Heartlight Girls book series, classes, and speaking events, Debra connects girls and women to the essence of who they are, building a foundation of self-worth “from the inside out,” at the core, where self-esteem begins.

Teen members of Compass will listen to a short MP3 of coaching with Debra Gano for a few minutes a day - 5 days a week. They can also chat with a life coach two to three times per month to talk about what is going on in their life. They can also join the Compass social network (Compass Personal Development Network or PDN) to connect with their friends, share their goals, and join groups and events. Teens will have access to an online journal, weekly to-do lists, contests, and more. They can also upload pictures, videos, blogs, and podcasts.

“We are thrilled to add life coaching for teens to our lineup of resources. To help a teen understand just how valuable she is can alter the course of her entire life. So many people wish they ‘would have known back then what they know now’. Compass Coaching for Teens is designed to give them hope and clarity about their future. Our community is thrilled about the possibilities when our teens understand just how valuable they are.” says Kim Fulcher, Compass Founder and CEO.

I’d like to share this article written by Scott J. Woodley, Ph.D. to kick start your new year and learn how to turn your beliefs around. 

As children, we learn to believe certain things about ourselves, others, and the world based on what authority figures tell us and the stories we tell ourselves.  For example, if you ever had a parent or teacher angrily say to you “You’re a bad boy (or girl), or You’re wrong!”, instead of understanding this to mean that you behavior did not please them, you may interpret this to mean that “I am bad, I am wrong.”  Other painful core beliefs include I’m unloved, I’m unlovable, People can’t be trusted, Money doesn’t grow on trees (resources are scarce), Women are inferior, Life is a struggle, etc.

These beliefs become internalized and color all of our perceptions and actions.  For example, if you subconsciously believe that Life is a struggle, you will focus on struggle, see struggle, and struggle in your life. Certain core beliefs are often passed down through generations and become firmly established in families and entire cultures.  If we never question these beliefs, we will act out of them during our whole lives and live much smaller than our possibilities.

In my own life, I can still see the head nun of my grade school shaking her finger at me in anger, the spit coming out of the corner of her mouth and yelling, “you’re a bad boy.”  These beliefs were reinforced when I was taught the concept of original sin and every time I  had to go to confession. “I’m a sinner, I’m unworthy, I’m a bad person.”  When I  unintentionally act in ways that create suffering, the script gets triggered automatically.  Since I’m a ‘grown up’ now and the nuns are long gone, it’s up to me as an adult to work with the ‘inner child’ who still believes those things.

I’ve found a way to work with these limiting beliefs that is simple and powerful.  It is similar to ‘The Work’ of Byron Katie.  Since we have held many of these beliefs for most of our lives, it may take conscious effort over time to dislodge them from your psyche and replace them with more accurate and expansive beliefs.  The good news is that the more you practice, the faster, easier, and more automatic positive change becomes.

A PRAYER FOR WORLD PEACE
 
I know there is but One Mind, which is the Mind of God, in which all people live and move and have their being.

I know there is a Divine pattern for humanity and within this pattern there is Infinite harmony and peace, cooperation, unity and mutual helpfulness.

I know that the mind of each person, being one with the Mind of God, shall discover the method, the way and the means best fitted to permit the flow of Divine Love between individuals and nations.

I know there shall be a free interchange of ideas, of cultures, of spiritual concepts, of ethics, of educational systems and scientific discoveries - for all good belongs to all alike.

I know that, because the Divine Mind has created us all, we are bound together in one Infinite and perfect unity.

In bringing about World Peace, I know that all people and all nations will remain individual, but unified for the common purpose of promoting peace, happiness, harmony, and prosperity.

I know that deep within every person the Divine Pattern of perfect peace is already implanted.

I now declare that in each person and in leaders of thought everywhere this Divine Pattern moves into action and form, to the end that all nations and all people shall live together in peace, harmony, and prosperity forever. So it is now.
 
—Dr. Ernest Holmes
