LIFE COACHING OVERVIEW

By David Aycrigg BSocP   Life / Relationships Coach

Thank you for your interest.

I am including here 1.) A brief resume about myself, and my qualifications, and experience, as a Life Coach; 2.) A very basic overview of what Life Coaching is, and what it offers; and 3.) Several testimonials from clients.

1.) I have been in training, since 2003, with the Satvatove Institute Inc., based in Alachua, Florida. (www. Satvatove.org). Dr. David Wolf PhD, the Founder and co-Director of the Institute, is a highly acclaimed Facilitator, Counsellor Trainer and Coach. He is also my Trainer and Coach.

From 1999 through 2004, I trained with Landmark Education Ltd., Auckland, as a presenter, facilitator, team leader, coach and introduction leader. At the end of 2004, I completed my Bachelor Degree in Social Practice (BSocP: Counselling, Social Work & Community Development) at UNITEC, Auckland.

Since 1971, I have been teaching, mentoring and counselling within my community, and internationally. I have coaching clients here in New Zealand, and abroad. My wife, Belinda (a teacher and playwright) and I have been based in Katikati, since 1998. Now in Auckland, I am building my coaching practice further, especially in Relationships and Couples Coaching.

2.) What is Life Coaching?

Just as a successful athlete hires a coach to help him/her break through to achieve remarkable results, so people employ a Life Coach to go beyond limitations, and claim satisfying and exciting results in important areas of their lives.

To work with a Coach means to have the sounding board, the support and the caring challenge required in order to be who, and how, you want to be: to achieve your goals. Most of us know about setting goals, or resolutions, but also about giving up, and slipping into frustration and hopelessness.

Accepting Coaching means connecting more deeply with your own “fountain of truth”, your own innate strength and resilience, beyond discouragement and quiet desperation. Whether it be in your work, your career or your finances; your study, your relationships, your health or confidence or spirituality, Coaching is a potent means for “taking the bull by the horns” and achieving the satisfying results you want in your life.

If you like, please refer to the Satvatove website for more understanding of my approach, and phone or e-mail me with any questions you may have. I always observe the highest standard of professional confidentiality.

For those interested, I offer a complimentary, no obligation, 45 minute consultation which provides three things: 1.) an experience of what Coaching is, and if it is right for you; 2.) a taste of what is available for you from having Coaching with me; and 3.) a strategy for achieving it. You’ll get a glimpse of what is possible for you, beyond where you are at present.

3.) Testimonials from clients:

“As soon as you meet David, you sense his keen interest in people. He has a sincere desire to help others with life challenges, and his deep perceptiveness allows penetration to the hidden core of a problem. Because I know that he is trustworthy, I can tell him anything! He has significantly assisted me by his insightfulness.”  B. Reid  Katikati, N.Z.

“This man really hears me! Do you know what that does for me? I think it must be the most valuable gift in the world, to be really heard, understood and accepted. What it does for me is it allows me to understand and accept myself, which is the true bedrock foundation for any substantial achievement, or deep satisfaction in life. Then when the foundation is solid, he reminds me of my power, my infinite potential. And then I soar!”  B.M.  Auckland, N.Z.

 “David’s highly effective communication & counseling skills, along with his fun, dynamic personality, provide positively wonderful transformations in life – he comes highly recommended.  C.R.   Auckland, N.Z.

“David is ‘three-in-one’ for me. He is like a psychologist and a psychiatrist for me (both of which are very expensive), and he is my life coach. In fact, he is ‘four-in-one’, because he is also a spiritual guide!”  J.L. Tauranga, N.Z.

References are also available.

I am inspired to support you in achieving your dreams, in a safe, respectful, professional and fully confidential environment. For me, it is an exciting, challenging and deeply rewarding privilege.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely, with regards,
