SO YOU WANT TO BE A LIFE COACH? Information Evening
Are you attracted to Life Coaching as a fulfilling career?
Coaching can be confusing profession to enter so this is an opportunity to find out ‘from the horse’s mouth’ what qualities are needed to become a coach, what trainings and accreditations you should think about, and how to build a business. You can also discover the day-to-day reality of being a coach. I respond directly to people’s questions so your burning issues will be addressed. There are also loads of handouts with insider information on coaching to help you decide on your next step.
Here’s what previous participants said:
“I found the evening immensely informative and of great help in clarifying the challenges and opportunities of life coaching as a career. Jan was insightful, responsive, and generous with her time. I would warmly recommend the evening to anyone interested in finding out more about life coaching.” – Jay Woolrich
“You covered a wide range of subjects all supported by excellent handouts. I particulary appreciated your willingness to share your own experience.” – Katrin Hochberg
Venue: St. Andrews, Bristol (full address will be sent to you)
Cost: £20 on booking your place
Next date: Wednesday 1st February 7 p.m. — 9:45 p.m.

VOICING YOUR PURPOSE: Discover your life purpose through dialogue, imagination and song with Jan Castle and singer-composer Helen Chadwick.

What are you living for?
This weekend workshop will help you explore your unique sense of life purpose through the power of the written, spoken and singing voice — and you don’t need to be a singer, really! Together, Helen and I will lead you through an enjoyable mix of thought-provoking and creative activities including singing inspirational texts to original music, to help you:

  • explore what really matters to you
  • identify what you want to accomplish in life
  • express and shape your sense of life purpose.

You’ll also have a lot of fun, meet some like-minded people, play, think deeply and return home inspired and clearer about your way forwards. Here’s what previous participants said:
“Very special” … “Inspiring” … “Wisdom with a light touch.”
“Gentle, gifted, wonderful facilitation”… “The singing was not at all scary!”
“Fun and effective, 10/10 — I have a ‘why’ to pursue.”
This is an innovative combination of the empowering and enriching practices of singing and coaching. And it’s not only for singers — everyone welcome, no matter your ability. Limited to 14 places.
Helen Chadwick is a singer and composer who leads empowering singing workshops in many parts of the world. For more about Helen see: www.helenchadwick.com
