Hello :firstname: - I hope you're very well.
Summer Special Offer
Last summer I ran a very special offer leading up to the Summer solstice. Half price coaching. HALF PRICE! I'm repeating that today. Any full coaching you book and pay for before the end of the summer solstice,
you'll pay half price for. So - £30 a session, £110 for a pack of four. No catch. You still need to start by booking a £10 initial consultation, but you get the price of that back if you book your coaching the same day, and the coaching itself is half price. Up until midnight on June 21st.
These Announcements
If you joined my newsletter list since Christmas - when I last wrote - this is your first "announcement". These are updates I write manually from time to time about things I hope will interest you. Usually, that means insights from coaching practice, special offers or requests for your opinions.
Many people don't realise that the "ordinary newsletters" (there are 31 of them), though written by me, are sent out automatically by our database system, once a fortnight.
My Adventure
I've been busy with a new corporate client. We work in care homes nationally, training staff to cultivate happiness in residents - most of whom are old and frail and many who have dementia too.
How on Earth do you do that? Well, it turns out you help them to happiness in much the same way as you help anyone else to happiness. Though some things are not going to be possible, very many of them are.
At first I was trepidatious. My mum died a while back, but the memory of her frail frame towards her end is still powerful in my mind, and I wondered if working in the care homes would be grim for me. Well, I held onto my coach's take on fear - that it's False Expectations Appearing Real, and of course, it proved true in this case too.
There is sadness in these homes, but far more dominant is FUN. It's difficult to believe, but it's true! I could go on. A lot! But suffice it to say that this work has been enormously rewarding for me. For you - I wrote a BLOG article about the engine which drives this program - the work on human happiness from US academic psychologist Martin Seligman. See the leader "The Science of Human Happiness" below and click the link if you're interested.
What Else?
Despite this work, the BLOG's been quite busy - see below. And the website now supports payment for all products and services by Google Checkout (as always) but now Pay Pal and BACS too.
Oh and as an experiment, we've put ads on the site. How do you feel about that? I'd be interested in your views. You can click the link at the top of this email to check them out.
So here come da blogs, and then a goodbye from me that the end of this email. Subscribers to my Facebook
Page will have seen these some time ago. You're welcome to join
me.
