Welcome to the 7th and last episode of The Mind, Body & Spirit podcast by Health2bfree.

In this podcast, George Helou (Ep7 Coaching Academy Founder, Perth Australia) and Jenny Korten (EP7 Certified Coach) introduce Step 7 of the Empowerment for Purpose in 7 Steps Programme.

EP7 consists of a structured methodology of going through the process of finding who you really are, by focusing on key circumstances in your current life, and deconstructing them to reveal the beliefs and principles that you live by, thus causing you to think, feel and act the way you do. Now that is the power of knowledge at work!

The conclusions that are revealed after going through the personal assessment process are there to guide you to understand who you are and are the trigger for the journey of moving from an old version to a new version of you. The Personal Assessment Process

I met with a client last week,

and with her permission, I am sharing her story:

She has been working at a law firm for the last seven years and her ambition has always been to become a partner. The environment she works in consists of over 70% male versus 30% female and according to her she has to work twice as hard to prove that she is as good or better than a male partner.

She was so determined to become one of the few female partners of the firm that she said “I had to put aside the soft feminine side of my personality, and show forcefulness, sometimes be seen as being ruthless in making decisions. Think like a man!”

This decision of denying who she really is, what she really stands for took a toll on her, with the result that before she was even considered as

Our perception

I recently did a presentation of the UFIND workshop to a corporate client and I used their whiteboard to display a few key notes pertinent to the workshop to facilitate my presentation.
Straight after the presentation, I was asked by a personal assistant if I wanted to erase the notes off the whiteboard. Her comment was:
“In case anyone else comes and copies your notes and your contents- we had complaints
before!”
This comment made me realise how much we tend to perceive our lives as being a ‘dog eat dog’ world.
From childhood, we are programmed to believe that resources are scarce, with comments
such as: “there is only limited space for top universities and so many applications!
Competition is going to be very tough”
It is therefore not surprising that we grow up believing that when we take, we are reducing
our competitor’s resources and vice

After my last post on the Principle of Abundance, I felt it made sense to follow with the Principle of Competition. How often do we feel a loss of our self-worth when we lose? Many of us would answer “far too often!” We become disempowered by competition when we attach self-worth to it.

How often do we deliberately keep ‘valuable information’ to ourselves for fear that the competition will beat us at our own game? Sounds familiar?

“In reality fear of your competitors will only shift your focus and reduce your self-confidence”

Competition is about personal success. How you win is by achieving something you have never achieved before. True competition is with yourself, and when you beat others, it is feedback for you to know that you are reaching new levels of achievement. Competition may be within the workplace, a sport field, anywhere! Regardless of the arena, empowerment comes

The principle of Causality is about understanding that absolutely everything that happens has a root cause. And that the cause is an effect of another cause, which continues down in a chain effect, until we uncover the primary cause. Too often we are too quick to jump to a conclusion and miss the REAL CAUSE of a problem.

To help us determine the root cause of a context, we must always ask ourselves, “What must we believe for us to think, feel and act that way?” Once we start to confront those beliefs, we can determine whether they raise our self-worth or cut it down.

The Instant Gratification Syndrome

With the arrival of social media and Google platform we now live in a world where we have access to answers and information at our fingertips. Because we are now programmed to expect answers to our questions immediately (a click away),
