New Beginnings

Hello!

Wish you all a Happy 2017!!

Its so good to see even though i have not been as active as i would like to, so many of you still visit the blog. Definitely inspires me to write more often. Love to you all. 

2016 has by far been one of the most insightful years of my life. Spent a TREMENDOUS amount of time investing in myself and reflecting inwards,  just absorbing all the insights and learning, being with the knowledge, making it my own. This is the first time I didn't feel a need to verbalise it immediately or document it. Just let it be - serving as the foundation of the new person I am transforming into. I do believe SUCCESS is not something you Achieve, its WHO YOU BECOME. 

Will share the key insights with you all in bite size chunks in the coming months. 

As far back as i can remember in my childhood,  I have had this huge need to contribute to others. A lot of my thoughts always revolved around how can i make the lives of people around me better? How can I help solve their problems, or how can i make him/her believe in them self enough to believe he/she deserves love. 

That is what probably made me mediator in many situations. Even as a child I was mediating between adults. Friends and family sought me out with their most private issues for counsel. 

We had our 20 year school reunion early in 2016, and some friends recollected my inadvertently coaching them at some key moments in their lives, and how it helped them make better choices. (Neither they or me realised it was coaching at that point, but many years of life experiences later, they were grateful for those moments. I am grateful too) 

(This also led to sometimes being extra nice to the point of being a pushover, lessons from which I have shared that in my earlier blog post here )

That is probably what led me to have such a profound spiritual journey so early in my life and led me to my Spiritual Master, Sri Sri and Art of Living. There is a huge need to contribute to others on a large scale, but one at a time. Slowly and Steadily.

That also led me to my profession of Human Resources, specialising in Training, & Leadership Development.

And this need has led to another expression of my calling - Coaching :)

Have started my own coaching practice last year. 

Leadership Coaching as well as Life/Personal Growth coaching. 

The process of becoming certified to coach itself has been a life-transforming experience for me. Learning from the Maestros, Peter J Reding (Founder of Coach for Life) and Santhosh Babu (CEO, OD Alternatives). 

The learning space these 2 gentlemen created for us, was like a warm cocoon where each of us participants could be completely safe; safe enough to strip down all the masks we were wearing (because of pre-conditioning and limiting beliefs) and emerge our own unique beautiful selves. 

I really believe that each of us need and crave a space like this. 

A space where we are fully accepted for who we are. 

A space where we are nurtured without any external agenda.

A space where there is no critique, rather a strong belief in our resourcefulness

A space where there is utmost respect and care

A space in which we can reconnect with our own magnificent self (the way the creator created us)

A space where there is no advice - giving, no one telling you they know what you should do with your life better than you do. 

Its only in a safe and secure space like this, can we strengthen ourselves to create a life that feels fulfilled as a result of manifesting our own highest potential. No feeling in the world matches this feeling, of living a life in alignment with your own life purpose. 

This is the space a coach offers. A beautiful sacred space -  just for you. Once you experience this space, you will realise its like finding a rare treasure. 

A Coach is different from a Therapist, a Counsellor, a Psychiatrist or a Mentor. (Another post on that later)

All successful people across professions have coaches in some form or another. Its become quite fashionable now to have a coach i daresay :) :)

I am grateful for my clients who are committed to taking responsibility for their own lives and are taking steps to turn their dreams into reality. Am grateful to make a difference and be of service. 

If you are keen to explore coaching, do write to me at alpa.a.teli@gmail.com. Tell me why you would like to be coached. 

I promise to do a complimentary 45 minute telephonic session with all of those who write in, at a mutually convenient date and time. 

It will help you experience some of the coaching magic for your own life. 

Looking forward to the opportunity to be of service. 

Love

Alpa
