Life is about infinite possibilities. Are you clear about the one you're in the process of manifesting?
LIFE DESIGNS ~ INNER FOCUSING® is a pragmatic, structured, and intuitive process of in-depth self-awareness similar to focusing the lens of a camera for the purpose of clarifying an image. In our context, this image is:
✨ WHO YOU ARE as a unique individual;
✨ WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO with your life; and
✨ How to MANIFEST Yourself in the World with INTEGRITY, POWER, COMPASSION & STYLE.
I feel empowered, seen, and heard. I feel an immense sense of self that I want to nurture and nourish with the awareness I have acquired during the process. I feel powerful - powerful without the need for external validation. Inner Focusing has changed the way I see myself. I leave with an immense sense of gratitude for undergoing that process and I look forward to more digging with my study buddies.

Make Better, Faster, more Intuitive Decisions
Being aware, making decisions, and doing stuff are things we do all the time. But it’s like for breathing, thinking, living, or loving: we assume we’re good at it simply because we’ve always done it this way – but is it really so?

Empower your Creative Process
Behind the drama of emotions, actions, reactions, and consequences that make up the bulk of your existence are the thoughts and imaginations you entertain in your mind.
You Design your Life in the Workshop of your CONSCIOUSNESS before enacting it in the world.

Cultivate Personal Power
When you have a better sense of who you are, you know what’s really important for you, and your heart feels good about it. You are internally focused, clear, confident, and ready for life; you know what you have to do; you trust your intuitions and capabilities; you have will, conviction, energy, and are ready to learn, engage, and take action.
This alignment is a state of Inner coherence that we refer to as ‘being internally focused’ or Inner Focusing.

Coherence
| kə(ʊ)ˈhɪər(ə)ns, kə(ʊ)ˈhɪərəns | noun
A state of consciousness in which you are Effortlessly Present, Accurately Focused, & Wholeheartedly Involved. Coherent energy is stable, relaxed, & expansive. It can be focused swiftly. It moves without strain & triggers synchronicities & synergies. It supports emotional balance, resilience, sustained creativity, & ‘FLOW’. You feel good because you're in harmony with yourself & you contribute value to the world around you.
" Inner Focusing had an extremely positive impact on DFID's staff. They told me it's the best training we've ever had! Our training budget is very generous which means staff has lots of training opportunities, so you can really feel proud of this comment! And as for me, it really changed my life!

How it Works
YOU have the Answers ~ We have the Questions.
Answers are very useful things, but the problem with them is that they only work once. Life’s moving all the time; people change; circumstances evolve – and so do you … and your best answers end up becoming your favorite problems. Questions last longer. When you have a good question, you have a little device that can help you generate all the answers you want to respond to the needs of the ever-changing NOW. The answers are obvious when you know where to look 🙂
✨ How do you cope when things do not happen as you planned, and how do you plan when everything around you is uncertain?
✨ Do you remain focused on what really matters, and stay away from unwanted distractions and unnecessary complications?
✨ How confident are you about the dominant factors influencing your decisions?
✨ How well do you handle your own thoughts, worries, insecurities, and emotions?
✨ How much are you 'internally consistent', i.e. aware of what you have to do, confident you can do it, and empowered to do it?
Through Inner Focusing you will ...

Everything is Changing ~ Am I?
OPENING SESSION ~ THE CHANGING WORLD AROUND US
1 STEP ~ 60mn
In this first step, you will gain a clearer understanding of the context in which we’re living today, and discover how to build a reliable Personal Compass that allows you to keep Focus and Direction in a world of ‘too much of everything.'

MODULE ONE ~ KNOW YOUR CORE
3 STEPS ~ 90mn
THE ART OF CENTERING & ‘BEING’ FOCUSED
Learn the Art of 'Relaxed Alertness' to be more present to your life, access deeper knowing, and remain stable when things do not go as expected.

THE FIVE ESSENTIALS OF SELF LEADERSHIP
Your decisions and emotions are the product of an inner conversation between what you feel, think, and want. When those voices argue, you’re confused, restless, and paralysed; when they come together, you’re clear and focused - you have Power.
In this session, you will:▪️ Recognise the difference between the existential, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of your life;▪️ Identify the main 'voices' that make your Self Talk, and become more aware of how your own thoughts, feelings, and emotions can be manipulated from the outside or focused from within;▪️ Learn to cultivate inner harmony and inside-out alignment to give your actions all the impact you wish they can have.
Self Awareness is knowing your story & the fact that you are not your story.
MODULE TWO ~ YOUR JOURNEY SO FAR
2 STEPS ~ 2hrs
MY STORY
To effectively plan for your future you need to be aware of the momentum of your past because unless you decide otherwise, your future will tend to be a remake of your past. In this session, you will:▪️ Make an objective review of your life, identify recurring patterns in your choices and actions, and get a sense of where your current ‘trajectory’ is leading you;▪️ Practice the mental positioning of the ‘detached observer’ to release old emotions, let go of regrets, and empower yourself to make new choices;▪️ Learn the five principles of ‘Flow’ to sail through your existence with greater ease, effectiveness and grace.

We dread change when it's imposed upon us; we desire it when we're empowered to initiate it.

1 STEP ~ 60mn
HARNESSING CHANGE & PREPARING FOR BREAKTHROUGH

Personal Power is about being clear about who you are; why you’re doing what you’re doing; & how you’re doing it.
MODULE FOUR ~ SOUL FORCE

In this step you will be guided to envision how would you and your life look like if you were deciding to be true to yourself, and organise your energies around your Values and Purpose.

In this session, you will:▪️ Understand why the traditional approach of analysing or ‘uprooting’ the root causes of unwanted behaviour does not work;▪️ Realise that the real barriers blocking you are not outside yourself - they’re your own habits and the inconsistencies/gaps between who you are and how you behave;▪️ Learn THE ONE QUESTION that enables you to transform behaviour and emotions in the thick of action; maintain self control in crisis … and never be caught off guard again! 🙂
