The Lesley Strachan Show

With the right life coaching tools and techniques, you can find more time ⌚ in your life to do whatever you want.

It's not always easy to find time for yourself is it?

Does it make you feel frustrated, it does for me? 🫤

We all need time to do what makes us happy don't we?

I'm in your corner and work often makes time hard to come by for me as well.

So, before we do anything else let's spend a few minutes thinking about what you'd do with more free time.

-What would you be doing with your family and friends in the free time you’ve created for yourself?

-What hobbies are you pursuing?

-What kinds of vacations would you take?

-What do you do for fun?

-If you currently don’t have any free time, how can you create some?

-What would you do if you had some free time?

Then find photos or images of all the things you want for this area and add them to your vision board (see videos 1-5 in this series on my YouTube channel).

I'm the UK's #1 trainer in Jack Canfield's Success Principles and I've coached hundreds of people, of all ages, the techniques to discover what they want and how to achieve it.

How often do you “see” your big vision? Or maybe you don't have a vision yet?

I’m talking about your ideal #vision for the life you most want to live – the physical trappings (your dream home & car, the clothes you want to   wear) – as well as how you want to spend your time and how you want to FEEL each day as you live your life and do the work you do.

If you don’t “see” this vision in your mind on a regular basis, it’s going to be difficult for you to ensure that your daily actions move you closer to making that vision a reality.

The good news is, there is a simple tool that you can use to that helps you see your vision every day and keep it top of mind so you can make sure you’re moving in the direction of your goals.

Today I’m going to tell you how to create your own vision board that works…

We all have areas in our life when #lifecoaching can help.

Whether it be your #finances, ##job or #career, how you spend your free time, your #health, #relationships with other people, your own   #personaldevelopment or giving back in your #community.

Some of my vision board looks crazy at the moment and a lot of it has come true.

Dream big and create moments where you can move forward because you only live once!

Take a minute now, close your eyes and let your mind give you images of what your ideal would look like if you could have exactly what you wanted.

How much happier do you feel knowing what's possible?

Not sure what to do about it next?

Whatever is on your mind that you'd like to sort, fear not, I have a gift for you.

I’m really looking forward to hearing more so welcome Leslie.

She also runs online Success Principles workshops for women all over the world which focus on helping people find out what it is that they really want. 

Does your life feel over-complicated? 

Then it’s probably impacting your life in more ways than you realise.

And maybe you aren’t sure what to do next…

Today I’m going to introduce you to Jack Canfield’s book The Success Principles: How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be.

And that is what these life coaching tips are about…designing and creating the life you want to live (both professionally and personally).

Let me tell you why I am so passionate about The Success Principles.

“As a result of losing my way in life several times I took Jack’s Breakthrough to Success Training several years ago and then became a Certified Trainer.”

I have since taught these principles to hundreds of people, written a book, quit a job I hated and started my own business.

Over the next series of emails I’ll be teaching you a “system of success” that always works when you always work the system.

It is like knowing the combination to a lock.

It doesn’t matter if you are young or old, what gender you are, what your background or culture is, whether or not you graduated college or university, have a high IQ or a low IQ; if you know the combination to the lock, the lock has to open.

The problem is that some of you are missing some of the numbers or you have the numbers in the wrong order.

If you don’t have the right combination in the right order, it doesn’t matter how hard you work, the lock won’t open.

That’s where The Success Principles will help you.

Welcome to this series of life coaching tips because I know you can find direction in life with coaching programs that are proven to work.

The   Success Principles course

As more people experience the power of The Success Principles and my courses get   bigger and bigger the next series are a little different.

I know your time is limited so instead of set course dates my next course is ready when   you are – you can start any time you like.

Don’t miss it!

Hi,

I’m about to say something that might shock you.

Here goes:

As Carl Jung once said, “Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.”

If someone annoys or frustrates you, it’s probably because they represent something you don’t like about yourself.

For example, if you often feel a lot of anger or frustration over what you see as other people’s ignorance, maybe your own fear of ignorance (or being perceived as ignorant or unintelligent) is the root source of your anger.

Or, if you find it very difficult to trust in other people’s good intentions, maybe it’s because you’re worried that YOU aren’t deserving of other people’s trust.

So if you’ve been finding yourself experiencing a lot of negative thoughts about the world around you lately, I encourage you to dig into that and explore what it says about you!

Chances are you will uncover a valuable opportunity to release an old story that’s been holding you back from living your best life.

To help you do that, this week I’m sharing some powerful strategies on how to shift the way you think about yourself and the world, so you can cultivate the kind of confident and success-focused mindset you need to achieve your goals and create a life you love.

What is a life coach?

I always get asked this question and there are several definitions of what a life coach is. So, the best advice I can offer you is to do some research of your own wherever you live because we’re all different. The first thing to do is to identify what you want help with, and then look for a life coach.

My passion as a life coach is to find out what you want in life, even if you don’t know right now. Then I guide you towards the right tools and techniques that are relevant to you. When you have them you will be able to find your direction in life. Adults and teenagers have similar problems and today’s blog discusses life coaching for teenagers.

One of the biggest areas of concerns for me are teenagers. As someone who works with teenagers extensively in the UK education sector, I am dismayed at the lack of interest in life coaching for teens. There is a clear focus on academic achievement at the expense of a holistic appreciation of the individual students.

Just think if every teenager had a life coach, they could coach them to create the life they want to live. The concept of teenagers finding their identity and therefore able to make great decisions about their future is critical to engage students more in their learning.

Life coaching for teens. Life coaching for teens works and I can prove. It transforms teenagers lives and moves them from living a life without direction to being in control of their life. Once teens have a clear identity and direction in life, they are able to choose the next stage of their education with greater clarity. This leads to them engaging more with their learning because it has a purpose.

Did you know that over 70% of the teenagers I work with find it difficult to find their direction in life without guidance? It makes teens feel unheard, stuck, and frustrated.

As a life coach I think it’s100% wrong that young people should be burdened with those feelings. I strongly believe that each and everyone deserves to know where they’re going and how to get there. I was lucky in that I knew from the age of 7 what I wanted to do. I also know that along the way I’ve lost my way at times. So, I understand what it’s like.

What are The Success Principles?

The tools and techniques I use in my life coaching courses in the UK is called The Success Principles. Everyone wants to be successful—and today’s youth are no exception. The Success Principles for Teens is a roadmap for every young person. It doesn’t matter if the goal is to become a better student or athlete, start a business, make millions of pounds, or simply find guidance and direction, the principles in this book always work, if you work the principles.

The Success Principles for Teens includes 20 of the most important success strategies used by thousands of exceptional young people throughout history. With the right tools and techniques, anyone can be successful. This book will give teens the courage and the heart to get started and get ahead.

Hi, I'm Lesley Strachan

Today, let's talk about commitment!

I’m talking about your willingness to give 100 percent of yourself to accomplishing a specific goal.

When you think about the dreams you want to achieve in life – the person you want to be, the values you want to uphold, the experiences you want to have – how committed are you to making those dreams come true?

Your answer to that question will determine your level of success in life.

Because total, unyielding commitment is the only guaranteed path to manifesting your dreams. The only thing separating the people who achieve their goals from those who don’t is that the achievers never give up.

That’s why today I’d like to share one of my most powerful success principles that will help you cultivate the kind of commitment you need to achieve any goal you can imagine.

Keep listening to discover what it is…

If you commit anything less than 100% of yourself to a goal, you make it SO MUCH harder for yourself to achieve that goal! Here’s why 100% commitment is always the way to go.

What are YOU committed to achieving?

This week I encourage you to spend some time thinking about the goals you dream of achieving in your life.

During August I am committed to losing all my lockdown weight - around 10 lbs worth which seriously has to go so I can get into more of my clothes.

I've starting using my Samsung Health app on my phone to log everything I do so there's no shying away from 'reality'

Then ask yourself: Exactly HOW committed am I to achieving these things?

If your answer is anything less than 100% – and those goals are important to you – NOW is the time to make them your top priority and commit yourself completely to achieving them.

Ask yourself: What’s stopping you from giving yourself fully to your dreams?

Then do whatever you can to overcome that obstacle and free your attention and energy to focus on your goals.

Because when you stop waffling and focus yourself fully on your dreams, you will be amazed at how much easier it will be for you to make them a reality!

With love

Hi, I wanted to hop on really quickly to talk about why all teenagers should have access to a life coach

Very often, kids complain about their parents constantly nagging at them because they themselves have not taken the time to properly empower their child to do things on their own. When this happens, it can cause a lot of stress and anxiety within the family household. Therefore, some parents are now looking to a teen life coach who can aide and assist them during these times to ensure a smoother transition into adulthood.

But how can a life coach help your teenager? There are many ways a teen life coach can help your child succeed in life. Here are three of the main reasons why some parents and schools are now seeking my support.....

Hi, I wanted to hop on today to say thank you for listening to episode 2 called “What do you want” In this episode I’m going to talk about how to get what you want and put it into practice – yay!

But here’s the thing FIRST you have to take 100% responsibility for your life. You must stop blaming and complaining about everything and everybody else so that you can consciously create the life you want.

To achieve complete and full self-esteem we have to take full responsibility for our lives, for both our internal and external experiences. Often, we fall into the trap of blaming other people for how we feel and for what happens to us. We become distracted by looking for the solutions to our problems outside of ourselves. It is much more profitable, however, to look inside ourselves, to see how we are creating what we are experiencing through our thoughts, images and behaviours. Taking the position that we are responsible for our responses to the world gives us more power.

So, I hear you thinking “Well that’s never me”. You know what it is YOU. What you’re not prepared to face is that you need to change because you can’t change other people or situations. So, here’s the thing are you ready and willing to change? The formula we’re going to work with is called E + R = 0. E stands for all the events in our lives. R stands for our response to those events and O stands for the outcomes we experience.

I find this hard sometimes and must work hard on myself. Here’s an example: EVENT I recently wanted to change my car and the whole process from start to finish was hideous. I was getting really wound up and angry about the whole process RESPONSE. The OUTCOME could have been that I shouted and became negative when in fact I really wanted the car. BUT the problem was the dealerships IT systems, lack of training of sales people and a lack of customer focus. This wasn’t under my control, so I thought why am I getting wound up about it. If I changed my response to one of helping them get through their problems, I will get my car quicker so that’s what I did.

I’ve been right where you are right now and yet I have achieved more than I ever thought possible using this formula. I’m now a Jack Canfield certified trainer in the Success Principles and I’ve used my decades of experience curated it into a short course specifically designed for YOU to help you to create the life and career you never thought possible.

Hi, 

I wanted to hop on today to say thank you for listening to episode 1 called How to get the life and career you will LOVE! In this episode I’m going to talk about how to get started.

One of the main reasons why most people don’t get what they want is that they haven’t decided what they want. They haven’t defined their desires in clear and compelling detail. After being told repeatedly in childhood to be “sensible,” now as adults—in the name of being sensible—we end up becoming numb to our own desires. There are too many layers of “should’s,” “ought to’s,” and “you’d better’s” piled on top of and suffocating what you really want. This causes you to doubt yourself and you end up stuck like a spider in a web – paralysed with uncertainty.

So how can you reclaim your true desires? How do you get back to what you want with no fear, shame, or inhibition? How do you connect with you real passion?
