MBL 'Moving Beyond Limitations'-Personal Best-Professional Excellence

Heart-centred resilience...

27/08/2024

Are you hearing this about, or from your Young Person?
‘Disinterested, Disappointed… Disengaged, and unhappy with their results?
There are always reasons for ‘feelings and behaviour!’

Would you like to help them feel more RESPONSE-ABLE with their studies?
Now I know that’s an unusual expression, and yet until we’re open to understanding ourselves, our reactions and feelings, how can they be openly ‘responsible!’

Although, to be even better understood by parents (none of us are perfect!)… to receive teacher ‘feedback’ constructively, with a fresh attitude and improved self-esteem, there’s every propensity to improve self-confidence, develop greater ‘response-ability’ and not only make progress, they can deservedly, feel good about themselves, their progress and their achievement!

As much as we desire our children to experience achievement, they’re not always going to ‘get it right.’ That’s part of natural learning progression, and no-one is ‘perfect.’

Response-ability grows out of a willingness to…
• Acknowledge challenges,
• Address mistakes, and
• Make constructive choices

The Young People’s Signature Strengths® Coaching Program assists students in discovering inner capability, to better engage at school, away from negative feelings, towards personal growth and academic progress.

Do you want to help your child feel more RESPONSE-ABLE at school?’
To constructively deal with whatever is—the bad as well as the good. Viktor Frankl

“Like a piece of paper, once it's crumpled, it can't be perfect.”

Visually, the saying is true, and out of disappointment, disengagement can occur.

Although, when re-framed to receive teacher ‘feedback’ constructively, with a fresh attitude and improved self-confidence, there’s every propensity to improve self-esteem, and develop greater ‘response-ability’ and ‘fly!’

As much as we desire our children to experience achievement, they’re not always going to ‘get it right.’ That’s part of natural learning progression, and no-one is ‘perfect.’

Patterns… on Purpose, or Not? Why We Are, Who We Are!
· Why is it that sometimes, we question our capability and doubt our potential?
· What is it about ourselves that we haven’t yet understood to appreciate the best of ‘who we are?’
· How might it be to understand the depth of influence our values (feelings, attitudes, and beliefs), have upon us?

What if realising that persona is based upon both positive, and negative values, could be your catalyst to flourish?

Human beings are creatures of ‘pattern.’ Our neurology is a life-purpose pattern, and yet some patterns may not serve you now.
Who we are happens through significant emotional life experiences. We’ve learned inadvertently (observer) and actively (participant) through models within *’life conditions’:

‘Immersion, Demonstration, Expectation, Responsibility, Use, Approximation, Response-Ability’…
*Conditions of Naturalistic Learning - Prof. Brian Cambourne - Principal Fellow-University of Wollongong.

The model and conditions you’ve experienced have influenced how you ‘engage’ in life, your health, wellbeing and work.
If life-conditions shaped less than who you want to be, they don’t have to determine who you are now.

It’s every person’s right to ‘be the best they can be’, and knowing how to discern what ‘patterns’ are positive and / or negative to your health, wellbeing and professional progress, can help move your life-purpose from… existence to exemplary!

You may have a great deal more to explore in self-value, towards your purpose, and in service to others.

What you might not yet realise about 'Why We Are, Who We Are', to Be The Best We Can Be!
Gabor Mate's wise words...

Any negative from the past Adverse Childhood/Life Experiences (ACEs) need not define who you are now. No blame or shame, only deserved acknowledgment for each to heal

It's the strength of 'who you were when', those Positive Childhood/Life Experiences (PCEs), can help reclaim health and wellbeing...
that breakthrough, can be liberating!

Truth In Best Practice for Health, Wellbeing and Achievement…
My Story | Your Story | Our Story™ - from fear to flourishing!

“Karelynne, I don’t know how you’re sane.”

It's early October 2013. I was responding to my psychologist's questions, when he looked at me, paused and said,
“Karelynne, may I say something?”
"Of course." That’s why I was there, wasn’t it, and I didn’t expect that. There's nothing like someone sincerely 'bearing witness', to feel validated.

Appearances aren’t always what they seem (family photo-8 y/o me-left hand-side), and yet moments of happiness that form Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs). can be foundational to a health and wellbeing breakthrough.

Evidence-based research notes the variety, and effects of Adverse Childhood/Life Experiences (ACEs). Vincent Felitti MD and Dr. Brian Alman Ph.D.

My quest to understand the effect of damaging secrets about witnessing my father’s suspicious death, my hidden identity, alienation from my step-father, and other exceptionally adverse experiences, clarified how best to manage my health status (psychological and physiological), and disallow her interference in my life, and work.

Truth was the catalyst to move beyond limiting effects of the past.
As a child (yes, even in early adulthood!), I didn’t recognise my mother’s behaviour as controlling, and manipulative, with inexplicable, physically harmful behaviour as having far-reaching effect. I desperately craved to belong.

Perhaps this is where values (feelings, attitudes, and beliefs) are seen as ‘crazy!’

That’s until we understand ‘why we are who we are’, and when your Signature Strengths® (positive values) are identified, you begin to realise their power.

Just as adverse experiences deserve recognition, positive moments where we felt happy and safe, deserve to be acknowledged. These strengths are how I’ve managed, achieved, and why I coach and speak, to serve others on their healing journey.

Dr. Gabor Mate says, the quality of relationship between client and specialist, promotes healing and transformative moments, when you are genuinely listened to feel and deeply understood.

MBL practice is grounded in rapport; the genuine trust and responsiveness created between coach and client, where you feel completely heard, and together we seek to understand and, work towards resolve.

Is Your Child Trying To Thrive, Yet Failing to Flourish?

Whatever educational methodology your child accesses; given the variety in schools, teachers, curriculum, and physical environment, supplementary coaching et al, and alongside the most explicit instruction, additional support, and highest intentions…

Your child’s positive progress and achievement relies upon the strength of their ‘learning engagement. ‘Failure’ is always relative to the individual, and the polar opposite to flourishing.

In the past or right now, if your child isn’t able to engage as independently as possible in learning freely and productively, educational development isn’t in ‘flow’, your child may not be able to address ‘failure as feedback’, and ‘sense of failure’ or actual failure can be imminent, disconcerting and upsetting.

There are always reasons for disengagement... and students may not be able to articulate that easily.With MBL coaching, limitations can be identified, and solutions provided to move away from being in effect of negativity, towards confidence and competence.

This is why through ‘The YOUNG PEOPLE’S Signature Strengths® Coaching Program, I work with your child to help them more easily:

• Acknowledge their challenges
• Identify their innate core-values as Signature Strengths® and
• Position personal strengths as motivational drivers, towards positive, re-engagement and educational progress.

My Story | Your Story | Our Story™
A huge part of my life-mission was to determine my true identity!

Actively, and deeply subconsciously I’ve wondered ‘why I am, who I am.’
Now I know who and why, it’s time to share ‘how’ with you, and for you.

Understanding why we feel the way we do, why we have particular attitudes, and beliefs, or maintain them, can be cathartic, and liberating.
For over 45 years I lived in fear of:
· Exposing the ‘secret’ of why my identity was hidden because
· Rejection would sabotage my deep yearning to belong, and further
· Harm, because I would expose a ‘secret’ leading to accountability.

You see, I now know that ‘values’ are actually ‘feelings, attitudes, and beliefs,’ formed through ‘Significant Emotional Events’ (SEE), in life. Those being, Adverse Childhood (and Life) Experiences (ACEs) and Positive Childhood (and Life) experiences.
*Ref: The Kaiser Permanente Study: Vincent Felitti, MD and Dr. Brian Alman.
We are all subject to both experiences in life, to many varying degrees.
It can be cathartic, to realise that while negative experiences can dominate our thoughts they must, and deserve to be acknowledged for foundational healing; it’s often our positive experiences, those frequently undervalued, that have carried us through the most challenging of times. The positive values can now be chosen to strengthen your healing and/or professional journey.

These positive values are your Signature Strengths®! Those you may not realise were present long before any adverse experience, and can now be identified as transferable for an important and empowering focus.

‘What You Think About, and Thank About, You Bring About.’
I acknowledge that PCEs are what kept me sane, and buoyed my life journey!

The hierarchy we place on our values dictates our destiny… as tough as it is and may be, you deserve to have choice in focus towards the positive values, for wellbeing, progress, and achievement.

It’s vital to have a strong understanding that what you believe, and what you say to yourself, has tremendous impact on what happens to you, and what kind of life you'll lead.

My Story | Your Story | Our Story™ - How it can be when ‘values’ are understood, and how to be, all you deserve to be!

It was early March 2012, at The Sydney Entertainment Centre, and I was seated amongst over 1000 enthusiastic participants in a Neuro Linguistics programming seminar, and when the story I heard from the internationally renowned Master NLP trainer – Christopher Howard was shared, the crowd fell silent. It sent chills of realisation through my body. The learning informed my practice, and changed my life!

The content is withheld with respect, and the impact I willingly share.

On hearing Chris’ story, I realised that ‘who I was’ in persistent hyper-anxiety, undisclosed fear, and debilitating depression, was because I had formed these values (made subconscious decisions about me), as a result of some past, extraordinarily adverse experiences.

The wonder in resolution ‘to be the best of who I am’ had begun!

I learned that ‘*Significant Emotional Events’ are the root cause of values formation. Values are little understood. They are actually ‘feelings, attitudes and beliefs.’

They can be the result of Adverse Childhood/Life Experiences or Positive Childhood/Life Experiences, (*ACEs & PCEs). The realistation is that with understanding and discernment, adversity is rightfully acknowledged, positives are given deserved attention, and adversity may be overcome.

At MBL, your positive values are identified as your Signature Strengths®. These values facilitate your wellbeing, personal progress and, achievement.

Values formed through adversity can be the basis for long-term ill-health, and psychologically imposing conditions. The good news is that we can address ‘cause’ (no blame, shame and all accountability) to help you deservedly move away from remaining in effect of values that no longer serve you.

Values ‘live within’ or can be the ‘words on the wall’ of your home, school, or work organisation, and not always yours! We know that students and employees state organisational values, and yet few realise what values really are, so they can choose to discern, disagree, or powerfully align!

The power of understanding values formation, is in realising you can become discerning about whether not, the particular 'feelings, attitudes and beliefs' formed at varying stages, and within experiences in life progression, remain helpful or unhelpful.

How empowering can you imagine it to be, if values formed through your past adverse experiences could be relieved, overcome, and even eradicated with focus on your Signature Strengths®…
Why not apply strengths that are rightfully yours, to be ‘the best within you!’

‘Surprises’ Can Be Wonderful!’
My Story | Your Story | Our Story™

Discovering ‘why we are who we are’ can be challenging, and yet it’s not as if we didn’t really know… well, as if we didn’t know about the ‘issues’ experienced along the way. That’s your personal story, and no surprise!

Understanding values formation is crucial for healing and personal growth, and forgiving ourselves for not knowing this sooner is key.

Our values (feelings, attitudes, and beliefs), are shaped by Significant Emotional Events, Adverse Childhood/Life Experiences, and Positive Childhood Experiences. They serve as our baseline for self-discovery in deciding who we aspire to be.

The surprise is in discovering that some of your imposing values, the troublesome, negative ones, are evident because through no fault of your own, you were, and often continue to be, in effect of past experiences.

Now you can allow yourself the surprise and delight in discovering your Signature Strengths®, to help you be decisive about who you are, and how healthy, confident, and competent you want to, and can be.

The Young People’s Signature Strengths® Coaching Program.
How to support student learning-engagement for personal growth, and achievement.

Now it’s time to begin a new semester…

• What results has your young person received?
• How do they and you, feel about the levels of achievement?
• Why might they be experiencing limitations and / or disengagement?

What if a fresh approach to learning engagement could help with self-confidence, self-belief, to enhance capability and improved academic achievement?

'We are who we are because of significant emotional events’ in our lives, and life’s complexity can often overshadow a young person’s delightful nature, productive traits and positive outcomes.

Signature Strengths® are your young person’s positive core values (feelings, attitudes, and beliefs), established long before any interruptive, intrusive and / or traumatic life event.

MBL’s strengths identification helps students develop response-ability to strengthen purposeful, active learning, to feel more comfortable and confident, about experiencing their capability.

With Signature Strengths® identified, and assigned as ‘motivational drivers’, new purpose and potential are possible!

Kindness is a foundational, yet overlooked value.
Kindness is a value learned through consistent, positive modelling with firm boundaries and fair expectations, on a personal, family, and societal level.
Kindness in action, is to experience a sense of calm, validation, and safety.

A prominent misunderstanding is knowing what ‘values’ are, and how they form.

Values are ‘feelings, attitudes, and beliefs’ learned through exposure to life experiences (positive or negative). They are heard, felt, and seen. Values are deep-seated in our neurology, resulting in a powerful influence about choice of action… deciding ‘why we are who we are, what we do, and how we want to be.’

Kindness is a base-line factor for healing and wellbeing, towards self-regulation and self-leadership.

There is no one answer to creating a calmer, safer society, and it is possible to work together to ensure that every child can experience and learn how to productively respond to consistent, positive models of kindness, so we strive to ensure 'kindness' becomes a foundational, operative value for children, young people, and adults in society.

Madeleine West - A Courageous Child Abuse Survivor – 60 Minutes.

In a recent episode of 60 Minutes, Madeleine West shared her story as a survivor of child abuse and the impact it had on her life. Her bravery in speaking out raises awareness of the insidious and destructive effects of Adverse Childhood Events (ACEs). These effects can be pervasive into adulthood and can prevent healing if left unaddressed.

As a society, we must acknowledge that many survivors of abuse may have never disclosed or been justly supported. Despite this adversity, there are professionals who care. Gratitude to those determined Police investigators.

It’s never too late to access your right to guidance, support, justice, and healing. If you have information or questions, resources are available.

Let’s get Personal, Positive and Proactive about Communication!

How to grow respectful, positive, and constructive communication...

Recently identified in our schools and throughout communities, is a desire to develop and acknowledge positive, social communication; a way to get to know students better, acknowledge who they really are, and appreciate each other.

As a CCS certified practitioner, I choose to implement: ‘Let’s Get Personal.’ P. 159 of UNPACKED – in the CCS Practitioner’s manual.

The CCS Practitioner’s manual provides expert guidance in, and of the use of image cards for facilitation, coaching and self-discovery. The exercise encourages conversation development within group sessions, with the intentional outcome of enhanced conversations.

If you, or your school values positive, socio-emotional development and healthy communication for wellbeing, I highly recommend the Certified CCS Practitioner Program: https://lnkd.in/gwbRERVF .... Oct 2022

You're welcome to contact Craig Browne, Leonie Cutts of CCS Corporation Pty Ltd, or me to discuss your needs and the possibilities that might enhance a wide array of personal, social, and professional attributes for your students and staff, in your educational setting.

If you believe it in your heart…
If you have the courage to speak it…

If you have the courage to own it, and…

Wellbeing and achievement are founded with intention and purpose.
Intention that is ‘ecological’ - right and good for you, and all you hold dear.
Purpose towards fulfillment of your desired goals.

Outcomes aren’t always predictable, and to be aware of the value of what you discover on that intended and purposeful journey, could be fundamental to a personal and / or professional breakthrough.

For 2022 and always…
I wish you, your family, friends, and colleagues the strength to continue… 'Moving Beyond Limitations!’
