From the desk of. . .     Ulrika Brattemark & Marlene Lockwood

Hi . . .

We have a question for you. 

• When last did you focus on what is truly meaningful for you?

We know how busy your life is, especially these days.  Life does seem to keep moving faster, sometimes faster than you can keep up. Time for yourself or your family is easily strained, and you might wonder, “Is this It? Do I need to settle for just getting by?” Life can bring changes so fast that you may feel confronted with a future that is feeling too uncertain.  

Even when doing your best, living in uncertainty is difficult and you may find yourself becoming cynical, impatient, fearful, angry, defensive or anxious. In times of economic downturns and other external limiting factors, you may feel stuck in your personal or professional life.

But Imagine . . .

• Living a balanced life: work, self-care, relationships, play, finances, family
• Reducing your stress and energizing yourself with simple self-care practices you can easily weave into your daily routine
• Navigating major life choices in a focused, healthy and supported way
• Utilizing your strengths more effectively

If you now. . .

• Experience your future being uncertain, unclear, and overwhelming at times
• Feel stuck in your personal or professional life and wonder if it’s time for a change
• Think your life is moving too fast and out of control
• Are numbing yourself with alcohol or food to avoid facing what’s really going on
• Want to accomplish more with your life but are not quite sure what or how
• Wish someone would show you a way to deal more effectively with life’s challenges so that you could live the life you are meant to live . . .

What if we told you…

In just 16 weeks you can be well on your way to living your life focused and on purpose. You will learn effective tools you can use immediately and also in the future, and overall you’ll find yourself enjoying a more balanced and fulfilled life.

Join The Power of Focus Teleclass to learn to learn tools and get support in finding a way to live your life fully. We will be using the renowned Circle o f Life™ process to help you get headed in the direction you know is right for you.

Yes, it’s true . . .

Hi, I’m Marlene Lockwood of Authenticity Transition Coaching.  I’m author of the e-book From Shadow to Light and host of Springboard Conversations with Health and Wellness Masters, interviewing America’s Inner Peace Coach Mary Allen, Tapping Professional, Dr. Ann Merkel, and Author of the Circle of Life Rebecca McLean and other scheduled guest such as Hypnotherapist Elizabeth Ripley Butcher, Qi Gong with Dr. Roger Jahnke and many more to come.

My coaching work focuses on women who are rebuilding their lives after relationship loss and with others who want to refocus their lives. I work with individuals and groups supporting them thru challenging life changes.  My clients tell me that they feel stronger, energized, wiser, and more in tune with their wants and needs. They speak of finding enhanced inner peace, improved creativity and vitality as they experience their heart’s desire coming true.

I too have experienced significant change in my life.

During one long year in my life I had a long term marriage end; my last child leave home, my mother passed away and I changed jobs.  There have been many more changes before and since.  I have walked in your shoes and I know the challenges change can bring.  I moved forward with the help of a group and a coach to create a new dynamic and exciting life.
I rely on this personal experience plus my professional coaching experience and advanced training to shape the structure of my group coaching programs.  Over the last 10 years I have been helping others gain the clarity, confidence and strength they need to powerfully redesign and lead their own lives, no matter their circumstances.

Hi, I’m Ulrika Brattemark. I work with individuals and groups to support them in creating the life they deeply desire.  I am committed to helping others discover what is truly meaningful to them, cultivating their personal strengths and uniqueness, and create and sustain positive change in their life.

My clients tell me they especially appreciate my openness and non-judgmental attitude and that I have helped them stand back and look at their situation from many different perspectives. I am grateful that I am able to support others in finding solutions that are meaningful and inspiring to them.

When I coach I draw from the different facets of my own life experience. I come to coaching from a background as a Business Analyst, Yoga teaching and I am also a mother of two. I have a multi-national background; growing up in Sweden and living most of my adult life in Switzerland and then USA. In 2007 I became a certified Health and Wellness Coach through the Circle of Life program and I offer coaching in person as well as over the phone. I continuously further my coaching expertise by attending workshops, retreats and courses in multiple Mind/Body topics such as Stress Management, Communication skills, Yoga, and Creativity.

We are very excited to announce the

We have listed common challenges and then linked them to real life results.

Stress can show up in many ways. Sometimes we hear from our clients that they just aren’t happy with how their life is working and are unclear what to do first to bring some sanity back into their lives. In The Power of Focus series, we will support you to make skillful life changes and to begin to take the steps necessary to move forward successfully.

Bill wanted us to share this with you. “When I began your program I was stuck in a funk and just generally feeling dissatisfaction in several areas of my life.  Marlene’s empathy and wisdom and the powerful effectiveness of the methods helped me to identify and focus on the key issues then to make changes in the areas most important for me to address first.  My life has been revitalized. Thank you," - Bill

Our world is full of change and at times you can experience real chaos in your own life and sometimes even feel like it is being done to you. We want you to have the tools to direct your own life and to be able to move toward your goals.

One of the greatest challenges...

 …that we face is living a happy, healthy, peaceful life - one that is more balanced, less stressed and more fulfilled – while juggling the demands of daily life.

The Circle of Life™ was created not only to address these greatest challenges but also to create a path for moving forward in your life. 

The Circle of Life ™ is a breakthrough process that is the ultimate in personal empowerment and Self-Care.

Sometimes you can feel overwhelmed by external circumstances. There is so much going on that you feel at loss about where to start.  Your goals are not clear or you see them as just too big to tackle and you procrastinate.  However, focused small steps have a compounding factor that eventually leads to much larger results than when we try to do too much at once.

"We would accomplish many more things
if we did not think of them as impossible"
- Vince Lombardi

Now enrolling for the Nov. 4th, 2009 program

There is only so much of life we can control.  Throughout life you are faced with difficult changes and many challenges.  In this program you will be supported to major life choices in a focused, healthy and supported way.

Elizabeth told us this. “I attended the Circle during a time that my life was at a “split in the road.”  I was separated from my husband, I questioned the financial security of my work, I was almost 60 and had no idea where I was going.  The support of the group, Marlene’s gentle but strong guidance and the weekly format became a touch stone of sanity for me.  Those meetings began a change in me that has not stopped. I am so grateful.” ~ Elizabeth

We will support you in defining a direction that is truly meaningful to you. Once you start taking well thought out actions, even small steps, to confront the challenges you are experiencing, things can and will change for you. You’ll be amazed at just how quickly it can happen!

“It may just be that a true wake-up call creates a
true shift in consciousness. My wake-up call
left me no choice. I had to make dramatic changes.”
-Cheryl Richardson

Frequently we hear clients say things like this:

It’s not necessary to stay in any of the above states.  In fact, history shows that challenging times actually gives you a powerful opportunity to reconnect with your passion and to refocus your life journey. 

Change can be used as a catalyst to become more aware of what is working in your life and what is not.   

Perhaps now is a good time to question how you spend your time and energy and to clarify what you really want out of life.

By determining what you can let go of in your life, you create space for that which truly matters. You can be living a truly meaningful life, even in times of stress and change.  

You can turn it around!

What Makes The Power of Focus Teleclass Effective?

Self Care is the core essence of The Power of Focus teleclass. What we know, and research supports, is that people who take care of themselves create health, wealth, love, and life satisfaction – even when they have tremendous challenges to overcome.

Here is how we define Self-Care . . . Using your ability to direct and manage your health and well-being in all aspects of your life, and creating what you want for your life by taking charge of and responsibility for your thoughts, life choices and actions.

.

You must be the one and only person directing your life

A Powerful Testimony

We will help you assess your level of Self-Care in all aspects of your life, including exercise, nutrition, stress mastery, relationships, finances, work, play, health care, environment, life purpose, self esteem and spirituality.

Listen to what Chris has to say. "I gained a much better under- standing of the importance of self-care. I learned how to schedule simple, but effective self-care methods into my life that have made a world of difference to how I experience life." ~ Chris

Envision Self Care as a radiant sun . . .  illuminating all aspects of your life with energy.  Taking time for your Self Care positively affects the quality of your life and empowers you to meet your goals.  Operating from a Self-Care mind set (i.e. caring for yourself) no matter what goals you are working toward is what drives the Circle of Life process and makes it so effective.

The coaching opportunity

Coaching is an opportunity to assist you in realizing your most important goals, and group coaching adds the wisdom of the group as well as support, accountability and camaraderie. You will be supported to realize greater success, balance and life fulfillment.  People from all walks of life now are benefitting from coaching. And, as important as business goals are, it is our "inner being" that influences our successes, regardless of profession. 

Some things to be clear about

Because it is critical to your success we want to be sure we are all on the same page. First of all, this course does not answer all problems or free you from life challenges forever, of course you know that. Life challenges and transitions will continue throughout your life; however, these tools will give you a foundation from which to work through your current and future challenges and will support you in achieving the success you desire.

Research, development and much personal work has gone in to form this program.  We have spent countless hours and energy in preparing this teleclass series.

It is our true labor of love, an accumulation of years of work, a Masters degree plus hundreds of hours working with clients, reading, advanced seminars, and the list goes on.
