“The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex, overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one.”

- Mark Twain

Key 1 – Design Your Blueprint.

Before anything is built, a blueprint is drawn. Blueprints begin as a vision. Start by visioning your goal and drawing it out. A simple one page description or mind map works perfectly. Sticky notes are fun for mind-storming as well a logical outline. Simply get it down in whatever form you enjoy. Map out the actions to get you to your desired result. Create a step-by-step plan from your action map. This may change overtime so detach from the steps, let them be your starting point.

Key 2 – Discover Your Life Purpose.

You have unique talents and gifts. You were born with them. You are called to express them. When you embrace and express your purpose, you feel joy, passion and fulfillment. You can identify your purpose by your deepest desires. What are you passionate about? What do you love to do? What sparks your creativity? Notice any feelings of envy toward others. This is a sign that you have the ability to become what they are. When you harmonize with your inner purpose your outer world flows easily.

Key 3 – Understand Your Mindset.

Are you a half empty, or a half full person? Both perspectives offer great value. The secret is to understand how to use your perspective.  When your thoughts are focused on your goals and desires, you will take inspired action toward them. When your thoughts are focused on your struggles and challenges, you are being directed toward new opportunity. What you don’t want is like a guard rail, showing you its time to correct your course. Your success path is carved by your ability to observe your perspective.

Key 4 – Collaborate With Everyone and Everything.

The more you consider and contribute to the greater good for all, the happier and healthier you will be. Happiness and health are catalysts to success. Collaboration begins with your relationship with yourself. Nurture and support yourself and your greatness will bloom. Accept your weaknesses as opportunities to accept help from others and to  learn and grow. Offer your strengths to those who need them, in your home, your community, your nation and your world. We are one. The more you see yourself as part of the whole, the easier life becomes.

Key 5 – Embrace Change and Dance with Life.

Happiness is a choice and change is the only constant. To flow with ease, accept whatever life brings you. Whatever your resist persists. Stop resisting and begin flowing. Learn to move with the steps that guide you. This is the dance of life. It will bring you joy beyond measure, laughter, and happiness. Revel in the awe of your unique expression. Take action from your inspiration toward the goals you set. Build your blueprint through inspiration,  knowing its form will come in perfection. It may even surprise you along the way!

Getting started is getting ahead!!

Mampodi™ – coaching the champions in all of us

Current socio-economic and political conditions have placed South Africa’s workforce under unprecedented levels of pressure. So much so, in fact, that according to experts in the life coaching arena there is a critical need for self awareness in people in order to fully realize their own potential as well as their place and value to the businesses that employ them.

This is according to Freddie Oosterhuis, director at Mampodi™ Coaching & Leadership, a South African-based provider of coaching services and a Certified Meta-Coach™ at the ACMC level which is governed by the International Society of Neuro-Semantics® (ISNS) and the Meta-Coach™ Foundation (MCF).

“Coaching and Meta-Coaching in particular has emerged as one of the fastest growing service provision industries globally. Recent statistics indicate it has reached the level of being a R10 billion industry. Whilst it shows the remarkable commercial opportunity that can be found in this market, it also, more importantly, demonstrates the significant and genuine need there is for businesses and people to be supported through credible, proven coaching methodology,” says Oosterhuis.

Mampodi™ Coaching & Leadership (a name derived from the Sotho word ‘mMampodi’ meaning ‘champion’) was established for this very reason and has developed a comprehensive Meta-Coach™ service-focused model that can be customized to meet requirements at corporate and government level, for organizations and groups, as well as the individual.

It is run by a team of trained and accredited coaches with experience in the application of the Meta-Coach™ Training System®, an internationally recognized training system acknowledged by- and utilized extensively throughout the global Meta-Coaching™ fraternity.

This combination of a proven system and expert support helps clients identify, understand and effectively deal with issues that could be blocking their paths to success and a vastly improved level of general interaction and ultimately a better quality of life.

The company has its head office in Tshwane, Gauteng, but provides a national service that covers executive, leadership, performance, developmental, transformational and life coaching via two fundamental components: the primary focus being direct service to clients and the secondary being an opportunity for entrepreneurs to replicate the business model via franchise.

Whilst there are a number of facets associated with the Meta-Coaching™ Training System® and thus makes a simple, definitive description difficult, it does entail a great deal more than simply listening to peoples problems and trying to identify solutions says Oosterhuis. “It takes on a holistic approach and by definition relates to a higher application of coaching. It is focused on the mind, the brain and is specifically designed to understand thought patterns and their application in daily life.”

“Our approach is based on a proven methodology co-developed by Dr Michael Hall. Dr Hall co-founded Neuro-Semantics as a field of study and as an international society in 1996,” adds Oosterhuis.

Through its technology, expertise and access to information and international coaching resources, the team at Mampodi™ Coaching & Leadership has laid down a number of objectives that it believes will strengthen the individual, teams, executive structures and the organization/ company as a whole.

“We want people to broaden their understanding of themselves, their mind-body-emotion states for greater self-esteem, confidence and sense of empowerment. Part of our aim is to help people to experience more pleasure, intentionality, decisiveness, clarity, positive emotions, creativity and fun in life. From a business point of view these objectives allude to the very well known saying that ‘a happy employee is a productive employee’ and really an asset to the organization,” adds Oosterhuis.

“The true mission-critical business objective is to empower people to become more efficient in business, career, making money, and financial independence, more effective in relationships, problem solving and staying motivated and be more able to move to mastery in their fields of endeavour,” Oosterhuis continues.

The vision of Mampodi™ Coaching & Leadership going foreword is to grow the brand internationally and emerge as the premier provider of meta-coaching services & support to South and Southern Africa and to the rest of the continent.

IMAGINING THE LIMITS OF POSSIBILITY

I know this is a wild and audacious possibility, but for just a moment imagine waking up in the morning excited about the new day.

Imagine awakening with a sense of richness and vitality in the meaning of your life, of yourself, and of the day’s activities.

Imagine waking up in a frame of mind that makes you completely alive to the possibilities, in love with those who you share life with, and fascinated with what you do.

Imagine awaking in the realization that you will spend much of your time today in a flow state of creative consciousness that you will be performing “in the zone,” completely focused and engaged in something you absolutely love.

Imagine that you wake up and move through your day with a robust sense of meaning and purpose doing what you best love doing knowing that you are following your passions.

• How about that?
• Would that be worth waking up to?

Yes, that’s a lot to imagine.

• How much of it truly seems possible and vividly real to you?
• Do you like that?
• Does that seem like just a dream or do you believe it’s a real possibility?
• Do you believe its a real possibility for you?
• How much would you like to live with that kind of meaning?
• And what about that kind of purpose and performance?
• To what degree do you live your life already like that?
• Are you open to turning it up even more?

We at Mampodi™ Coaching & Leadership believe that this dream of unleashing this much potential and meaning is a possibility for everyone and that it is our heritage as human beings.

Mampodi™ Coaching & Leadership has the “Technology” to bring daily concepts such as customer service, empowerment, growth, integrity, personal development, and honesty into action and aims to be the Coaching Provider of choice for Executive, Leadership, Performance, Developmental, Transformational and Life Coaching in South Africa.
