I am learning that my adhearance to external references of feeling accepted is often based on shame, on what’s right or what’s wrong, on making judgements. I know from practice that the happiest I’ve ever been is when I stop judging myself, but I know I can not stop judging myself, if I can not stop judging others. In this breath I get to choose to show up as my true Self without judgements.  Thanks to Lisa J. Weiss and The Wel-Systems® Institute I have learned to breath first, and then choose, the first 53 years of childhood are over, I can choose for myself to be my Self, or not.“

Lisa easily and effortlessly lead me to an AH-HA moment. From now on I will remember to look up (towards the sky) when I want to transcend my current environment and be the person I have the potential to become.

One word that would describe it perfectly is “awakening”. Yes, I woke up; I woke up from a deep long dream that seemed like my life. My first impulse was to call it a nightmare but no, it was not a nightmare as it was my life and it was perfect as it was because it got me to where I am now.  You know when you dream things just happen “to you”, you don’t really have control over what’s going to happen next, well, that was my life until the Decloaking. What I know now, deep down in the tissue of my body is that I HAVE a choice, always. I also know that no matter what that choice is, it is always perfect. If I decide not to make a choice, that is also perfect as it is MY life and I live it awake.

Right from the start, Lisa was confident that within four sessions I would be able to present publicly by addressing my fear differently. I was skeptical. But I was desperate and time was running out, so I agreed. Three weeks later I delivered the first presentation I felt proud of. Last week I presented in front of 150+ people at a national symposium and received encouraging feedback from colleagues.  I highly recommend Lisa. She is engaging, refreshing, honest and fun…..And, I miss her laugh.

I went into the 5-day retreat mentally and physically exhausted, not knowing if I could bring my whole self into the room, but during the week the insights regarding how I interact with family members were profound and I am astounded by the fundamental new awareness I developed about myself.  Lisa’s willingness just to sit and be there for me as I struggled with myself created a safe environment allowing me to acknowledge who I really am in this moment. Thank you Lisa so much for this opportunity and to everyone who supported my journey.

Through our group discussions, monthly follow up meetings and individual coaching sessions, my transformation has grown exponentially. While I know that I am not the woman I was over 18 months ago, I am so very aware that who I am now is radically different from who I was just over 5 months ago. I am choosing to take the lead in my own life, explore potential and possibility, and create and choose those experiences which light up my world. And, for me, the most powerful result of being part of the LeaderSELF Coaching Circle has been that who I know mySelf to be has expanded and evolved to encompass the intensity and immensity of my spirit.

The LeaderSELF coaching process became integrated into my daily life, and I found myself bringing real issues, challenges and experiences to the group for discussion, and was grateful for the on-going conversation over the extended period of time which permitted feedback and adjustment that addressed my everyday interactions.  I would recommend the LeaderSELF Coaching Circle to anyone who is interested in exploring what it’s like to recognize and then access their authentic voice.

The LeaderSELF Coaching Circle was an adventure. It created an opportunity for me to seriously consider leadership attributes that sat comfortably with me. As I discovered what these attributes were, and how they resonated with the person I continue to evolve into, with guidance from Lisa and encouragement from my coaching circle colleagues, I was able to see my LeaderSELF from multiple new and empowering perspectives.  The big change for me is that I no longer need to routinely dissect external events or understand behaviours. Instead, I focus on honouring my LeaderSELF…and the more I do it, the easier and more joyful it becomes.

Lisa has a wonderful energy about her. The after effects of this discussion were extremely meaningful to me and the changes are definitely long term. I felt support during this discussion and had insight like never before.

Your magical, loving energy was the catalyst which has allowed layers and layers of old stuff to be peeled away. I’m full of excitement about my life, and the life I am co-creating with my husband.

A big discovery for me was being mindful of the words that I choose. This was something that I rarely ever paid attention to but as I wrote, I began to see patterns in the words and Lisa was able to point out where the word I chose was not serving me. I have learned that my words are powerful and carry impactful messages. Using new words that work for me and writing a story of my own choosing instead of blindly following the ‘Rules’ that I held for myself has been a transforming experience.
