1-1 Reconnection Coaching
Reconnect to Me & Reconnection Retreats
Ways to work with me:
RECONNECT TO ME
A carefully designed coaching programme to take you from feeling EMPTY to EMPOWERED through six 1 to 1 sessions with Ali, an accredited coach with over 20 years of experience in using theatre and somatic approaches to support the transformation and positive change in people’s lives. (Sessions last between 60-80 minutes).
RECONNECTION RETREAT
An intensive period of time for us to work together to go deep, get creative, work with the wisdom of our bodies, mind and spirit to overcome limiting beliefs and ‘stuckness’. An intensive coaching experience can be 1 day or 2 days, in person or online. Each day consists of 3 coaching sessions of 1.5 hours. The day is co-designed with you and Ali in order to make the very best of our time together. This happens through a questionnaire and discovery call to agree initial intentions, aims and desired outcomes.
Does this resonate with you?
You may have tried to deal with this already, maybe you tried to speak to friends or your partner, but they did not quite ‘get’ you? Or you have a shelf full of self-help books that seemed to offer all the answers but never really got you where you wanted to be? Maybe you have tried some online community groups or invested in some memberships but left after a couple of months when you are not getting what was promised? Or you really tried to nail that early morning routine but were just left feeling more exhausted than before?
Trying all these different things may have actually had the opposite effect on you, because they haven’t worked you have been left feeling a bit useless and struggling to believe if anything can actually change in your life.
In fact, it has left you feeling like maybe you are making a fuss about nothing and you should be grateful and get on with it, it’s not that bad, and nobody’s life is perfect right?
Well yes, nobody’s life is perfect, but you DO have a choice…
You can keep doing what you are doing and keep getting what you got…
OR you can choose to do something real and accountable to actually make some changes!
YES it is possible!
Things DO NOT need to stay this way
1-1 coaching puts you back in the centre of your life and offers a clear pathway from where you are now, to a life where you feel more purpose, more confidence, more joy and deeper connection to your authentic self.
How does this impact your life in the long run? When we are living with purpose and confidence this ripples out to all other areas of our lives and can positively impact:
our relationships
our time
our careers
our eating habits
our energy levels
our stress levels
In fact, all of these things are positively impacted when we have purpose, confidence and joy at the forefront in our lives.
Often we think we just need to try a little harder, right? It is interesting how many of us blame ourselves for not working hard enough or being good enough when we experience the empty dissatisfied feeling! Well, I can assure you that the reconnection process is not about trying harder, working more or being better. In fact it is the opposite, in RECONNECTION COACHING we slow it all down, we stop, breathe and take stock and actually start to take a deeper look at ourselves, our lives, our stories and our dreams so that we can see what we want, and call out some of the bullshit that is stopping us from reaching our full potential.
A Deeper Dive into the RECONNECTION process
Working 1 to 1 with a coach puts the RELATIONSHIP back into the reconnection process. We need support, creative communication and collaboration to make real change and this is maybe why you haven’t been able to get any traction on making changes before, no accountability or outside eye, no time focussed completely on you, where you will be exquisitely listened to, carefully held and bravely challenged.
My RECONNECTION coaching programmes are where we reconnect emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually. If we are going to do this, let’s really do this!
The key components in the RECONNECT TO ME process are as follows:
However this is NOT a linear process, but more cyclical and no two journeys will be the same
RESTART
This is where we start. We take a good look at where you are right now. Why you are here, what you do want for your life and what you do not want. We explore where you feel stuck inside and out, and what change might look like for you.
REMEMBER
Here we take a look at what might be holding you back and remember the wisdom you already have inside. Through working with the body you will dig out values, beliefs and drivers. Here we explore the stories you are telling yourself about your life.
RELEASE
This is where you let some of that shit go! This is often a key part of the reconnection process and the moment we start to really turn that corner. We need to actively and physically let the old stuff go to make room for the new.
REWRITE
This is where we start to rewrite your story. Starting with the foundations of your own beliefs and values we start to script your manifesto and your meaningful mission. This is where you can really start to visualise your purpose.
RECLAIM
Reclaiming your place in the world is the name of the game here. As you start consciously living your purpose and your meaningful mission we need this space to reflect, practice, troubleshoot and build confidence! This is our rehearsal for reality!
So who am I?
My Reconnection Coaching Programmes are led by myself, Ali Franks. I am an educator, facilitator and coach with over 20 years of working with people to support transformation and positive change in their lives. I am a EMCC accredited coach at Practitioner Level and an accredited EFT practitioner. I have recently left my position as a university academic teaching a Masters in Applied Theatre (where I trained and educated others to hold transformative spaces). I am a mother, a wife and a lover of the sea!
I value authenticity, courage, empathy and playfulness and I bring all of these fully into our sessions together!
My unique approach combines coaching with applied theatre techniques, mindfulness, story-making and metaphor to help people get a deeper perspective about what is going on their own lives, uncover their innate confidence and find embodied ways of implementing change.
This allows for us to move out of just the thinking brain and engage our body’s unique wisdom and experience, giving us big ‘aha moments’ that we have not seen before. Because this work taps into our physical bodies and our deep creativity we start to experience holistic and permanent change as opposed just widening our understanding that may come from reading, listening or more traditional talking approaches.
Reconnection coaching allows you to dig out those dreams that you have been keeping buried and takes you through a process that enables you to put them into place; it gives you a toolbox of approaches and techniques to take with you and can move you from feeling EMPTY to EMPOWERED.
RECONNECTION COACHING is NOT for you if…
o You are not committed to fully show up
o You expect someone else to change your life for you
o You expect your coach to do all the work
o You are not 110% committed to personal change and growth
o You are not willing to step out of your comfort zone
o You are not willing to put the time in outside of coaching sessions
It’s cool if this programme is not for you right now. It is an investment in your own life that is emotional, physical, spiritual, mental and financial and it requires you to show up 100%.
But how much will this cost me?
I am not the biggest fan of sales pages that try to convince you that you are getting the biggest deal of the century, I like to tell it as it is!
RECONNECT TO ME: 6 x 60-80 minute online coaching sessions
Your investment is £500 (& this can be paid in 2 instalments - just ask).
RECONNECTION RETREATS: 1 or 2 day, 1-1 creative coaching intensive, either online or in person (in the beautiful Gower, South Wales).
Costs start at £600 per day (costs will depend upon what you would like your retreat experience to include and whether we are online or in person).
If this is speaking to you then we can meet to discuss your needs, hopes and desires for this process - your financial investment will vary accordingly.
(Maybe the more important question is, what will it cost me to not take the risk and make the changes?)
