What boxes are we actually talking about, what categories, what tribes ~ what them and us are we referring to when using such terminologies or phrase?

For most part, it is through RECOGNITION ~ in recognising through our senses, feelings, through communication, attitudes, our past experiences. These are examples of indicators or signals which trigger off the feelings of being placed in a box, categorised into tribes, colour, size, them and us.

Even our surroundings and where we live can have a bearing on the categories or box that we are being placed in. Recognising the fact that being placed in categories can be a set of opinions, feelings and beliefs of individuals or a group of people ~ a national consciousness.

So how do we break out these boxes, categories ~ the ‘them and us’ mentality?

Breaking out involves stepping into ACTION!

Taking responsibility and being aware of the sensitivity to particular issues.

Taking action involves consideration for others, being thoughtful, weighing up things.

Taking action involves acknowledging that even though we are whole, we are individual parts, diverse in culture and should appreciate the value that we can ALL bring to ‘the table’.

Remember your consciousness is also part of your perception ~ your take, your opinion, your slant, your assessment ~ which is based on your past experiences. These experiences can be either good or bad depending on what good or bad means to you. These experiences are a form of encouragement for growth as a person, and not as an unchallenged hindrance.

In time those past experience will fade from your consciousness.

Breaking out involves being aware of YOUR thoughts, YOUR beliefs, or emotional bond to these beliefs.

Difficulties often arise in trying to develop relationships with others whilst not having developed a SINCERE and LASTING friendship with your-SELF first ~ Olive Guillais-Lazure

Client Testimonials

Once again thank you for the excellent training.

I found the presentation of the high level workflow very helpful. It enabled me to understand the organisational structure, the core duties for each section, the authorising procedure and the work processes required to achieve desired outcomes. This diagrammatic overview is worth more than a 1000 words and helps provide a mental picture of the ‘grand design’.

Being able to formulate these concepts in the way in which you did; displayed an ability to empathise with newcomers and empower them to effortlessly connect with the workflow more speedily. If I had not received your information at the time that I did; it would have taken longer for me to process overall procedures.

Also highlighting key concepts to manage data processing prevented overload and helped me understand core tasks I need to master in order to establish a baseline of future success.

Your assistance has been invaluable.

Andrew

I attended the ‘How comfortable are you shrinking to fit’ through business/personal life’ Workshop. It was the jump start I needed. I knew I had lots of skills and experience but I lacked the motivation. I was stuck and shrinking by the minute. The workshop helped me to release any negative doubts and to fulfill my potential. I left the workshop excited about creating a life without limits’. Thank you Olive you are an inspiration.

Catherine

Very powerful conversation there with Kamara. I loved it. Olive you have a very good voice for media & you instil confidence in the interviewee.

Spiwe

Before you even started your presentation, your positive energy was felt in the room. During the presentation, I felt I had went through a self discovery journey. Also, I have found answers to what was holding me back.
After the presentation, I felt very happy and physically a lot lighter than before.

The next morning, I woke up feeling very refresh and I was able to focus and get tasks done which would normally take me a couple of weeks to do, which it took me a couple of hours.

Maria

Olive has a very unique ability to address the key issues and was able to help me determine (for myself) what I needed to do in my life to achieve the goals I had set out at our initial session.

Anthony

Olive was clear in making sure I considered and exercised all options and tools available to me to which could help with managing my time. After each session I was encouraged to go away and think about my options, write them down in conjunction with statements so that, not only my mind was conditioned to think more optimistically about tasks that lay ahead, but also I became active in making sure that outstanding tasks were completed.

Soodesh

The coaching has really helped me in achieving my goals. It has helped in putting my business in the right perspective. It has also helped me to stay focused, and to have a more positive attitude.

Olive has really helped me to discover who I am. Now I can put things down on paper and take action, and to avoid procrastination as much as possible. Big thank you to you Olive for helping me discover myself.
