"I have recently completed a coaching program with Michael and believe it was invaluable. I felt that Michael took the time and interest to find out exactly how I work, live and think. He then set about, to help me regain my motivation and interest in my business and family life. I feel that Michael has assisted me to refocus in the areas that are most important and in many ways has also provided me with the tools to move forward and not slip back into my old ways. I would definitely recommend Michael to anyone who wishes to move forward and focus on their goals."   Steve Christensen Managing Director SCI Australia Pty Ltd www.sciaustpl.com.au A message from Michael... It seems that every part of life today has a coach of some sort!  There is life coaching, executive coaching, life skills coaching, business coaching, work life balance coaching, stress management coaching...and so on.   So what is resilience coaching?  Like most people, you may have begun a new business, job, or project, because you have a specific skill/knowledge, you really enjoy it, or you saw an opportunity.   However, just like the vast majority of people, you were probably not prepared for the huge amount of pressure, work and demand that come with that business, job or project.   As a result, you find yourself feeling over-worked, stressed-out and run-down, resulting in:   * Losing sight and focus of your initial vision and find yourself just being busy 'getting things done'      instead of creating an exciting future.   * Working very hard, long hours, feeling stuck in a rut in what you are doing - and hence losing     your confidence and motivation to be proactive, take initiative or do more than just 'get through'     each day      * Spending less time on your needs, your health, weight, fitness - and seeing less of your family     and friends.       The reality is, the way in which you have managed (or have not managed)          the pressure and intensity of work/life has led you into unproductive,                                         stress-inducing work and living habits. You probably already know what you need to do in order to achieve what you want from life...the problem is that you are not doing it!   If your inaction is due to procrastination, self doubt, disorganisation, old beliefs, stress, overload or poor time management, the bounce back coaching program gets you past the barrier and compels you to take the action to reach your goals.   Too often excuses, distractions, poor time management, stress, work commitments, family needs, or a low self stops people from achieving what they really want in work and life. The Bounce Back Resilience Coaching program shows you 'pressure proof' yourself by conditioning your mind and body to rise above your business, work and life pressures and accomplish what you want from life.   The program covers how to handle stress and develop strategy, skills and techniques to cope with stressful situations - but the coaching program is a lot more than that.  You learn how to develop physical, mental and emotional resilience to the pressure in your work and life - so that your thrive and excel, instead of becoming stressed out and run down, when under pressure. The Coaching program is not a psycho-analysis of your life, nor a discussion about processing a past hurt.....the coaching program is much like an anti venom for 'excuses'.  I quickly get the reasons why you are resisting taking action and help you to get over them. You get coached by me - not by someone who has taken a weekend course in coaching or by someone who has no experience in the area of building resilience and bounce back.  I have done this work for over 12 years and have worked with literally thousands of people. As your coach, my role is to facilitate, and keep you accountable, to taking action. The program is specifically designed for people who have a lot at stake with their business/work and need to stay at ‘on the ball’, in control, and motivated in their work and life, so they can handle whatever challenge is thrown their way without becoming drained, tense or stressed out. The program is to the point, short and results orientated. "Michael, I cannot sing your praises highly enough. You must get job satisfaction in ways other than monetary.  No money in the world could repay what you did for me.  I am sure you have done the same for so many others. If ever anyone needs to speak to a previous customer please feel free to use me.  You have such a lovely manner too." Leah Jacobs Interior Decorations & Renovation ljagency@tpg.com.au What is involved with the program: This one-to-one coaching is set out over 4 sessions, every 2 weeks. Before we even start the program we clearly set out several goals that you would like to achieve over the next 1, 2 and 3 months Each session is conducted over the telephone or using the internet and a headset (microphone).  Which means that, regardless of where in the world you live, I can run this coaching program with you. After each coaching session, an action plan is documented - to which I hold you accountable to completing/taking action on. You will be expected to send me a weekly email update to show whether you are 'on track' or 'off track'  (I reply, with feedback, to each of your emails within 48 hours of receiving it). You can email me, as often as you like, with questions or issues you would like support and honest feedback with. As part of the program, you will receive:  *  A copy of my e-book 'Turn Stress into Energy & Enthusiasm' (downloadable)  * The Resilience CD Series containing information and interviews on how to mentally, physically,     emotionally and spiritually become more resilient and bounce back fast from pressure.    You will be required to read/listen to these before the end of the coaching program. At the conclusion of your program, you will have practised and documented a set of skills, behaviours and insights that you can draw from for the rest of your life (so that you are not dependent on me to stay resilient) .   The program benefits: This is a 'hands on' program, so you will implement the strategies and techniques to increase your working stamina, resilience and wellbeing. Specifically, you will learn how to:         * Set, stick to, and achieve your goals - and get over the excuses that stand in your way         * Develop a resilient mental attitude to stay in control of your emotions         * Increase your energy output by developing a resilient body structure         * Have a sense of balance between your work and personal life         * Immune yourself from draining clients, customers or colleagues         * Sustain your wellbeing and prevent burning yourself out The program is customised for each person, so we will focus more on the aspect you need to improve on.

"The most effective tool for me to use when managing our busy practice was 'SINK or SWIM'.  This strategy enabled me to keep working productively when under a lot of pressure. I was able to overcome the draining effect of negative people and not lose my confidence when staff were critical or difficult. I realised that I must not base my self confidence on what other people think, but rather on my achievements and an honest assessment of whether I was doing my best. In management, a lot comes with the turf and I have been able to toughen up and deal with pressure from all directions a lot better. The 'SINK or SWIM' strategy helps you to organise your thoughts and use logic rather than emotion to get through difficult situations."   Kathy, age 47 Manager Western Australia "I approached Michael for personal, motivational, coaching.  In our sessions, Michael would explain, outline and eludicate methods and techniques to gain optimal performance in life.  Over the program, I noticed sizable improvement in my business, personal and spiritual life.  I found myself more motivated, passionate and enthusiastic; more equaimous in my approach to problems and more articulated with my way of setting goals and targets. I have no hesitation in recommending Michael Licenblat to anyone.  Michael is extremely professional in his approach, highly personable and, in my experience, truly effective.   Dean Sholl Director, Goldey Pty Ltd T/as 'The Pound'  (Melbourne, Australia) “Michael Licenblat worked with me as a Life Skills/Inspirational coach formally for the past several months and informally for the over 6 years. Michael is clearly passionate about his area of work and ‘walks his talk’ through all life’s ups & downs. He has always been very thoughtful, thorough, knowledgeable and humorous in his teachings and friendship. I have personally found Michael to be a real inspiration in my life. He has always put a smile on my face and has given me countless tools to get more out of my life and give back more to life in return. I feel that I have grown and am more empowered in all areas of my life as a result of my contact with him and see life as more of an adventure than I have done in the past. In short, Michael is a great guy who has a lot to offer in the arena of life coaching and life in general. I feel fortunate to know him.” John Giles Physical Education Teacher “…..As well as being a very good listener, he would always offer some practical, thoughtful and most importantly, positive advice. I think this last adjective aptly sums up one of Michael’s most salient qualities – positivity. The great thing about this is that it is not blind optimism, instead his positivity is very grounded and realistic. When I was talking with him about problems I was having finding a job, rather than telling me something along the lines of, “just hang in there champ”, I remember him offering some useful advice I was able to then put into practise. ……Michael played a vital role in helping me stay positive and motivated through an extremely challenging patch of my life. After I worked through this tough period with the help of a number of people, including Michael, my life has gone from strength to strength. I am now I am an extremely positive, confident and motivated person excited by the future ahead of me. The person I am now is far removed from the person I was a few years ago. This is due to many factors, one of the most important though, is the impact a number of select people have had on me. I can say without any doubt that Michael was one of about five people during this period that had a crucial impact on my life. It is hard for me to understate the respect I have for Michael Licenblat. I think he has a special ability to relate to and motivate people." Christopher Hobson Masters Student
