The document discusses an integrated approach to living and working that promotes balance and enjoyment. It argues that modern life has become too divided between work and personal life, causing stress. An integrated approach views work as a challenge and fun rather than a duty, allowing one to better cope with demands. The approach draws on being present and aware, treating work as play, and operating from a space of overflow rather than seriousness or ambition. Defining one's own meaning of success is also discussed.
This document provides an overview of Don Martinez's coaching philosophy and services. It discusses how he helps clients take control of their mind and energy to achieve their goals and dreams. Don draws on his own experience overcoming illness through visualization and positive thinking. He teaches clients tools to address challenges, release limiting beliefs, and program their mind for success. Don works with individuals to discover their values and purpose in order to reach their full potential. His executive coaching focuses on enhancing performance through structured interactions that provide objective insights and a synergistic relationship between coach and client.
The document summarizes Stephen R. Covey's book "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People". It introduces the book's main principles organized into four sections: paradigms and principles, private victory, public victory, and renewal. Each habit is then further explained in short passages, with an emphasis on principles of proactivity, beginning with the end in mind, putting first things first, thinking win-win, seeking first to understand then to be understood, synergizing, and sharpening the saw.
The document provides a summary of key principles for living a purposeful life and making a difference. It discusses the importance of being proactive rather than reactive, taking responsibility for one's life, focusing on principles over circumstances, developing self-discipline through good habits, and finding balance across priorities like relationships, work, health and spirituality. The overall message is that maximizing one's worth requires living according to timeless life skills and virtues.
Introducing The Schuitema Thematic (Transcript)Shahbaz Aftab
The document discusses how pursuing self-interest actually undermines personal well-being, group success, and power relationships. It argues that security, fulfillment, power and harmony come from giving to others rather than taking for oneself. A good leader focuses on caring for and helping people grow, using results to achieve excellence in people rather than using people to achieve results. This shifts power relationships from taking to giving, promoting legitimacy, care, growth and harmony over self-interest and its destructive consequences.

How to stop_worrying_and_start_living_effectively_in_the_21st_century (1)hafsahaseeb4
The document discusses what worry is and its effects. It defines worry as feeling uneasy or concerned about something and notes that worry is a sense of fear that can be debilitating for some. It states that worry is normal in life to some degree but too much worry is harmful. The primary form of worry is a sense of vulnerability and powerlessness. It also notes that worry typically involves imagining negative future events and outcomes rather than positive ones.
Over recent years there has been an increase in interest from executives and human resource departments in mindfulness. Most mindfulness professionals attribute this rapid rise in interest to the fact that through MRI’s, brain scans, and rigorously controlled meditation studies we have better science available to us which clearly demonstrates the benefits of mindfulness. From our perspective, the rise in interest is also a response to the fact that we are completely overwhelmed by our limitless access to information and non-stop expectations of connectivity.
Sometimes despite the very obvious, with age we fail to realize and acknowledge that some of our actions knowingly or unknowingly have significant impact on our as well others lives. One such wrong notion believed by people above age of 60 is that their interpretation of remaining fit as synonymous to being employed.
This article does not offer any great insight rather it is an attempt to give new perspective to Declutter our mind. The views expressed in this article have no intentions of hurting the sentiments of older people rather it is an attempt to bridge the gap and to understand the obvious that aging is irreversible process and one must learn to age gracefully.

After decades of service, many question whether they have been successful or failed in life. However, success is difficult to define and means different things to different people. While some view material wealth as a measure of success, others find fulfillment in contributions outside of financial gains. Ultimately, personal success depends on one's goals and achievements. Staying motivated, learning from mistakes, and doing work with passion and sincerity can help one find success on their own terms.

5 key differences between Hard skill and Soft skillsRuchiRathor2

In today's dynamic and competitive market, a well-rounded skillset is no longer a luxury - it's a necessity.
While technical expertise (hard skills) is crucial for getting your foot in the door, it's the combination of hard and soft skills that propels you towards long-term success and career advancement. ✨
Think of it like this: Imagine a highly skilled carpenter with a masterful understanding of woodworking (hard skills). But if they struggle to communicate effectively with clients, collaborate with builders, or adapt to project changes (soft skills), their true potential remains untapped. 😐
The synergy between hard and soft skills is what creates true value in the workplace. Strong communication allows you to clearly articulate your technical expertise, while problem-solving skills help you navigate complex challenges alongside your team. 💫
By actively developing both sets of skills, you position yourself as a well-rounded professional who can not only perform tasks efficiently but also contribute meaningfully to a collaborative and dynamic work environment.

5 key differences between Hard skill and Soft skills
The integrated approach
1. 1
Sam Borrett - Performance Coach: Personal - Business - Corporate
INTEGRATED LIVING
Life’s like that... always everything at once!
The world and the way we have approached it has changed
drastically. Not only are people working longer hours, they
have so much information to get through that it is a wonder
many have a life at all. With the individuated approach we
are called upon to do things differently and to view things
differently. If we can close the gap between work and play
and enjoy the chosen work more as fun and as a challenge
of the times, we will be better able to cope with
the enormous load many carry. We will learn to accept that
out of our own choice have we made our life decisions and
that at any stage we are free to change them.

INTEGRATED LIVING
“Everyone has been made for some particular work
and the desire for that work has been put
in every heart.”
Rumi
OBJECTIVES
The objectives are to encourage and educate each person or business to believe in
and experience the power of enthusiasm for the work done and the life chosen. It is
commonly known by health experts that the division between the work place and
peoples’ private lives is a major cause of disease and contributes largely to stress. It is
important to eliminate this distinction and to learn to live a more total and balanced life
where each day life and work are enjoyed to the maximum.
Assisting new businesses, careers, entrepreneurial ventures and professions, all form
part of the focus of this approach.
THE INTEGRATED APPROACH
This approach is unique in that the assumption from which we begin is that we already
have what it takes to change our lives; perhaps a little refinement here and there-
perhaps the development of a few more life skills, but intrinsically we only need
encouragement and the hint of a new possibility. Our minds will do the rest.
The root meaning of education is “to draw out” and we have been more programmed
to fill ourselves with information, which sabotages our intuition and real intelligence.
So it is essential to realise the difference between information, knowledge intuition and
wisdom. Each has its place and the integration of all these qualities is the path of the
intelligent person.
WHAT IS RESPONSE-ABILITY?
It is more accurate to think in terms of “response-ability” than responsibility.
With responsibility, we do things out of duty become resentful and are generally
unhappy about our lot in life. With response- ability whatever we have to do has to be
done now, because yesterday is no more and to-morrow has not come yet. All that is
available to us is to day and today is enough. And whatever we do, we do with a joyful
heart and enthusiasm.
This fresh approach called response-ability is not polluted by worry, duty, seriousness
or burden, but is more a playful and imaginative response to life. As we develop
response-ability, our intelligence and intuition increase and we are confident about our
decisions and choices. We can either react or we can respond to each situation.

Mobile 0410 473 068, samborrett@gmail.com, www.mentoring4change.com
3. 3
Response has nothing to do with memory; it has something to do with our awareness.
You see the situation out of clarity and you act accordingly, intelligently and
independently of the psychological memory of the past.
ENERGY, FREEDOM AND CHOICE
As soon as we acknowledge that we are capable of changing our lives the next step is
to change our energy patterns and beliefs. Over years of habitual thinking as well as
an ingrained mind-set we have grown accustomed to believing that the niche we have
carved out for ourselves is the only avenue available. However there are ways to
change our circumstances if only we could admit that we would like things better. If we
can do this then we will have the strength and determination to change our lives.
“Choose from your freedom to give meaning to your work- meaning rather than
importance. Intrinsic in meaning is the door to totality. Intrinsic in importance is the
door to seriousness.”
With meaning and totality there is an endless supply of energy. With importance and
seriousness, our work will be a struggle and we all know it.
A BETTER WORK SOLUTION
Work should be considered more as a play and the one who succeeds at this game is
simply the better player. The fact is that we can all become players of this game. We
have become very serious about work and very ambitious about its end results. This
often contributes to a state of tension, disease, illness and anxiety, all of them
absolutely unnecessary.
With ordinary work the real thing is just about the future, about the end result. In play
there is no result as such and the process is totally enjoyable. This does not mean
we do not get the work done. In fact we get a lot more done as we are coming from
a different space inside and working long hours sometimes, is a pleasure not

FEAR OF TOTALITY
One of the central factors affecting our work and our relationships is our fear of totality,
participation and involvement. The usual incredible activity surrounding all our lives is
not total unless it has within it the element of awareness, relaxation and enjoyment.
Unless it has these qualities, the activity is purely” busy-ness.”
With awareness of ourselves, our actions, thoughts and feelings, work is transformed
into a higher possibility. Simply put, this is awareness of what happens within us while
we work. With this new outlook working as a means to knowing ourselves can be the
foundation to living more totally whether in relationships or work.
At this new level we can work more from a state of overflow and discover that our
work has become a game that we play and one at which we can do extremely well.
Through this change we cannot help but succeed and succeed we will. One of the
sure signs of knowing whether we have been total is that when total energy is involved
we never feel exhausted and at the end of the day we will still be operating at high
octane.
WORK AS A KEY TO RELAXATION
One of the fundamentals is that energy needs work otherwise the energy will become
restless. Energy needs expressing, energy needs to be creative. However, if the busy
and active person cannot relax, the work becomes obsessive and the person
becomes driven, over ambitious and neurotic. So the paradox remains- unless we can
work and enjoy we cannot really relax; and unless we can relax silently when needed,
we cannot really work totally.
THE CAMEL, THE LION AND THE CHILD
There is an analogy, which can be very helpful in finding out from which space we are
functioning in work and in our relationships. It is referred to as the Camel, the Lion and
the Child. As a camel one feels as if he ought to contribute or work and usually does
as he is told, follows authority and has a feeling of being owed something. As a lion
one contributes when and where she/he wants and this can accompany a strong or
subtle concern for outer freedom. However as a child he is eager, willing and
adventurous, able to be spontaneous and is more concerned with inner freedom.
While we work it can be beneficial to observe in what space we are and from which of
the above energies we are operating. As we become more aware of the habit patterns
that drive us, we gradually learn to be more empowered in our dealings with others
and we are able to tap into the strength and decisiveness appropriate for intelligent
action.

THE HEIRARCHY OF NEEDS
There is a hierarchy of needs known as Maslow’s system and briefly put the principles
are that for personal fulfilment specific needs must be met. Some of them are
physiological such as food, water and exercise. Yet others are concerned with safety
such as security, order and protection. There are also social needs like belonging,
love and esteem, needs of prestige, status and acknowledgement. Unless there is
some deep satisfaction in regard to these needs, at some level it will be difficult to
relax and the recognition of our essential nature not easy to attain.
WHAT DOES SUCCESS MEAN TO YOU?
In defining success it is important to establish the meaning for each of us as this word
means different things to everyone. One of the ways to fine-tune our radar is to find
out what it is we want.
Mostly people do not know what they want and this of course adds to the confusion.
Often they tend to believe that they are better off than others and therefore should not
complain. However this belief is of no use to them and in fact does not assist them in
finding out what they want.
How will you know when you get what you want and what would you be doing?
What would you feel and where would you be? Once you find what it is that fulfils you,
the rest is easy and the energy to do what is required follows automatically.
WHAT IS THE WESTERN ENIGMA?
It is a very Western idea to have a separation of work and enjoyment in our society.
There needs to be a totally new vision which does not split life into work and rest and
this can only be done on an individual level. Relaxation and work are not opposite; it is
a wrong notion to think you are working too hard and need a rest. If we enjoy totally
whatever we are doing this split will disappear and we will be far more productive,
happier and relaxed.
This new vision is radical and will contribute to a healthier person in body, mind and
spirit. Furthermore the many things which overwhelmed us and we were simply
incapable of doing will now be possible.

WHY NOT MAKE WORK RESPECTABLE?
Another approach that can dissolve the split between work and rest is to make all
work respectable and change the attitude that surrounds it. Awareness and creativity
should be part of the work and in this way everybody can experience work in a totally
unique way.
Not only would our communication be clearer but also those constant
misunderstandings that often sabotage our business and personal life would
disappear. We all want to get along better with each other, and respect the work our
fellow human being has decided to follow.
Working with these new principles will radically change the way you do business,
conduct your relationships, increase your energy, and move you towards the goals
you wish to achieve.

Testimonials
Over about 3 months, Sam Borrett has supplied cutting edge information to my
company and to me and in that period I have observed that he has a very innovative
approach on how to get the most out of employees, the general work situation and
how to see what is in the way of accelerated and rapid progress.
The usual question he asks initially is “If I could show you how you were stopping
yourself achieving the outcome you wanted, would you be interested?” How many
people would say ”No?”If other companies understood the psychology of “working on
your business,” instead of “working in your business,” there would be a lot of happier
business owners. I would not hesitate recommending him to any individual, business
or company that wants to get more leverage out of their natural resources and more
enjoyment while they rework their work.
Garry Burling, CEO, LJ Hooker North Sydney
“I was working for a small legal firm and was continually being told what to do. As I
was never receiving any encouragement I never gave my best. After coaching with
Sam for some time I left the job and started my own practice. There is now more
responsibility, excitement and personal reward in my life. I am very grateful to him for
his inspiration and practical know-how which gave me the start I was looking for.”
JF, Solicitor, San Souci
“I was working as a secretary for many years and always talking about being a
therapist. With the principles adopted and Sam’s persistent approach and
encouragement that I could be what I wanted to be, I dropped my job and started my
own business within 6 months. I had been trying for years to get out of the job and
also using what I thought to be some very powerful methods. Having now done it I
realise that it was always within my grasp but that I had only lacked the proper
tools and the right inspiration.”
LCR, Remedial Therapist, Pymble
“The work I have done with Sam has given me the courage to allow myself to create a
space within, to live my life with full creativity and a loving heart. This same space has
also made it possible for me to connect with my personal power to create what I desire
for myself in my life, on all levels. Which until that day, I had only ever dreamt of.
For this Sam I am eternally grateful.”
RSC, Counsellor, Trauma Therapist, Kogarah
“As a Graphic Designer, I am very good but lacked the confidence to manage a team
and gain the support of my managers. With the Mentoring program I embarked upon
with Sam, I realised that some of my old self-defeating patterns had too strong a grip
on my life. Through gentle yet powerful processes, Sam guided me through a series of

opportunities that have now given me the confidence and creativity I needed in my
professional and personal life.
P. Atol, Graphics Designer, Rice Daubney,
Architects, North Sydney
“I have been a Real Estate Developer for over 30 years and have made fortunes and
lost them again. I seemed to be going around and around in circles exhibiting a
predictable yet destructive cycle of gain and loss.
Through an extensive re-assessment of my personal values I have turned my life
around completely and now look to a very bright future of wealth, security and self-
esteem, which up until now had escaped me. I will be recommending Sam’s Mentoring
Program to anyone in business or a profession, who feels like they have lost their way
and need some light thrown on their situation and would like a new start.”
K.B.H, Director Killara
“When I met Sam, I had got through most of my inheritance on unsound investments,
through poor judgment and lack of clarity and low self-worth. Over a period of three
months on the Professional program, I slowly began to find my way back to my
original clarity and energy.
Now, that the program is over I feel strong and resolute and have now begun to write
the books and market myself the way I have always wanted. Without the
encouragement and clarity provided by the program I would have been unable to see
the way ahead.”
J.S.C. Conscious Awareness thru Health, Coogee
My profession is that of a lawyer and I came to know about Sam from one of the
senior partners from another firm. He had been encouraged by Sam to first find what
he liked about the law before he threw it in. Sam helped me through a very difficult
stage of wanting to throw the practice away, as well as my partnership and everything
I had worked for.
Sam had run his own legal practices and was well versed in the subtle dangers that go
with success, prestige, respectability and money; what is more important he
understood the price you can pay for these in real terms.
For obvious reasons I cannot state my real name here as my partners were unaware
of my dilemma when I hit the wall of meaningless; other lawyers know what I mean. It
will be sufficient to say that Sam helped me though a most difficult time and inspired
me to find a new meaning in my life and what is more, a meaning about which I had
been unaware prior to the coaching.
