Spring 2008 Mpowerme Newsletter
How lucky am I?
There is a saying – ‘find out what you are passionate about and turn it into a job’. I am really lucky to have been able to find a career that I am passionate about. I get to work with clients who ultimately have a better quality of life afterwards by helping them to take the time to understand themselves and what they truly want. I love learning and developing. My job enables me to read, research and attend training to keep myself up to date with any tools or knowledge that can help both myself and my clients! As a coach I do take my own advice and use my tools and techniques in my own life.
Here’s what Mpowerme is up to over the next few months;
Positvely Coffee
Positively Coffee was set up in January by popular request received from clients and colleagues who wanted somewhere to go to be positive. Somewhere they could remind themselves that ‘we really are in control of our destiny’ and to find a few more tools for the journey.
Click here to read more about the first Positively Coffee meeting.
If you would like more information on any of the above events, please visit the Positvely Coffee page on this blog. If you wish to attend, please book in advance.
Women’s Networking and Peer Learning
Have you heard about The Women’s Networking Company – Connecting Women in Business?
The Women’s Networking Company have numerous network and premier business groups across the South. I am pleased to say that I am hosting the new Petersfield Premier group.
Business Link Peer Learning Group
Business Link is a nationwide self-help organisation offering action-focused information for small and medium businesses.
On the 30th April I will be doing a presentation to the Peer Group ‘Your business, your stress, top tips for survival’ at Sparsholt College Winchester.
If you are a small business and have not joined the Peer Group, do take a look at the Business link web site and see more about the benefits of networking, meeting like minded people, getting your company known and hopefully learning along the way too. Like to know more?
Tell Me About It…
We live in a society now where people are always busy, where it often feels that no one has time for us. Work, children, education, and careers - the list is endless, lots of things that always seem to come before we look after our own needs.
You may be struggling and cannot talk to work colleagues, your partner may too be stressed out so you don’t burden them, or perhaps you have no partner. You may want to change a relationship, have a relationship, change career or start up a business but you have no idea where to start.
A good place to start is with a coaching session.
Sit down with someone who is going to focus on you 100%, you don’t have to worry about anything else but you – now how often do you get this luxury? – pure ‘me time’, you are worth it, live life to the full. Make that call to Mpowerme now 023 8061 8388.
‘When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.’

It’s Springtime – Spring Clean
We live in a materialistic society, we are always looking for the next thing we need.
Our cars, worth potentially thousands, sit on the drive whilst the garage is full of junk that we don’t want to get rid of in case we need it one day.
Our wardrobes are over flowing with clothes that we can no longer even get in to but one day we might (and if we do we will probably find out they are not even in fashion anymore)!
Our kitchens are full of gadgets we will never use.
We have mobile phones and BlackBerry’s, we are now contactable 24/7, never a moment to ourselves. We have Ipods or MP3’s, various play stations, DVD’s, widescreen TV’s, the cinema experience in the home, all of which we use to block out the world that engulfs us.
We stack up the post on the kitchen work top, always dealing with it another day, we write lists of things to do and lose them; we can never find the MOT certificate, home insurance documents or letter for the school trip when needed – sound familiar?
How can we change things for the better?
Have a spring clean, have a clear out. Bag up your clothes that don’t fit and send them off to the charity shop. Do not fall into the trap of bagging them up and putting them in the attic, (which is probably overflowing with stuff you might need one day!)
Sort out those files for the household paperwork and use them!
Be good to yourself – let it go. Enjoy the quality of being able to find things. It truly will be a weight off both your mind and your shoulders, it really is therapy!

Rocking Year
We hope you enjoyed our first Mpowerme Newsletter. If you have any feedback you would like to give us, please do, or if you have any ideas you would like to see explored in the next issue (later this year) just drop us a line.
In the meantime, enjoy the sunny weather and think about making 2008 a rocking good year for you too by contacting Mpowerme. Even independent people can struggle alone, dependant people can drain others and never take any responsibility, interdependent people believe that they can have a great life, they seek out those that can benefit them and work together to ensure they live life to the full. Can Mpowerme benefit you?
Best wishes,
Janet Ashfield
