What are we doing to our kids?

Community : What are we doing to our kids?

by Carolyn WilliamsPowerNetworker on 23-Mar-09 1:39pm
‘Every child deserves a happy childhood and the chance to grow and experience a full life’

So soon after enjoying being spoiled by my ‘grown up;’ daughter and her husband for ‘Mothers Day’ yesterday, and then reading these headlines ‘Calls from suicidal young and teenagers rising’ prompted me to write this Blog.

Calls from suicidal young rising
The number of children in Wales calling a helpline with suicidal thoughts has risen four-fold in five years, a charity says.
Experts look to reduce bullying
The conference will examine successful methods of tackling bullying
Education professionals are meeting to look at ways of reducing bullying in Welsh schools. Delegates at the one-day conference in Cardiff will discuss new and existing initiatives to address anti-social behaviour.

On a personal note, I feel the years of experienced parenting to be the most valuable contribution I could give my two, as individuals in their own right and to society. For me and many other mums, it is my biggest achievement!! If you have a close bond with your children and like me, in addition, be lucky enough to be an experienced Educational Professional, you get to see the pressures ‘our young’ are facing today to achieve.

This topic has been discussed so many times by professional members through Blogs. Many members, work closely with young people. Technology alone, does not encourage youngsters to explore the wonders of Nature freely and subjects close to their hearts. These became known as field studies. Learning to cook and be able to deliver that ‘master dish’ to the table ( travelling miles to school on a bus) without spilling a drop, a miracle. Then the feeling of excited responsibility of roaming from field to concrete courts to play sports has been replaced by the fear of being sued. Religious Education became Moral Studies and of course, so many of the mathematics and scientific subjects, favoured by ‘the boys’, are now sought after by all. And yet the take up of women in IT in the UK, is at an all time low.

So how can we help our kids to feel the thrill of exploring the Big world, without bombarding them with more and more targets to achieve before they get to enjoy the excitement of one?

Children need to feel safe, loved and secure to learn through play and exploration
As responsible parents and professionals what is the answer? What do you say?

Who am I?

Business : Who am I?

by Carolyn WilliamsPowerNetworker on 15-Mar-09 3:53pm
I distinctly remember a Welsh Assembly Minister, land first thing one morning on the door step of our Cyber – Training Cafe.
This was a few years ago prior to ‘Comic Relief’. He plus his film crew, wanted to have a ‘photo shoot’ inside this
(then) up and coming Cyber Cafe. I opened up most mornings. This was a 7 day a week Cyber Centre and he – the minister, was waiting for me to open up. He had no idea who I was and insisted I let him in first, so that he could have his ‘photo shoot’!!
So when I stopped him and asked the obvious most sensible question, ‘Who are you’? He was quite ‘put out’! 
He repeated several times ‘Don’t you know who I am’? To which I quickly answered with..’No, and it’s obvious you don’t know who I am’.

Anyway this brings me to the punch line ….Who am I?

I am Lifestyle Online – Lifestyle and Online 
I help people balance work versus relationships and the effects this has on their health and fitness.

Michael Q “Green Net Guy” Todd spoke about Roger Hamilton’s Wealth Dynamics Experience on FB last week. He said ‘Hamilton speaks a lot about Station Names’.
Everyone round the world is buzzing about on their own train and occasionally visiting stations.
You need a name or no one will visit. Once you get them there you have to give them value!! so they will;

1. Stay for a while
2. Come back
3. Recommend you to people

You have to make this easy for them to do.
He continues…’ I am a Star profile’ Stars more than other profiles must control what people say about them.
Oprah Winfrey, Tiger Woods, Tom Jones (Well he is Welsh! ).They have built their brand on us knowing what they do.

I offer value as a Wellbeing Coach both Online and in the Work Place. I am reliable, established and passionate about my work and my clients.

Thank you Michael Q “Green Net Guy” Todd , I learnt something from your post. How about you? What can I say about you?

Social : Wales versus Italy – Alun Wyn Jones takes over as Wales Captain

by Carolyn WilliamsPowerNetworker on 14-Mar-09 9:23am

Wales face Italy in Rome today aiming for an emphatic win that would set up a potential Six Nations decider against Ireland seven days later.

Wales make nine starting line-up changes as coach Warren Gatland seeks improved strength in depth.
Lock Alun Wyn Jones takes over as Wales captain and Gavin Henson starts for the first time in a year
Ospreys lock Jones, who will become Wales’ 127th captain when he leads his side out is partnered at lock by Newport Gwent Dragon Luke Charteris.

“If I was playing against Italy I would be excited about both the opportunity which presents itself and, looking around me, about the team which has been selected,” Gatland added.
If Wales plays like Alun Wyn Jones sings the Welsh National Anthem, then we are in for a great, passionate match.

Singing all the way ‘Wales! Wales! Wales!’

Work versus relationships

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

 

Work versus Relationships – Lifestyle Coaching for a work life balance

Big changes require new ways! Find out how to front up to old and annoying habits. Old habits hold you back!
When I coach a new business client, I look at their Work life balance.I also look at their lifestyle in a wellbeing
sense. I give them a questionnaire to fill out, which helps them to focus on specific areas of their health. This includes their
health status, fitness, relaxation and eating habits.

We then take a look at their work life and how they divide their time between home and work. Please take a look at these categories. Be absolutely honest with yourself about how much time you spend on each. This is a useful exercise to help you focus on which parts of our life, need the most attention.

Business / Career
Health
Family and Friends
Money
Personal Growth
Physical Environment
Romance/Significant other
Fun and recreation

My lifestyle coaching looks at what areas may be neglected by focusing too much attention on one or two areas of our daily tasks. Encouraging individuals or companies to become aware of a work life balance can improve the quality of both.

Do you think this would help you and your family members?

Networking and Netwalking Time

Monday, March 9th, 2009
SISAB 2008 witnessed a 40% increase of national and international presence and surpassed all the initial expectations of its organization. The space was filled in with the finest selection of the most important Portuguese companies of the following sectors: wines, soft drinks, fish and seafood, livestock, dairy products, confectionery, fruits, vegetables, organic products, etc.
Vitoria koi wines were there with M.cunha, since in just two and a half days Victor was in contact with the main deciders of the 400 biggest Portuguese companies of the food and beverage sector.

Victor materialized business deals in order to guarantee representation and promotion of Douro valley wines and products in the markets that he represented based on competitive advantages and quality of Vitoria koi products.
Vitoria koi has been growing and Victor seeks importers for wines, olive oil, honey, jams, and Portuguese traditional products and lately with frozen food for catering.. Vitoria koi promotes Portugal and Douro Valley in a very strong and powerful manner: tourism in Flor do Monte Hotel and with Barca Douro on the river Douro.

Come and network with Victor in person at My International Wellbeing Networking Event on May 8th, at CafeTwoCann, 7pm, J Shed,Swansea Waterfront, Swansea and at Oldwalls, Gower on Saturday, May 9th 4pm, where you can net walk with myself and Victor Wine/Foods/Olive’ Oil Star’ Marques. who will be main Guest, along with Tanya Igic

Sunday – How do you switch off?

Sunday, March 8th, 2009

by Carolyn Williams on 8-Mar-09 11:07am

 
 
The media are not in the Business of printing or highlighting Good News!!
 Over the past few weeks my Inbox, have included a few pm’s from friends, who have taken a sabbatical wink from ecademy, to focus on both their personal and business health. For me they are wise decisions. Then again yesterday, while shopping in Sainsbury (as you do ) I bumped into a successful business owner – someone, I had not seen for six years. We exchanged niceities – asking after our respective families and wellbeing. Then I asked him how his new business was standing up to the economy downturn? ‘Never been so busy or better’ was his reply, adding …’it’s true that for some businesses, it’s dire, whereas for others it’s much busier!!’

Focus on your Wellbeing and relax! 

 msn

Relax your mind and body – Watch your tummy rise and fall with your breath. See if you can make room in your rib cage, then tummy for that rise and fall.

Remember watching your babies, checking to see if they are breathing?  What went wrong? Do we forget to breathe deeply and enjoy that relaxed feeling of warmth, and love. The type of love security brings? 

Tides ebb and flow. Watch your incoming and out going breath get deeper the more you relax.  For the best night’s sleep, wind down with a bubble bath, candlelight and music, yoga, or a good book. Practice looking at your tummy before you fall asleep. You’ll be surprised how quickly you drift off and sleep better if your mind and body aren’t wound up.  If you exercise on the way home from the office, try reserving some relaxation ’rise and fall’ breaths before you eat your evening meal.  Agreed, your health comes first!

Tell us how you switch off?

Fess Up Time

Social : Fess Up Time

by Carolyn WilliamsPowerNetworker on 7-Mar-09 11:52am
Do you remember this Guy?

I was told I put the important question on the table, and that your posts merely provided a partial answer. So here are a
few I had on weight loss this week. Mario posted ‘But yes i think diet is the root ~ people keep eating hearty food as if they were going to work the land’

Then Wayne messaged me ‘Hello Carolyn just thought Id drop you a line as its friday and its a little sunnier than usual if not a bit bloody cold.Fess up time, i havent filled the sheet out yet on my drinking habits im going to do it next week. As im offically “off the beers” for a bit you wont see the sweet nectar consumption of old – which is already doing me a world of good
Calories – we used to get on so well!!

Carolyn’s reply ….
‘Great Wayne! It is you who have all the answers to shedding the excess!!
It’s back to the Caveman Hunter exercises, or eating ‘only enough’ to work on the…laptop’

 

It may help to fill in Your 7 Day Exercise, Food and Fluid sheet ( you can find a copy on my Wellbeing and the Inch loss Club)

His farewell reply was ‘catch you after the weekend me love’

‘Yes Wayne, you will’
Here’s to feeling so much better!!
