I work a lot with people who are nervous of speaking to groups. Actually, I work a lot with people who are terrified of speaking to groups. One of the tricks I have most found useful was taught to me by an English hypnotherapist called Caroline O’Connell. The way to make this work is to record it and play it back to yourself or have someone read it to you. A word about the ‘punctuation’.

The spiritual view of abundance is not simply about financial wealth, but about abundance in all good t... more...

In my years of teaching and counseling I have come to the conclusion that many people are unsure of what affirmations are, how to use them, what great tools they can be, or what good benefits can be manifested by working with affirmations in both children and adults.

Usually an affirmation is stated in the present moment and in positive verbiage and word... more...

Those who resonate with the title of this article and want to know how to hide and overcome such a shameful and primitive (uncivilised) emotion as anger. And those who are angry at me for even suggesting that it should be repressed. Bear with me for another moment, because just as the emotion of anger isn’t what it seems, neither is this article. A few days ago my own rage burst forth at the... more...

In a magazine publication, the magazine editor knows stress intimately. Working against ever-looming deadlines, she spends her days in and out of meetings, editing and writing copy, and managing her expanding staff of writers and editors.

However, many people do not realize that stress is something you can prevent, no matter how intense your occupation or how fast-paced your daily life is. ... more...

Action taking is one of the most common fears to most people. People fear about the unexpected that will arise after making decision and put it into action.

When considering how to start your presentation, here is a brief list of “don’ts.” Do not start by apologizing, tapping your microphone, or making a joke. A little measured humor in your presentation is fine, but do not start with a joke. Whether you get laughs or not, this is not stand up comedy routine and can get you “side tracked.” Start with your objective and a brief bio. For example: “Good morning, I am Paul Jerard. How would you like to walk away from this workshop with six soluti... more...

Stress reduction is essential for both our long-term physical and emotional health. It can be very hard to deal with everyday events if you are stressed out and eventually you will crack if you don’t deal with the pent up anger, stress and aggression you are holdi... more...

Body, thought, and emotion are intimately blended through complex nerve networks, and function in concert to shape our awareness. Emotions interpret, arrange, direct, and summarize information received through the five senses. They color our perception of the world and we often unconsciously react to them. They are primary and universal survival tools that permit us to experience joy, surprise, sadness, fear, disgust, or threat. Since emotions are linked to survival, they receive neurological me... more...
