Hello! I hope your summer (and winter for readers on the Southern
Hemisphere) is going well! Thank you to all of you who took time
to respond to the Escape Stories reader survey – I very much
appreciate it. I got valuable insights to who you all are and how
ES can best support you. You can see some of the highlights from
the survey in the sidebar on the left.
In this issue, there is no ‘escape story’, as I’m collecting
new ones as we speak. There are quite a few other events etc going
on so I thought I’d put together an August issue to make sure you
found out about these on time. In addition, I’ve started a
‘tool/exercise of the month’ as some of you requested in the
survey - this first one starts by exploring your passions and
inspirations - enjoy!
Until next month then – passion, inspiration and joy!
Satu :)

EXERCISE: Passion, Inspiration & Joy
As I wrote in my intro, this will be a new addition to Escape
Stories – exercises and tools that are aimed to help you in your
thought and escape processes. We’ll start with an exercise that
helps you to explore what brings you passion, inspiration and joy.
Let me know any insights you get from doing this and/or any
feedback you may have on the types of exercises/tools you would
like to have access to in the future. |

Inspiring Read

Awaken the Giant Within by Anthony Robbins
I’ve recommended this book to two people in the past week, so
thought it might be useful to all of you as well.
The first recommendation went to an old friend, who has huge
potential and desire to do big things, and yet is finding it
difficult to access the confidence he used to have, and is thus
limiting his own potential. So why did I recommend this to him?
This book is great inspiration and gives practical ideas for how
to get out of your own way, and as the title says: Awaken the
Giant Within!
The second recommendation went to a client, who wanted to
explore her weaknesses. The chapter on beliefs was an eye-opener
for her, as she understood that her limiting beliefs about herself
were actually her biggest weakness.
It’s written in bestseller type style, but as my client said:
it doesn’t hurt to see how easily positive life can be, if you
just choose it to be. So if you are seeking inspiration and ideas
for how to change your limiting beliefs and attitudes into
empowering ones – read this book! |

Make a Difference – and a Living – in CSR

Have you had your eye on the CSR field for a while, but aren’t
sure if it’s for you and even if it was, what you could possibly
do within it? This workshop is for you if you have been searching
the field, but you don’t know where to look any more, and you want
clarity around what’s available to you, how to access it, what you
have to offer, what you really want to do and what your best next
steps are.
We give you access to experts in the field, plenty of resources
and information on the field – and personal coaching and exercises
that will help you make sense of it for you.
JUMPSTART - Get Out of Your Career Rut
November 5-6, 2005 Central London
Do you want to leave your job, but aren’t sure what you’d do
instead? You’ve been hoping things would change for the better,
but they haven’t, and now you just need to get out? You might have
some ideas of what to do, but you want to be sure and there’s
never the time. If so, this unique weekend has been designed to
support you in answering these questions and moving forward. We
will use cutting- edge tools and exercises to get to really know
your unique passions, strengths and preferences and you will walk

Group Career
Coaching
|
| |
Would you like to embark on career coaching but would prefer to do
this in a group environment? I’ve recently had several enquiries
for group coaching, and need a few more people to confirm before a
group could start.
Basically, at the end of this program, you will have a clear plan
outlining your needs,values, transferable skills, strengths and
experiences, a direction for your career based on your passions
and interests, and an action plan to move you forward.
The programme consists of 12 one hour phone sessions in a group of
3-4 people over a 4 month period. You would benefit not only from
being coached by me but also by sharing experiences with your
group members. As it's telephone-based, anyone from anywhere in
the world can join!
A group coaching session costs 30 pounds (compared to 65-80 pounds
for one-to-one sessions) – so the monthly rate for this programme
is 90 pounds, and the whole programme totals at only 360 pounds!
Interested? Email me at
coach@satukreu la.com for more information and to book a free
phone consultation session.
If you prefer one-to-one sessions, and want to explore how you
could benefit from coaching, email me to book a free phone
consultation session to further discuss your situation.
