The iCoach Announces the Launch of its New Conscious Dating Module in Partnership With the Relationship Coaching Institute

David Steele, founder of the Relationship Coaching Institute ® discusses the concept of Conscious Dating in the video below:

The iCoach is proud to announce the launch of a new free Romance module developed by the Relationship Coaching Institute ® for inclusion in The iCoach.  The module supports ‘singles’ looking for lasting love by application of the Relationship Coaching Institute’s trademark process, Conscious Dating.  The Conscious Dating process assesses the individual’s readiness for a relationship, as well as other factors, to help them in determining what their next steps should be towards finding the love of their life and the life that they love.

This new free Romance module, Conscious Dating, was developed and contributed by Relationship Coaching Institute for The iCoach, and is available now on the AppStore. The content is aimed at singles and has been launched just in time for Valentine’s Day.  It aims to give customers the best possible chance of building strong foundations for a lasting and fulfilling future relationship during this traditional season of romance.

The module is free to download for all customers of The iCoach so this valuable material can be available to all users of The iCoach interested in developing this important area of life!  Users will be introduced to Conscious Dating methods and concepts, such as the five truths of Conscious Dating, and the fourteen dating traps, essential to all those currently dating; as well as be introduced to dating strategies that can help them to succeed in their current or next relationship.  Each step of the Conscious Dating strategy comes with clear, sensible explanations and breaks the process down into steps such as exploring purpose, focus, and screening criteria – which helps the individual grow and understand themselves better in order to align themselves for the relationship they want and deserve.

Individuals looking for a lasting, committed relationship are welcome to try the module which is a free download from within The iCoach App, and also to check out the Conscious Dating website, at their convenience, to get more information on the Conscious Dating process and what it entails.

If trying to maintain balance in your life makes you feel like a tightrope walker, you’re not alone. Most of us have so many demands on our time and energy, life can feel like a three-ring circus. Take this quiz to see how well you are meeting responsibilities, while also recognising and fulfilling personal needs and wants.

1. The only way I can successfully manage my life is to take care of myself physically and emotionally.



2. Nurturing myself increases my capacity to help others.



3. I eat healthily and exercise regularly.



4. I get health check-ups, go to the dentist, and take preventative precautions.



5. I set aside personal, quiet time for myself, whether I’m meditating or simply letting my thoughts drift.



6. I experience the gifts of each season: ice skating, sledding, bundled-up beach walks; gardening, hiking, more time outside; camping, swimming, barbeques; gathering wood, spending more time inside.



7. Creativity nurtures me. I do what I love, whether that’s cooking, drawing, painting, writing, dancing, singing or another creative pursuit.



8. Reaching out to others enriches my life. I spend quality time with family and friends.



9. Contributing to the world provides connection and purpose, so I give my time, energy and experience where it is most useful.



10. I notice and heed the emotional signals that tell me I’m out of balance: irritability, overwhelm, resentment.



11. If I feel that I’m catching a cold, I realise I may have stressed my immune system with overactivity, so I stop and take care of myself.



12. When I need or want to, I say no to requests for my time.



13. I listen to and honour the requests my body makes for such things as a nap, a walk in the fresh air, more green vegetables, or hot soup.



14. If I have something planned for myself, I don’t just toss that aside when someone makes a request of me.



15. I’m busy, but I find time to do the things I want to do.



16. I’m happy.  I regularly experience well-being, contentment, and even joy.

Working with More Focused Attention

“I hear it from my coaching clients every day: The workplace is more competitive than ever, and there is no reprieve in sight”

This is the opening sentence of Ann Daly’s post, How to Break Through the Glass Ceiling.  Despite what its title might imply, this post is full of helpful stuff for both genders, packed with interesting and useful information on becoming more focused and productive.

The post ends with a Top Ten list of tips for working with more focused attention, summarised below. You can read the whole article at  http://www.mariashriver.com/blog/2011/02/how-break-through-glass-ceiling.  Meanwhile, here’s that summarised list:

Top 10 tips for working with more focused attention

1.     Re-commit to your goals.

2.     Refuse interruptions

3.     Quit multi-tasking.

4.     Schedule everything.

5.     Write a “NOT to-do” list.

6.     Do nothing for 15 minutes every day.

7.     Create explicit workplace processes that encourage big-picture thinking.

8.     Mark boundaries.

9.     Pick up a good book.

10. Declutter your workplace.

Our first module designed to support you in becoming more productive every day is Focus & Clarity.  Visit the page now for more details about the App, available now on the App Store.

Hey! It’s Valentines Day!

We have some treats in store for you today.

First, we’ve cut 40% OFF the price of The iCoach App from now until the 15th February, and have slashed the price of our Perfect Partner module to ZERO! That’s right: it’s free for the next couple of days — a special offer for this annual celebration of love.

And… in the spirit of celebration we’re bundling in free Perfect Job and Mastering Money modules too, to support you in creating strong foundations for an abundant and harmonious future with your romantic partner.

Just visit the App Store (you can click the logo in the right sidebar) to download them. And remember — it’s a very time-limited offer.

Next, a short article with two videos we found for you on:

  • How to Approach Women (this one’s for the guys), and
  • Communication in Relationships.

And, below, some thoughts below that might inspire you if you have yet to plan out your Valentine’s celebration, or are looking for something a bit different to surprise your partner. Have fun, and let us know how it goes.

Looking for New Ideas of Things To Do?

Going out, staying in, buying a gift?  Here are some ideas for what you might do to celebrate.

Eating out together is usually great, but how about something different?

  • A thermal spa?
  • Ice skating?
  • A couple’s massage?
  • A gig or a classical concert?
  • You could book yourselves in for dancing lessons!

Things that you would not normally do together will bring spice to your relationship.

If you prefer to stay at home, how about:

  • Buying a DVD on massage and practicing on each other?
  • Buy some aromatherapy oils to burn and some relaxing sexy music.
  • Buy a Valentine Days special meal for two so you don’t have to cook.

If you can’t celebrate it on the day, pick another day!  It’ll probably be quieter and cheaper.  Or spread it over the whole week and buy one small gift each day.

If you want to give a gift as well or instead, how about getting him or her a subscription to a magazine about something he or she loves.

As my mother used to say, it’s the thought that counts.  It’s the care you put into it that will shine through.   Most important of all, enjoy whatever you do!

…And write to tell us what fun you have!

Perfect Partner Module

Our first module on Romance, Perfect Partner, is available via The iCoach App on the App Store.  Support & reference materials are located on the dedicated page here: Perfect Partner.
