PASSION Toolset: for Initiative Fatigue: Permanently shifting mental blocks of coaches leaders and learning students

The PASSION acronym toolset I have designed acts as a daily guide or even a diagnostic tool such as one you might find on a car dashboard. Once you have set your initial goal/ result required and understand the meaning of each letter, then as daily life occurs, you can refer back to the toolset so as to quickly diagnose where you may have an emotional or mental block to a situation. What the Toolset provides: -a new way to measure and set goals (personal accountability) -a new daily lens for understanding how we experience the world -giving you themes to calibrate with -a feeling context, freedom within a frame -you just need the ideas you don't need the answers The main tenet of Stoicism running through the book is about increasing our: perception/ action/ willpower. Once you have read my definitions of the PASSION tools at the beginning of each chapter, you will begin to see these themes emerging. For example, we have a choice over how we choose to interpret every situation. That there is a big emphasis on just moving forward with small actions. And when things are out of our control, it sometimes takes pure willpower to make the best of it, maybe even something beyond willpower. You could put this down to high performance habits, wisdom or even the more recently over-used word of resilience. More recently I have listened to Robert Greene, the mentor of Ryan Holiday. The two pinnacle ideas he was discussing were: 1/ It's all about being receptive to the negative things - these hold the greatest learnings for us. 2/ Character is our biggest asset and you cannot hide yours, but you can work on it and the patterns as Robert says that are hidden. I would like you to use PASSION to become more aware of YOUR character and decide what are the patterns you want to be responsible for. After you have finished the book, I would love to know what it might have added to your process of navigating life, how you perform and your fulfilment from doing so. At the beginning of each chapter I will give a short explanation of what that particular letter in PASSION stands for. I then use a series of my stories and other people's quotes which give insight into well-lived, relatable experiences in connection to that particular Driver. But unlike a joke which is more about what occurred, quotes are more focused on how successful people have moved past situations. After each quote, I give my take on the quote and what I think it means. Everything we say, do, think, resonates on a certain frequency and as people we don't understand something until we feel it. Therefore the reason I have written PASSION using these carefully selected quotes is to use very powerful, high frequency messages that highlight the importance of each Driver of PASSION. But mostly because these people say it so well. There is no I've got there, so I'm writing a book. I think all non-fiction authors are just progressing on to the next level, of which there are endless steps to summit if you choose to. This attitude could be very useful if used in the context of mental health - people are not just depressed or not depressed, there are always gradients. In fact I see learning as spherical and not linear. Final piece of the toolset is setting a goal. I ask you to tune into your radio frequency of Channel WBB: -WHO - what excites you? -BEHAVIOUR - daily actioning a higher performing behaviour -BELIEF - minimising any limiting belief using the PASSION chapters to calibrate against when coming across any blockages to your set goal. With notes lines on every page, I encourage you to continue your growth. Plus use an opportunity for me to come do a "Fireside Chat" at your company, where I quote from my book & how I use it to calibrate life.

Linda Wheatley, Personal life and development coach at BeTrue 2U All of a sudden the limiting beliefs don't matter and are not running my life. It's a great feeling when you learn to recognise them for what they are. The passion tool has been very useful to us with great results very quickly. It's a fantastic tool to have in your toolbox. The Toolkit makes it so easy to make the connection really quickly. That's the key. Thanks to the amazing Rachael for the fantastic Passion tools and giving us this blessed opportunity to be a part of this life changing project and connecting with you guys in this wonderful group. Look forward to seeing the changes we will all continue to make in 2019. Kizzy Somerset Leadership Coach, "my resilience has been so positively affected by using the PASSION tool. The use of 'P' for Power - has meant I can see where my energy is being lost. It has allowed me to strip everything back. Then with 'A' for Authenticity means I am more living and breathing it. We know up in our head but maybe not living it as coaches as we don't have the reserves that we know to generate. PASSION has given me a Sense of gratitude. A Sense of the kindness of people. It allows me to see I can't change what's happened I Refocus on things and the Importance of what I have. Mark Goodwin The passion and expertise Rachel brings and her personality is a major selling point. Also, the clarity of the resources.If you want to make changes to your life PASSION will support you - the process is accessible and straight forward and the level of support from a first-class coach is superb. There is a personal touch to this programme that you don't always get in this type of coaching and it has certainly helped me to make the changes i want in my life. Highly recommended!! Jaya Such a comprehensive and practical personnel development course. I have gained many insights and the reminders have been invaluable. Agata Szkiela Action Action. Cannot see the obstacles or limiting beliefs anymore. Focusing on actions not results is so empowering! January 12 2019 at 7:38 AM - I was reflecting today on the road I have made from the moment we started our PASSION program. It was a great experience and kept me on track with my goal. The tools helped me clarify my vision and allowed me to focus better on values that are important for me. It was a long journey and although my goal is not here yet, thanks to the tools I was able to identify what is most important to me and how to incorporate my business vision into my life vision with alignment to my values. It was a unique journey that also taught me patience and perseverance and taking better care of myself. It is a deep inner work that can be applied both to personal and professional life, which is unique as other courses usually focus on one of areas of our life. I am grateful I was able to meet you all and hope we will stay in touch and support each other in this group after the program is finished. Thank you Rachael Orchard for this wonderful time together and opportunity to be a part of that journey with all of you. Ines- I am now more alert to my negative thoughts. I like being able to Speak what I think and having a tool to Keep my promises. It has helped me to be honest and I love the Authenticity tool. Plus using the Say tool and how to Stick to goals. The Quotes for me were Amazing as it has been hard for me in the last 3 years. Thank you Rachael for your commitment to giving us the 3 month programme. Ronel - Passion has allowed the reinventing of my 'self'
