Andrew Nicholson (Connect To Your Potential)

CONNECT TO YOUR POTENTIAL - We are Andy Nicholson and Diane MacDowall. We are partners in life and business, and we are passionate about what we do, which is to help people transform their lives to achieve their potential in life.

For Individuals and Organisations we offer workshops, training and Breakthough days for individuals, for couples and now for parents and their children (of all ages 14 and above):

WORKSHOPS
Workshop 1 - Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway®
Workshop 2 - Connect to Your Potential
Workshop 3 - Intimate Relationships - From Striving To Thriving

This is our end-to-end programme designed to transform your life. Each workshop can be taken stand alone, or as part of the full programme.

Workshop 1 - Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway® - the title says it all really! Diane was Susan Jeffers’ first Feel the Fear tutor worldwide and this workshop has developed so much over the 5 years since we first began delivering it. The workshop allows you to release your handbrake on life, metaphorically speaking. Fear and limiting beliefs tend to undermine everything we set out to achieve if we haven't discovered how to break through them. It's like trying to drive a car with the handbrake on. Many people are living with subtle worries that hold them back in everyday life. For instance, worrying too much about what others think of you, the fear of failure, judgement or rejection. These fears tend to follow us everywhere, from meetings with new clients, to making phone calls, to attending interviews, expanding our business, dealing with conflict, making changes, delivering a 40 second 4N slot or delivering a 4Sight presentation. This workshop provides the tools and insights to release you from all these concerns and embrace life in a brand new way with confidence, freedom, enthusiasm and a sense of self-worth.

Workshop 2 - Connect to Your Potential - this does exactly what it says on the tin! If you don’t want help with your relationship, but would like The Complete Owner and Operator’s Guide to You, then this is the workshop for you. We now deliver just one workshop where you can discover your Enneagram type and yourself at a core level. Over the two days, you will align your awareness and thinking  to the very foundation of who you are, and understand how and why you feel and behave as you do. From awareness comes choice… and the potential to master yourself, harness your natural talents and preferences, and align these to a powerful and meaningful purpose and direction. On this workshop you will receive:

• A full personality outline of the negative behavioural patterns your Enneatype plays with you, and how to recognise, catch and change them.
• A comprehensive coaching programme on how to coach yourself through these patterns.
• A tick list of all the actions you need to take for your Enneatype so that you can live to your talents.
• A comprehensive understanding of your values and exactly where you need to take action to live in alignment with them.
• Your human needs and where you need to take action to meet them healthily.
• Your PRISM profile, which will match your brain preferences to the kind of work you’d be ideally suited for.
• All of the above will be aligned with your life purpose, which will be established on day two of the workshop. This will create a complete picture for you of exactly who you are; your talents and strengths, and what you are here to achieve, along with the actions you need to take to set you on your way.
• After the workshop, there will be follow-up homework for you to complete, including a vision board for your future.

OUR THREE BREAKTHROUGH DAYS, DEDICATED TO YOU, AND DELIVERED ON A DAY TO SUIT YOU

Breakthrough Day for an Individual - Your Breakthrough Day will contain the main elements of our  Connect to Your Potential workshop (as above), discovering your Enneagram type in depth, aligning you with your values and needs, discovering your purpose, and then creating a roadmap to set you on your way. We can also include elements of Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway and Intimate Relationships – From Striving to Thriving on request.

Couple's Relationship Breakthrough Day - This Breakthrough Day has been designed so that you can experience a deeply connected and fulfilling relationship. You will both receive:

• Your Personality Types – You will receive your full Enneagram Personality Profiles. The importance of this is explained fully on our Connect to Your Potentialworkshop page, which we’d suggest that you read for a deeper understanding of exactly what this Breakthrough Day will provide you with as a couple. It will explain in depth how your behaviour unfolds depending on how you feel. You will learn what your positive and negative traits are, and the triggers that take you up or down. This will help you understand at a core level who you are and why you respond to life the way you do. We will provide you with the unique dynamics of your two personality types, and details of how you can work together in harmony in all areas of life. For further information on what the Enneagram entails, you can read about it in our recent article called The Most Empowering Question You Can Ask Yourself – Who Am I?.  We also cover your needs, values, languages of love, communication and teamwork, the differences between the sexes, polarity and flirting.You will also both receive:

• Full personality profiles of the negative behavioural patterns your Enneatypes play with both of you, and how to recognise, catch and change them.
• Comprehensive coaching programmes on how to coach yourself and each other through these patterns.
• An individual tick list for each of you of all the actions you can take for your individual Enneatypes so that you can feel great about life.
• A complete and comprehensive explanation of your combined Enneagram relationship dynamics, and how you can support and bring out the best in each other in every area of life.

Breakthrough Day for a Parent and Son or Daughter - This is a day designed so family members can understand one another in a completely new light, communicate effectively and bring out the very best in each other. You’ll find that it often helps to heal wounds, and if there’s been friction in the family, you’ll not only understand why (probably for the first time), but you’ll be able to move past it and change the way you relate.
