Nickolove Lovemore is a Life Coach and a Certified NLP Practitioner who is passionate about personal development. She delivers one-to-one and group coaching programs, personal development workshops, seminars and teleseminars.
Nickolove's coaching clients are primarily women who are establishing themselves as entrepreneurs and are seeking guidance and success strategies to overcome feeling overwhelmed. She works with clients to help them stay focused on personal/business success rather than be distracted by self-imposed limitations and negative beliefs.
She also works with individuals who are putting on hold doing what they love to earn a living, to develop a more authentic and fulfilling lifestyle where, ideally, they are doing work they truly love.
As a Certified LifeSuccess Consultant, Nickolove also delivers the following proven coaching programmes:
The Goal Achiever - a complete program for anyone wishing to set and achieve ambitious goals,
The Winner's Image - designed to bring out the winner in you so you can create your ideal lifestyle,
Mission in Commission - a must for anyone involved in commissioned sales, and
Success Puzzle - for anyone who, despite valiant efforts, is finding success elusive.
Nickolove has worked in the health and fitness field for the past 10 years and has a background in dance. She is a qualified Personal Trainer as well as a group Fitness Instructor and holds a Diploma in Sports Psychology. She has an easy rapport and a highly motivational style of teaching that keeps clients, irrespective of age or gender, coming back for more.
While Nickolove teaches a broad spectrum of classes she currently mainly teaches Pilates. One of the primary reasons her clients enjoy her classes is because they help them to relax and to focus.
Wanting to explore further beyond the physical dimension of fitness, Nickolove also established Positive Body Image. The aim of Positive Body Image is to:
"provide a holistic approach to health and fitness to help individuals improve their physical, mental and emotional well being and, in so doing enhance their self image and help them achieve their full potential."
Programs delivered through Positive Body Image included Live the Life You Love, Optimum Nutrition; Optimum Health (a nutrition course that goes beyond nutrition and weight management but also shows how nutrition can both cause and prevent disease) and Inside Out (a relationship management course that is integrated with colour therapy). It is ironic that the inspiration for Inside Out came from a dance performed by Judith Jamison (Artistic Director of Alvin Ailey).
Nickolove's broad range of experience and holistic approach lends itself well to her coaching practice and Skyline Coaching was, in effect, born out of Positive Body Image.
Like many people, I simply love quotes. The following are just a few of my favourite quotes along with some of my own reflections.
"Every decision you make - every decision - is not a decision about what to do. It's a decision about Who You Are. When you see this, when you understand it, everything changes. You begin to see life in a new way. All events, occurrences, and situations turn into opportunities to do what you came here to do."
Neale Donald Walsch
One of the greatest challenges facing my clients and many of the individuals I meet is the ability to be decisive and take action. It is said that nothing happens unless a sale is made. Well, nothing happens unless a decision is made.
The thing is, many of the decisions we dawdle over on a day-to-day basis are not even a matter of life and death. I recall listening to Alex Mandossian recount the Aesop's fable of the starving donkey. The donkey was starving and before him had an apple and a pear but because he simply could not make up his mind which one to eat first the donkey died of starvation.
Many of us are in a similar position. We don't simply procrastinate about taking ACTION. We procrastinate about making a DECISION as well. This paralyses us and stunts our personal growth.
The important thing in decision-making is simply to make a decision - any decision and then take action. If things don't work out then simply make another decision and take action until you achieve your desired results. You don't always have to get it right and who knows what is right sometimes? You just have to get it going. Don't allow your fear of making a mistake prevent you from taking any action at all.
"Whenever you make a mistake or get knocked down by life, don't look back at it too long. Mistakes are life's way of teaching you. Your capacity for occasional blunders is inseparable from your capacity to reach your goals. No one wins them all, and your failures, when they happen, are just part of your growth. Shake off your blunders. How will you know your limits without an occasional failure? Never quit. Your turn will come."
Og Mandino
Some like to carry out extensive research before coming to a decision. While it is important to analyse the facts pertinent to your situation remember this that the facts are always changing. It is very easy nowadays to amass huge amounts of data before making a decision. You have to know when to say enough is enough and ACT.
Unless you make a decision and act upon it you will not make progress.
"Please understand my friend, that where you find yourself tomorrow is a function of the positive decisions and actions you take today."
Akin A. Awolaja
Many people also spend far too much time dwelling on the past and what might have been. The past is just that. It's over and it's time to move on. You cannot undo the past but you can create your future and the best way to achieve this is not by living moment by moment but to fully live in the moment - to be present.
"I can feel guilty about the past, apprehensive about the future, but only in the present can I act. The ability to be in the present moment is a major component of mental wellness."
Abraham Maslow
When we are truly present our lives take on an exceptional quality.
Your life can a most wonderful and beautiful tapestry. Yet any tapestry, no matter how simple or how elaborate, starts with a blank canvas. The finished product is not an original. In fact, as Bob Proctor once said, there isn't a piece of original art out there for all art, just like our reality which we call life, was first created in the mind.
"The future is not a result of choices among alternative paths offered by the present, but a place that is created - created first in the mind and will, created next in activity. The future is not some place we are going to, but one we are creating. The paths are not to be found, but made, and the activity of making them, changes both the maker and the destination."
Deborah James
The life you currently live is the life you have thus far settled for. You create your reality. Acceptance of this fact alone will lead to major changes in your life. You'd better believe it - you are in control and you become what you think about. Your life is a reflection of your thoughts and feelings.
However, we often doubt this power that has been bestowed upon us - it is indeed a blessing and a curse. When we learn how to control our thoughts we will truly come into our own.
"Because you counter the majority of your thoughts with opposing thoughts, you believe that you are not powerful. When you no longer split your flow of energy with contradictory thoughts, you will know your power."
Abraham-Hicks
We often bemoan the challenges we face in life but it is the challenges that strengthen our character. You think goal achievement is all about the goal - no. There's more truth than you know regarding the journey being more important than the destination. It is about who you become in order for you to achieve your goals.
"Just as a small fire is extinguished by the storm whereas a large fire is enhanced by it - likewise a weak faith is weakened by predicament and catastrophes whereas a strong faith is strengthened by them."
Viktor E. Frankl
People bemoan the lack of opportunities. The truth is opportunities lie all around us. It's often not our situation that has to change but our perspective of the situation. We have to view our own personal landscapes with new eyes and seize the small opportunities that come our way everyday. You never know where they might take you.
Great opportunities will come your way but sadly:
"During their lifetimes, every man and woman will stumble across a great opportunity. Sadly, most of them will simply pick themselves up, dust themselves down and carry on as if nothing ever happened"
Winston Churchill
So be vigilant and don't be afraid of saying "yes" to doing a task even though you may be unsure as to how to carry it out.
Finally, give thanks each and every day for the life you have. The more grateful you are the more you will have to be grateful for.
"If you look at what you have in life, you'll always have more. If you look at what you don't have in life, you'll never have enough."
Oprah Winfrey
