Power of Story Telling - the power is in your story

Those who do not have power over the story that dominates their lives, the power to retell it, rethink it, deconstruct it, joke about it, and change it as times change, truly are powerless, because they cannot think new thoughts. —Salman Rushdie We are all born story tellers. We tell stories about our life, our families, [...]

Power vs Empowerment

Virginia Woolf once said “To enjoy freedom we have to control ourselves.” To empower is to call forth the power within. Empowerment is not about giving people power, they already have it - their strengths, talents, skills, abilities, experiences, knowledge and their wisdom. Empowerment depends on strong beliefs, faith and trust in someone’s potential, holding [...]

I am happily married for the past 26 years to the man of my dreams. We share our lives with three amazing children. They inspire me every day and motivate me toLydia Mattison contribute to the world and to see life for the wonderful thing it is. Marriage and Motherhood shows my commitment, responsibility, generosity, and loyalty. It has made me a good listener, communicator, and team player, all of which are essential skills for an ideal coach.

Our Family Business has taught me many organizational skills. Multi-tasking, prioritizing and motivating have proven to be valuable skills in coaching. I am responsible for the creative aspects of the business, research, designs and finishes. In this business we focus on creating external beauty, while I now assist my clients through coaching in making their life a creative expression of who they are. Once we feel beautiful on the inside we cannot help but radiate that brilliance on the outside, so that it affects all areas of our lives and touches all of our relationships. Awareness lets us see the beauty in our lives and by transforming from the inside out, we are able to put our spirit into action.

I have also been able to connect with others, through the hosting of a series of intuitive workshops and one-day seminars with a motivational speaker. Because of meaningful life changing experiences in grief, which began at the age of 15 when I lost my brother, I have been able to talk with and help others walk through the process of grieving and healing. It has taught me empathy and compassion.

I believe that I have been unofficially coaching all of my life, even before I knew there was a name for it, because of this I was inspired to enroll in a training program with an international organization - The International Coach Academy - accredited by the International Coaching Federation. I have had both the experience of being coached and coaching others and I am part of an extremely resourceful coaching community. Having graduated a Certified Professional Life Coach from ICA, I am passionate and inspired to work with Teachers and learners to create inspired learning in our Education , here in Trinidad; an empowering space where teachers love to teach and students love to learn.

I work with clients who are overwhelmed,confused, and stressed, by love, life, and loss and who are seeking to rediscover who they are, remove obstacles, find direction, get clarity, build confidence and make powerful changes. I help them to rediscover their value, skills, talents and ambitions, so that they are aware of their unique gifts to the world. I bring their brilliance into focus. I also work with clients who are suffering silently and alone in grief and need help to move through the process to restore heart and soul to the quality of life.

All you need is an empowering space, the space to focus on you.
