Coach NOA BRUME - Coaching & Training

Have you seen the invitation for our Open Training Event yet?
Let me know if you want the link.

I’m going to tell the whole truth here: In the past few months, I’ve been feeling disconnected from my community, like I’m only sending you information about coaching, and inviting you to webinars and to our coaching training programme, but it all feels one-sided and disconnected.

And me… I’m the champion of connections!
Without modesty: it’s fun to be around me, and in the groups I’m involved with, I’m always the connecting link.
Wherever I go, I’m the one who brings people together.

Our courses are one big connection experience.
My students call The ICCI a family.

So how did it happen that I, of all people, became so distant from you?
I have some guesses (the main one is that I had to hibernate to recover from the cancer episode of a year ago fully) but now is not the time.

Now it's the time to act!

Yesterday, in a conversation with someone who pointed out to me that I’m completely disconnected from you guys, who I love so much, I decided to act spontaneously and return to one of the things I used to do and enjoy so much:
Lunch and Learn.

So, I’ll be on Zoom today at 12:30 Amsterdam time for a spontaneous lesson.
A lesson you can join with or without a camera, and just enjoy.
These lessons are usually up to 30 minutes, and you can sit in front of Zoom with your sandwich and drink. That’s the whole idea: to refresh the brain a little.
You can also go for a walk and just listen.

Here’s the Zoom link.

I’ll be there even if I’m alone.
I feel like giving.
But I hope some of you will join me too. After all, it’s much nicer together.

Imagine spending the next few months with people at your level, many of whom weren’t born in the Netherlands either, many with inspiring life stories, all here to learn to become better people in whatever they do in life, which means they, like yourself, have come to help others—and you’re among them!
⨳
It may surprise you, but the most common fear we have is loneliness.

Not just loneliness, but the fear of rejection—the worry of not being socially accepted or being rejected by others, whether at work, in personal relationships, or life in general.

The reason is simple:

Before the modern age, people lived in tribes that were taking care of and protecting them. Without the tribe, it was tough to survive.

Being cast out of the tribe was a death sentence.

⨳

So, even though humanity has advanced and evolved, parts of our brain are still tribal.

We are social creatures.

And how does this relate to us?

Even though modern technology allows us to connect with people around the world instantly with the push of a button, even though we no longer have the existential fear of not having food without the people close to us, our need to be close to like-minded people—those who share our values and think like us—has only grown stronger.

Without this mental closeness, we feel very lonely:

We get bored when others don’t share our interests.

We struggle in relationships that don’t suit us.

We feel suffocated when we see someone acting according to values completely different from ours.

⨳

And why am I telling you all this?

Because it’s the exact opposite of what happens in our programme:

Coaching for Success - Your Journey to Proficiency in Coaching

In this programme, like-minded people gather—people with similar goals, similar interests, and above all, many shared or identical values:

Everyone wants to learn how to better support others and how to improve their own lives and the lives of others.

That’s why even after the first few hours on the first Training Day, meaningful friendships are formed, lasting for years after the programme ends.

We’re all non-judgmental, supportive, and forming an enriching environment.

How great would it be to be surrounded by a group of people who are almost exactly like you!

⫸⫸ So, what do you say?

Are you in?

We only have 15 places for starting in October 26th, and some have already been taken.

Are you coming?

If you want details, DM me or you can always give me a call at 0650499646.

I'm asking and hoping to get answers from people who have been following me here, and who haven't yet registered to take part in the webinar 'To Thrive in Life by Helping Others'—
Why not?
Was it the date? Or maybe the time of the day?
Is it maybe the content?
Or the 'big' name of the webinar?
Or maybe it's something else completely?
It's really important for me to understand, so I can learn and improve and get people to join me.
I have put such a lot of effort into it, it's going to be so amazing and uplifting!
And it's touching everybody who sees themselves in a place of 'givers' (as parents, as partners, as friends, as colleagues...).
It's truly going to be something special (and I'm not biased 😉).
So I'd appreciate an honest answer. It'll help me improve.
And if you just happen to miss my earlier invitations, here's the link to get more information and register:

We’ll meet a week from today, on Monday 16-09-24 between 19:30 and 21:30 Amsterdam time.
Thank you and see you (I hope),
Noa Brume

Kasia Lyczkowska survived a horrific car accident that shattered her body and to begin with, also her soul.
But then there was a twist.
With courage and clarity, she came to share her story with us on the podcast.

This episode is all about learning how to rise from life’s toughest challenges. It’s highly recommended for anyone going through a difficult time and for those supporting someone who is.
To the episode with Kasia:

Thank you, Kasia for your inspiration 🌸

It happened about 4 years ago: I strongly wanted to give back to the community through my work.
Then Sharon Dubrovsky Perets came up with the brilliant idea of the Free Coaching Platform, and the rest is history: dozens of our advanced students are choosing to join it and through the platform, give back to the community.
🌸
And today a new and amazing coach was added to our website: Like all the others, Tzuf Gur also agreed to offer some free coaching if you come to her via our website.
🌸
Tzuf specialises in body image, developing self-love and self-acceptance, and she's really the person you want to meet on the other side of the Zoom sessions she's offering.

Check out her page: https://theicci.com/coach/tzuf-gur/
(and if this smile is not inviting enough, I don't know what is)

Hey, I’m Tzuf and I’m passionate about helping individuals discover their unique strengths and achieve their fullest potential. I believe that every person is special, and that understanding your individuality is the key to providing the best support. My mission is to create a safe, nurturing an...

A few months ago, between the operation to get the cancer out of my body and the beginning of the radiotherapy, a guy called Erik Seversen reached out and asked if I'd write a chapter in his next book.

It was insane at the time, but I said yes, and Erik was ever so patient with me because I had to postpone the deadlines he set up for the group.

I wrote my chapter while sitting on the sofa in the living room, in between radiation treatments, knowing that this was a piece of normality in what was a very not normal time for me.

And here it is, going to be launched on Monday.
