Services
Everyone is at different stages of emerging. Leaders emerge on to the world stage all the time, re-inventing themselves, and creating a new aspect of their own self. Ex-US president CLinton emerges as a philathropist. Nelson Mandella was convicted for crimes for which he spent 27 years in imprisonment. Making a valuable contribution to the abolition of apartheid, he then emerged as the President of South Africa, the first Black to be elected to this post, and winner of more than a hundred awards including the Nobel Prize for Peace.
Leaders emerge every day within self-directed teams in the modern workplace. According to Goleman, studies of outstanding performers in organisations show that about two thirds of the abilities that set star performers apart in the leadership stakes are based on emotional intelligence. Only a third of the skills that matter relate to raw intelligence (as measured by IQ) and technical expertise.
We provide personal services will meet your needs for development of your self.
We beleive that people are not their behaviours - behind every behaviour there is (or was) a positive intention.
In any situation, a person makes the best choice with the resources available to them at the time of that choice.
We always work to add choices to your current situation so you can make excellent choices in the session and in the future.
NLP is a generative rather than a repair model, where we emphasize the solutions rather than analysis of the causes. We beleive that if one human can do something, then,
potentially anyone can do that same thing within reason.
For your emergence to really take hold, it is more about what is going on inside you then what is going on outside of you.
Individual coached in a corporate environment is where we coach on a one-2-one basis, an individual that has either been requested by their employee to attend, (for improvement, retention, conflict resolution, underperformance), or initiated by the employee themselves. We allow for 1.5 hour for each session and allocate 1 day or half days per corporation. We work together on the well-formed outcome for each client (and their corporation) for each session, and set about coaching their successful outcomes.
Coaching is a powerful interactive process that helps individuals to develop personally and professionally more rapidly because we do not operate to a defined process, but respond to what the client is offering. Usually the client always knows much more about themselves, how they are motivated, how they sabotage themselves, coaches do not need to be an expert in the client's field. Non-directive coaching that involves inspiring, asking effective questions, summarizing, paraphrasing, reflecting, and listening achieves amazing results. Our professional coaches are trained to listen and notice patterns of success and limitations, to customize their approach to the individual client's needs, and to elicit solutions and strategies from the client.
All coaching is done within the Corporation’s own HR policy and framework and we adhere to staff review processes, documentation, privacy, confidentiality (both client and the corporation) and other frameworks as required. As professional coaches with our own standards of conduct, most of these standards are already present. Many of the processes we use are content free, meaning we look at the structure of experience, not the content (he said, she said, I felt...).
We use NLP as our primary modality, because NLP is the “Enabler” – using NLP effectively helps us unlock the keys to how we think, speak and behave. We experience the world through our five senses - making sense of the information and then acting on it. Understanding how our and other people's minds work results in understanding how to achieve according to our intentions. We also use language to direct our thoughts and behaviour and as well, to communicate with others. Specific and targeted language skills are critical to be able to create influential communication and exceptional results. We organize our ideas and actions in patterns, we program ourselves, to produce the results that we do, and this is how we sequence our thoughts and actions to achieve goals.
Based upon targeted and specific performance coaching sessions, the following are some of the results:
improved awareness of the impact of the client’s communication on themselves and others
improved persuasion and negotiation skills
conducting or participating in effective meetings because of their approach
improved presentation skills as they focus on the outcomes and words they use
more robust negotiations because they are focused on the intentions of themselves, their stakeholders and they are able to elicit the intentions from ‘others’
greater success at building effective teams
improved quality of generated options – this is one of the founding principles of NLP – generating or increasing choices
improved ability at making quality decisions
enabling a client to access their unconscious resources – where all their wealth of experience is stored
Reframing: Neuro-Linguistic Programming™ and the Transformation of Meaning by Richard Bandler and John Grinder
"Thank you Sonya for changing my life. I can't believe the change in 5 sessions.
- I lost 5 kgs
- I feel lighter
- I don't need to always be in control
- I don't have to do everything to be liked
- My mind is much clearer
- I feel more confident
One of the biggest changes was allowing me to grieve for my son and accept his death after nearly 3 years.
I had a constant emptiness which I filled with food and it has gone now.
I know I can achieve anything I want and be successful at that.
My last session was early May. In May I achieved my highest income achieving month ever whilst dealing with my father being diagnosed with a terminal illness,
falling in love with a new man and spending time with both. My business partner away overseas.
Running a seperate project part time. Wow I can't believe all this happened in such a short space of time. Sonya thank you."
Bonnie Ries, A Table for Six, Brisbane, Australia, July 2008
"Mark at Blue-Sky Transformation was wonderful to work with. He was both very personal and professional during our sessions. The Neuro-Linguistic Programming ( NLP) techniques that I worked through with Mark made an immediate difference in my personal and professional life planning. Not only did these techniques help me, but they are very helpful to me in my work in the field of peace building and conflict resolution in post-conflict countries.
Top Qualities: Great Results, Personable, Good Value"

"Thank you Sonya for helping me rediscover the parts of myself that had gotten lost along the way.
It is something I have tried to do on my own for too long and without success. I wish I had come to see you long ago. You have made a huge difference in my life and the lives of my family.
I really liked the one on one sessions with Sonya. I felt like I was able to work through issues without having to verbalise every detail.
I am now able to focus on the important things in life with more clarity than before. I certainly wouldn`t be able to see a more positive future for myself if I hadn`t been to see Sonya.
Iam now able to go through my life more happy than I have been in a long time."
Carla, a wonderful human, Brisbane, Australia, June 2008
"Sonya has helped me to clarify my thoughts and make the decisions that I need to make. Her sessions have also opened my mind to views of my situation that I weren’t aware of before.
I enjoyed working with her and these sessions made it possible for me to open up and resolve the issues that I had.
And I think part of that is because Sonya has managed to keep our sessions content free so that we were tackling on the how and why more than about what.
It allowed me to trust and relax easier because I didn’t feel ashamed of myself. Thanks for helping!"
Jens Grunedler, General Manager, Taste - for the love of cooking, 2007
Sonya has been instrumental in creating the life I desire. I am now able to dream and set goals for both my personal and professional life.
Thank you Sonya, I will always value our time spent together and will be forever grateful
for your empathy and wisdom.
Edward Charles, Manager, Library Technology at Rodney District Council, 2006
Sonya has an excellent grasp of the areas of both Emotional Intelligence and Neuro-Linguistic Programming
so a session with her will likely produce a very desirable outcome.
Her professional style, excellent communications and ability to work with her client to bring
about continuous improvements, virtually guarantee that her guidance will almost certainly
realise tangible benefits for you.
Grant Gibson, Regional Sales Manager, Asia-Pacific at Jade Software Corporation Limited, 2006
Thank you Sonya, for giving me the tools and ability to get answers in my life.
I enjoy the fact that you work with the whole mind, body and spirit, not jus the problem.
You get to the core of what is happening.
It is great to feel the (personal) power when I start to see everything fall into place.
The tools you offered had supported me and helped me find which direction I want to go,
and when I am on my own, I can approach other situations using these tools.
