BUILDING POWERFUL TEAMS, EXCEPTIONAL LEADERS
& ROBUST RELATIONSHIPS

Active - building stronger relationships one  thought at a time

Every business is a collection of resources, processes and relationships. Without effective relationships you can't have an effective business.

Powerful leadership is about relationships
Effective teamworking is about relationships
Winning orders and keeping customers is about relationships

Your life is all about relationships!

How do you get the "energy" going in your teams, your family, your life?
How do you build & sustain passion and commitment in all your relationships?
How do you unleash the talents you have within your people?

Through each thought you have, each conversation you share with and every action you take.

Active - you ARE the relationship!

Both the successes and set backs in your life have a long tail. What you get in life is a mirror of what you think, what you say and how you act.

things build up from a long history

Things happen gradually and then suddenly
The Titanic sank because of many failed, superficial, dishonest, entrenched or missing conversations. The relationships were not authentic enough to prevent reckless acts that cost the ship. The same could be true in your business and your home! What you get in life is dependent on every thought, every conversation and every action you take - be authentic, be adventurous, be courageous, 100% the real deal!

Be authentic, get to the real issue without blame

Active exists to challenge you - through each thought you have, each conversation you contribute to and every action you take. It's the way you live on your 'journey through life' that defines who you are and what impact you have.

everyday choices strengthen or  decay ourselves and our relationships.

As my wife, who is a runner reminds me..."The will to win doesn't determine the champion. On the start line, everyone has the will to win. Rather it's the will to train to win; the commitment; the discipline; the courage to act when the race day is far off that defines the champion."

Active exists to keep you challenging - Don't rent out your life, or chance to luck your future. Engage! Active is an adventure. Active is a way of building authentic relationships, built and sustained by trust and courage. Created and enriched by powerful, courageous conversations. By using a simple but powerful idea, Active will work with you to place adventure, courage and authenticity at the heart of everything you do with the rest of your life.

It's what you think and how you share at every moment in your life that counts


be active or pay the price

All too often, you don't get the real deal from people. You get a role played out. An entrenched, unchallenged view. Or you get what they think you want to hear. They act how they think you expect them to act. You accept it, even though deep inside you know it's not dealing with the real issue. You do this because most of the time, you do exactly the same to others!

People are reluctant to engage fully with an issue or challenge the way things are. We fear the consequences, the retribution, the exposure that comes with taking a risk and saying what we really feel. It's easier and safer to run with the herd, let sleeping dogs lie, to keep busy pretending not to know that things aren't quite right!

 

Too busy to notice what is really happening?

Too busy 'doing' pretending not to know what is really going on!

However, the true cost of ducking the issue, letting things lie, keeping your head down is huge. Who pays? everyone. Your customers suffer, your business suffers, your colleagues suffer, but most important of all, your family really pays the bill.

They pay it through your stress, the hours you work, your insecurity, your lethargy at home, your non communication or your lack of enthusiasm for giving of yourself to them.

Your family's happiness is not measured by great ski holidays or expensive cars. They may be fun, they may be memorable, but they are no substitute for your love and time. Your relationships at home are not sustained by the wealth and possessions that your salary provides. Your family's happiness is built upon your attitude and your attention to them.

It's about being there at tea time and making time for personal chats and everyday acts of kindness. Mostly it's about the time and attention you give to them and the effort you make to be attentive to their world. If you're exhausted, slumped watching telly every night, with your children lost to the play station or on the streets - where's the relationship? Where's your life going? What is the message you are sending to your family? What kind of role model are you? Every second counts!

Not being real, not tackling our toughest challenges is not a option if you don't want the ones you love to pay the real bill! As the advert says "Remember who you really work for!"

everyone pays for those failed or missing conversations when we duck the issue!

The price of failed or missing conversations is high and everyone pays it in the end!

Active works with organisations to build a culture of adventure. A place where challenging conversations thrive, where judgemental reactions are suspended and exploring to understand prevails. A culture where attentive thinking is championed, where trust and respect are the foundations of personal courage and commitment to act. It's all about what you believe, the way you use your brain to think, how authentic your conversations are, what you choose to share and engage with and what 'true' messages you transmit each time you interact. You are always on show, always strengthening, ignoring or damaging each and every relationship. Every second counts!

 

every second counts - live it!

Be Active - be courageous, 100% the real deal.

Your big Adventure
You have 86400 seconds to spend today, then they are gone for ever.

How much of this time will you be 100% focused, present and committed?

How often are you powerfully engaged - all of you? How often are you just going through the motions?

Life's a big adventure - all the seconds you have spent on your life's journey. The experiences, the relationships, the highs, the lows, the loves, the learning all bring you to this point. Your past combines to make who you are now. But it will always be your past!

who you will be tomorrow depends upon who you are today!

You are unique, however your potential to grow and change is constrained by the self beliefs you have created in your head. Not only this, but your beliefs limit or liberate the potential of all those you interact with both at work and home! your inner voice is powerful and ever present, don't ignore it, harness it, direct it, hone it. It will serve you and the people you care for well.

Active - you ARE the relationship!

Active has a clear message, we work with individuals, teams and leaders to create a powerful focus on the future. Centred around relationships, communication and clear thinking strategies, we will help you take the best of your potential and accelerate it, both as individuals and teams.

The way to build a future full of adventure

You got here one thought, one action, one conversation at a time. You can get to where you want to, one thought, one action, one conversation at a time. Active is an attitude that requires you to tune in, switch on, challenge your own thinking and take action - it's an adventurous way of approaching life, demanding a more authentic commitment from you to strengthen your relationships and leverage your performance. It's challenging, fun and unbelievably empowering.

Active is about action.

The challenge you face is to be the real you, 100% you. No fakes or double lives, no hiding behind roles, no justifications for disappointments, no martyrdom, just authentic you. No more "if only..", no more "I'll try.." or "I know I should.." No more seeking permission or awaiting rescue, time to be Active. We don't always control what happens to us, but you always have a choice about how you respond. You choose where you go next with your life. You decide what you will accept from yourself and others, what wounds you inflict when you are emotional and reactive, what joys you create when you are attentive and generous - that's your adventure, your choice - make it an Active choice.

Be authentic, take on your toughest challenges now!

Make the most of now, every second counts. You may not get another 86400! There may be no tomorrow, if not for you then for the person you care about but have neglected or the business you have coasted in rather than driven. If you are just experiencing the inevitable, ask your self why are you there, what value are you adding?

Active if your just experiencing the inevitable, how are you contributing to a more fulfilling future?

Every action you take, every conversation you have, every result you get will begin as a thought inside your head and a conversation with yourself. Don't sleepwalk your way through the years in the "if only club". Be powerful, be adventurous, be Active. How you relate to your world depends upon how you relate to yourself, what you accept of yourself and demand from yourself - it's all in your head.

active training and development

One rotting fruit will affect the whole barrel! You are a role model for everyone you come into contact with. You are the message, take care about your impressions on others. You affect the way people feel about you, about themselves, about their situation, about the task. You do that one action at a time, every second counts!

Active you ARE the message!

The way you think, the questions you ask of yourself, the attention you give to people,the authenticity you put into your relationships; all determine the quality and results you get. You have impact on everyone you touch, make sure it's positive.

If your days are filled with tasks, but empty of fun
If your company at night is the remote control, not your loved ones
If your comfort lies in food or alcohol
If you speak at people rather than converse with them, exploring their world
If you use work as an excuse for neglecting your family and self
If you moan to others rather than deal with the issue head on
If you have forgotten your dreams and lost your passions
If you are pretending not to know, what you will find out later

You are ready for the challenge of Active.e.
You can be active and change: this second, every second. Your future, your choice. The boundaries you accept are the ones you build inside your head.

Active creates experiences using real activities that will change the way you think & feel about yourself and your self limiting beliefs. You will change what you chose to accept from yourself. We will encourage you to take risks, to challenge, to be adventurous. We will be with you when you make your jump, when you start exploring, when you realise that it's not the destination, but the journey that fills your life with power and purpose. We will not force you, just show you how to navigate again and we may travel with you a while if you're good to be around!

We will guide you as you explore your real world rather than the superficial situation of everyday activity. We will focus you to accelerate your life learning rather than flog you to just work harder. We will support you to tackle your most demanding challenges rather than ignore them pretending not to know. We will celebrate with you and enjoy your success as you strengthen your relationships, integrity and performance.

Every second counts.
Be 100% real
Be you
Be Active

Adventure is the key to being alive. For some, it's the adventure of white water rafting or skiing. For others it's the sense of adventure that comes from taking on a new role, volunteering or having a challenging conversation.

For all, its the BUZZ you get from taking a risk that gives you your sense of energy; your life force.

However, so much of our lives are spent existing rather than living. Work gets in the way with its constant demands. Families eat up our remaining spare time and energy. Our relationships just chug along.

At Active, our passion is to help people find an adventurous way of living. Not by climbing mountains every day, though that's a great thing to do every so often! But by bringing adventure to the relationships that exist at the centre of your life.

By challenging you to be the real you, authentic you, totally focused and present you. When you are with your work teams, your family, your partner and when you are by yourself.

Why? Because, when you get in that rut, when you have no energy left, when you carry the stress, when you lose your vibrancy, when you're coasting rather than charging at life - who picks up the tab and pays the bill?

The ones you love!

Is that really a price you are willing to pay?

 

Every second counts.
