I am a life coach and behavioural consultant/trainer. I gained an honours degree in social and behavioural studies in 2004 and qualified as a teacher in 2006. I gained my life experience as a Police Officer for thirty years in one of Britains toughest areas. I spent 18 years as a sergeant supervising the problems faced by Police officers. I spent 10 years as part of a recruiting team for police and 7 years as a one to one coach to new Police Officers. I devised and ran an award winning programme called CRASH which changed the lives of a group of hard to reach teenagers. I worked for several years on a behavioural strategy group that was commended by the British government for producing 'best practice'. I produced my dissertation based upon research into emotional awareness and remain deeply passionate about this area of human development. I am a Reiki practitioner and certified in EFT. I and my wife Jenny have been qualified clinical hypnotherapists for nearly five years now and I use hypnotherapy widely to assist change.

Are you stuck in the dance of guilt?
The Dance of Guiltr What is guilt? Have you ever realized how you react to guilt? Most of us do what I call the dance of guilt. Life is so much about moving towards or moving away from anything and everything. When we feel guilty we often retreat into the moving away from stance. We withdraw from life.

Have you learned your ABC?
ABC THEORY. Have you learned your ABC yet? The American psychologist Albert Ellis (1913–2007) developed rational-emotive therapy (RET), which is a directive, confrontational psychotherapy designed to challenge and modify clients’ irrational beliefs thought to cause their personal distress (Ellis, 1961, 1977, 1979,1987). RET is based on Ellis’ ABC theory (Wood & Wood, 1993). The A refers to the activating event, the B to the person’s belief about the event, and the C to the emotional consequence that follows.

Is Life Coaching for teenagers?
I was recently asked to introduce a group of teenagers to what Life Coaching is about and after my first session was given feedback from some straight talking young people that my talk and chalk approach was boring. So I went away and revised my presentation. I eventually came up with the theme of coaching helping you to have your future in the palm of your hand and each digit represented a power point of coaching. I suggested that coaching can be summed up in the ten P's which are turned into power questions. (The Power of Questions) 1. How much do I want it?

Are you unbalanced?
When was the last time you checked the air in the tyres on your car? You may have found one to be lacking or perhaps even a little flat. What prompted you to check them? Many accidents are caused due to underinflated tyres, unfortunately my son can vouch for that. So what has tyres got to do with balance and you? Well as a Life Coach my company symbol represents yin and yang the ancient symbol of balance. That was chosen because I believe balance to be the key to a comfortable ride in life.

A Journey into the archives of my mind.
Isn't it strange when you find an old file that you wrote years ago and do not remember writing it. I recently found this e-male to my philosophy professor when I was preparing to write my dissertation on emotion.It is almost a defining moment without my realizing it! He replied asking what drugs I was using because he wanted some!He said it would take him years to discuss the subjects, hmh that's philosophers for you!Anyway I thought I would publish it to see if any philosophers out there can tell me why? Hi Bob, It is 6.52 am on a Sunday and my mind is working already.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Nigel Lewis
I spent thirty years learning my trade as a life coach on the streets of Britain as a Police Officer and then entered the classroom as a mature student to be taught the academic view of life. Often I disagreed with the academic view and fought long and hard to change views with some success. I named my coaching practice c-options as it was a play on being an ex-cop and yet fulfilled the aim of my coaching which is to help my client see their options and seize opportunities to live life and love life! I am very creative and innovative and have several things that are unique to me such as the passion triangle, the performance pyramid, the eros principle, phase training, the heart and soul project, the crash programme and more.
