Life Coach University celebrates Anne Phey, Founder of Leadership Coaching School for paying it forward everyday in the month of May. Anne shared lessons and personal stories from her own journey of being a Boss from Hell to Heaven as part of the 365 Pay It Forward Talks with Life Coach University.

Anne believes that everyone is called to be a leader, be it in our family, among friends, within our communities, or at work with our teams. Leadership is both a privilege and an opportunity to make a positive difference by empowering others.

She built a reputation for working with leaders as well as being a leader in uncharted areas, such as opening up new markets, creating new business models, helping start-ups, taming the toughest of bosses, re-building demoralized teams, and corporate restructuring.

At the risk of career suicide, one day, Anne’s team member Rina told the team that Anne had been a “Boss from Hell”. Despite the audible gasps, Anne was not fazed by Rina’s comment and admitted that she had been a difficult boss.

Anne then asked Rina, “So what made you follow me when I changed departments?” Rina replied that she had followed a newly transformed Anne, who had become the “Boss from Heaven”.

The unexpected realization of Anne’s transformation inspired her to share her experience with other leaders.

From then on, Anne resolved to be the best possible coach and became passionate about empowering leaders to become the best version of themselves. To achieve this goal, she created the Leadership Coaching School, where leaders work with Anne to transform themselves and their teams through key leadership acts and coaching.

In addition to being the Founder of Leadership Coaching School, Anne supports Positive Intelligence as Coach Engagement Director by empowering Coach Communities in the Asia Pacific and the Middle East regions, and gives back by being part of the Life Coach University in their 365 Pay-It-Forward Program.

For the entire month of May, Anne paid it forward to leaders all around the world by sharing her Leadership Framework that guides leaders through the process of building high-performing and engaged teams.

She condensed the concepts from her Leadership Framework explained into simple day-to-day terms.  Each snippet was filled with Anne’s personal stories of a Boss from Hell or Heaven (either herself or the bosses she has worked with). She shared with openness and vulnerability the real-life situations, triumphs, failures, and considerations that were made during difficult and painful moments. Anne says “We are not born leaders, but we find our way to create better versions of ourselves.”

Anne’s personal stories of a Boss from Hell or Heaven are available through the 365 PIF Talks at Life Coach University. Come to learn, to laugh, and to cry with Anne as she candidly shares her personal and professional journey. All the replays are available at Life Coach University's website www.lifecoachuniversity.com for free.

Chris Weals is a life coach who specializes in helping people create healthy, happy relationships. Meditation proves to be a key tool he personally uses as well as a tool he teaches to his clients to help their relationships thrive. By turning his own mental health around, meditation has led him into much stronger relationships with his girlfriend of 11 years, his friends and his family.  

Prior to practicing meditation, Chris suffered from depression, anxiety, and low self esteem. His focus on himself and his troubles created tunnel vision and he failed to notice the failing relationships with his loved ones. Dark moods caused him to withdraw and/or lash out at the people he cared about most.  Through meditation, and other self-development practices, Chris better understands and manages his moods, that self-awareness allows him to be less emotionally reactive to the world around him. This has had a major positive impact on all of his relationships, especially with his girlfriend. It has also helped him to have a much more optimistic outlook on life.  Chris’ mission is to share the remarkable benefits of meditation. He will be demonstrating how easy and accessible the practice is to anyone who is interested. 

Join him at the upcoming conference at Life Coach University on Meditation. The conference is free to attend. He has invited four brilliant keynote speakers: Jackson Tan, Jodi Jackson, Bryan Peterson and Jutta Jerlich.  Together, they will debunk the myth that meditation must be done perfectly to experience its profound benefits. You do not have to sit on the floor, cross-legged, with a mind that is completely free of thoughts. In fact, spoiler alert, meditation isn't about doing. It’s about being present in the moment and learning to let go of the thoughts that keep you stuck in a state of worry, depression, anxiety, and disconnection from the world.  

This conference is for those who want a better understanding of meditation, its benefits, the many forms, and how to choose what works best for them. You are invited to attend the online conference to learn about the simplicity of meditation and what those benefits look like in your daily life. This powerfully effective tool can even help you navigate those important, wonderful, and challenging relationships. In fact, it can improve every aspect of your life.  

The conference will be on Tuesday May 17, 2022 at 10am Eastern US. This conference will be recorded and a replay will be available. RSVP at www.lifecoachuniversity.com/conferences to get your free ticket.  

Life Coach University is on a mission to coach millions more. Life coaches from around the world share their content on Life Coach University’s pay it forward platform. Dien Luu, Founder of Life Coach University invites anyone who attends this conference or watches the replay to go and pay it forward in kindness or generosity in any way they want. This can be smiling at your friends, baking homemade cookies for your neighbour, planting a fruit tree in your garden, or donating an item to your favourite charity shop.

CLAREMONT, CALIFORNIA, US, April 24, 2022 /Coach Medium PR/ -- International Pay it Forward Week™ (IPIF Week) is April 25-29, 2022 and you’re invited to join the movement. Our ambassador for IPIF Week is Lani Kim. Growing up, she was blessed to be part of a very strong, supportive community. After moving her young family to another city, she was also blessed to find support in different ways. Much of that sense of community came from not only receiving help and support but from offering help and support to others in her community. 

IPIF Week is an opportunity for her to highlight many of the people who contribute to her community on a daily basis. These community members don’t do it for recognition but rather to give back and to pay it forward. These people inspire Lani and she wants to celebrate them, thank them, encourage them and to also promote a platform for their stories.  

IPIF Week brings together everyone and anyone who desires to participate in being part of the ripple effect of kindness that has been passed to them. In addition, we have an opportunity to initiate our own ripple effect. There is no measurement of our acts of kindness. We work synergistically alongside one another, the ripple of one act collides into the ripple of another and the effect does not end. Collectively, we create stronger ripples of kindness and positive change.  

Claremont, California is a small town at the eastern edge of Los Angeles County. We have the nickname of ‘The City of Trees & Ph.Ds’ due to the presence of the Claremont Colleges and its many local faculty and staff. For many, they think of Claremont as ‘The City of Communities & Ph.Ds’. You will get an inside look into several such communities working together to create an amazing event called PharmCamp. While the event itself is impressive, you meet the hearts and hands behind the event whose mission it is to Pay it Forward. You also meet local middle school students who were touched by the event and have made it their mission to institute their own ripple effect by paying forward their own experience. Watch the touching stories behind PharmCamp at www.payitforwardweek.com.  

Our city is also known for its passion to be green. One way we do this is interacting within a Facebook group called Buy Nothing Claremont. There are three actions allowed: Give, Ask, Gratitude. Come with us and be part of our community; create your own ripple effect with a Pay It Forward (PIF) of your own then post it on FB or email it to us. We want to hear your story.
