The COACH of AVON

By Coach Cary Bayer  www.carybayer.com

The writing of William Shakespeare, the Bard of Avon who died 400 years ago this year, is so abundant with wisdom, he might also be called the Coach of Avon. Percy Shelley, the great British Romantic poet, wrote, “Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world.” So can we conclude from this that playwrights can be the unacknowledged life coaches of the world? Imagine Shakespeare as one. Below might be his life coaching brochure.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, LIFE COACH
Purpose & Spiritual Coaching
“This above all; to thine own Self be true.”

It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves. You’ll discover in my Purpose and Spiritual Coaching program that the fault, dear prospective client, lies not within the stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings. You can consult astrologers, or past-life therapists to discern your karma, or even a biologist to understand the influences in your genetic makeup, but ultimately you’ll realize that the choices you make with your own free will helps create fulfillment or the lack thereof in your life. As I tell each and everyone ofmy clients, “life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”
It’s up to you to create significance and meaning. The sign on my desk says,
“All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts.”
 Dost thou want to play the role of father or mother, Christian or Jew, lower self or higher Self? The choice is yours, but if you choose higher Self then awakening can be yours. After all, we are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep. My Purpose and Spiritual Coaching Program will help you wake from that sleep, and discover your higher Self to live an awakened life.
Part of becoming awakened involves changing your belief system from one of disempowerment to one of empowerment.
As I like to say: There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so. Changing the way you think is critical to creating a life based on purpose, but awakening the foundation of your thinking—in the field of transcendental Being—is even more imperative. I frequently tell my clients that it’s all about awakening that level of Being. In other words, choose: To Be or not to Be. That is the key question. The courageous choose life and enlightened life at that.

Relationship Coaching

“The course of true love never did run smooth”
Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments. While I recognize the universal principle that love and marriage bring up everything unlike themselves for the purpose of release and healing, I also understand that with the learning of important relationship skills, everyone in a significant other relationship can overcome all that is not smooth and learn the love that looks not with the eyes, but with the mind. This can achieve ongoing love and happiness.

Prosperity & Empowerment Coaching

“Cowards die many times before
their death, the valiant never taste
of death but once.”
Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. My coaching program enables you to achieve greatness or enable you to become so in tune with the Universe that the Fates thrust greatness upon you. If you want to empower your financial life, create harmony in your income, saving, spending and investing.
Toward that end, I say:
“Neither a borrower nor a lender be; for loan oft loses both itself and friend, and borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.”
I wouldst speak to thee in this brochure because parting is such sweet sorrow, but I must sign off, for brevity is the soul of wit. I leave you with this thought: You may know what you are, but you know not what you might be.
