Humour Lights Us Up
"Sense of humour is a magical quality, woven through the fabric of life. It can bring joy and lightness, ease the pain and help us experience togetherness. Doesn’t it soften your heart to hear children’s cheerful outbursts? Doesn’t it assure you there’s innocence and hope in the world? There’s much in life which needs our attention and action. We all have our daily dose of challenges to overcome and learn from. Yet, when the dial of life pressures goes up, the balance on the seriousness scale can be lost. It is easy for our egos to inflate and become too self-focused. That distorts the motives for our actions and quietly sucks the joy out of life."
"We all have a role to play as there are no spare parts in the Universe. Yet, we live on a tiny rock hurtling through space and it’s good to remember to lighten up and put things into perspective. Our beautiful Mother Earth, with all the abundance and diversity of life, is a home to thousands of species. It deserves protection and my hope is that we can restore the balance and harmony on the blue planet. I feel that, as we go along through our days, being the best Earth tenants we can be, it is worth remembering to lighten up and laugh at our shortcomings and be grateful for the lessons flowing out of successes and falls. Whatever might be happening in your life right now, this too shall pass. So keep calm and smile on!"

A Sense of Humour
“An aware sense of humour can be a profound way to touch people’s hearts and a way to reach out over any sensitive or awkward gulfs which might exist between ourselves and others."
“There’s the nervous giggle kind of funny, and then there is an honest humorous observation about ourselves or our situation kind of funny. It is the latter in which we remain more conscious and present, which can help us to own things about self which might have been a bit too challenging if approached directly as cold fact."
“There have been just a few rare individuals in the course of my life who have demonstrated this kind of authentic-with-self humour. I have both enjoyed and learned so much from being around them, and have taken a leaf out of their book and carried it with me through life.”

Who We Are and What We Do
If you have not yet studied with us, you may not already know that the Global Coaching Academy has been creating and delivering heart-based training programmes since 2004.
We began as a very small Registered Training Organisation in Perth offering a Certificate of Mentoring and Coaching. This was in response to people who were looking for a meaningful course and qualification that wasn't all about 'rah rah' and money making, rather about wanting to make a difference and support others to become the best versions of themselves. 17 years later, GCA is delivering a Diploma of Mentoring, Coaching and Interpersonal Facilitation, as a fully internationally recognised ICF accredited coach training program to participants in United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, Asia and New Zealand.
