Business Name: abchange4life

Speaking Title: 
Change your story and change for life.
Your past experiences do not define who you are.
Acceptance + Belief + Choice = Change

“Don’t let your past hold you back – you can be who you truly want to be.”

Growing up in the 1950s when difficult subjects were swept under the carpet, Angelika grew up in an environment of domestic violence and suffered years of trauma and sexual abuse as a child. Her abuser told her that she would never come to anything. She was made to feel inadequate, and was told she was only good enough to be a prostitute. She believed him, felt worthless, and ended up living a ‘colourful’ life.

Being strong and intelligent, Angelika soon realised that she could choose to leave those traumas and that lifestyle behind. Her past was not her destiny! Through a process of learning and self-development, she accepted her past and looked to the future, ultimately working in various fulfilling roles in the corporate world for many years.

Eventually, Angelika realised that her purpose and passion in life was to help others reach a place of acceptance and wellbeing. For the past 17 years, she had helped to transform many people’s lives. At one stage she qualified and practiced as a Bowen therapist, but in recent years focuses on mentoring, workshops and speaking opportunities, enabling people to live a joyful, fulfilling life.

Helping you to move on from adversity and develop a positive mental attitude, Angelika’s programme of workshops and one-to-one sessions highlights where your negative beliefs are, how they’re holding you back, and helps you to achieve specific goals to re-create your life. If you would like Angelika to help you make changes for life, or would like her to speak at an event, contact her at ABChange4Life.

At the core of Angelika’s work is her formula to living a life free from pain and full of joy:

Acceptance + Belief + Choice = Change

He is also the creator of the digital programs: The Total Confidence Framework, The Start AFRESH Blueprint and The 4 Golden Rules of Empowered Thinking.

The Thinking Revolution
The Thinking Revolution is a concept that embraces the fundamental principles of personal mastery; and is founded on the proposition:if you want to create personal change, it starts with changing the way you think.

The invitation of The Thinking Revolution is to Create The Future You Really Want

It is a resource for those who feel they have more to give, who want to make change, who want to fulfil the potential they have always felt inside.

It is for high functioning people who want to generate the clarity, courage, commitment, calmness, and certainty that is necessary so they can take the next step in their lives, whatever that might be.

The principles of personal mastery devised by Dene help his clients connect to their deep, authentic confidence; develop unbeatable resilience, resolute perseverance and indomitable spirit.

Dene’s Story

Having had a very comfortable, middle class upbringing Dene followed the expected path of university, corporate career, marriage and family.

In 1999 he was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. After the traditional treatments of chemo and radio therapy, he came through successfully but was left wondering; why him?

The following ten years saw him go through two redundancies which marked the end of his corporate life, the start up and closure of two business ventures with his wife, which ultimately led to the failure of his marriage after 20 years.

At the age of 53, now living alone, separated from his children and with no job, he set out to answer the question that had first come to him 10 years earlier; why?

It is the learning from this journey of discovery that has led to The Thinking Revolution the development of the principles of personal mastery and the invitation.
