The AIFE (Webinar) Series by Get A Grip of the Grind

Named after an ancient Celtic female warrior, Aife, (pronounced EEE-fa) was a talented and fearless figure. She’s the inspiration for this program designed to tame fears, find your fierce, get more out of life or reignite your vibrancy.

Usually we do adventures mixed with professional development but Covid has impacted this so we're offering 6 free webinars hosted by me, Eibhlin Fletcher with a selection of faciliators from our annual Get A Grip of the Grind Festival held the last weekend in February.

WEBINAR details:

Every second Sunday of the Month from 3 - 4 pm you can tune in, ask questions, get tips or be inspired. The program is:

10 May - The importance of rituals in the new grind

Changing your approach to the grind isn’t the hard part, it's maintaining your new-found lease on life that poses the biggest challenge. Rituals come in all shapes and sizes and can help us to maintain our goals, stay connected to our new values and are the key to long-term success. Let us help you find your ritual and set up the framework for the future.

Panel Guests are practising counseling and clinical psychologist Katrina Streatfeild, specialising in PTSD and championing women's mental health, and Vicky Jamieson enterpreneur, wellness guru, who truly pulled herself out of the grind by optimising rituals, nutrition, and physical health.

14 Jun - Manoeuvring family and relationships when cabin fever sets in

Hands up if you’re experiencing some sort of cabin fever? Maybe you’ve lost just a wee bit of love for your family members that have morphed in to demons recently. This doesn’t just relate to cabin fever. What do you do when you’ve had enough of someone? Whilst we are fundamentally social creatures, forced confinement or regular proximity can get the better of even the most social of us. Creating the environment you want, changing it up regularly, as well as learning how to navigate grumpy personas are key tactics to coming out stronger when close proximity or regular contact is over. We may even learn something more about ourselves throughout the experience.

Panel Guests are Katrina Streatfeild, as above, and Laurice Temple, CEO, Board Director, entrepreneur, mentor, 30 years experience in the consturction industry, with a lifelong goal to have a positive impact on the world, even if it means taken the unpopular stance. Her current passion is positive psychology at home and the workplace.

12 Jul - How boundaries save your sanity and make you stronger

If there’s one piece of advice that will change your life positively and forever, it’s to put boundaries in place! Much as I love my family and my career, my life has a vacuum unless I do something that is just for me, and actually marks out part of what is truly me. Setting boundaries is an important part of establishing and nurturing your identity and a crucial aspect of managing your mental health and well-being. Join us to learn about healthy boundaries and how to incorporate them in to your own life so you love life and those in it even more.

Panel Guests are practising counseling and clinical psychologist Katrina Streatfeild, specialising in PTSD and championing women's mental health, adrenaline junkie and Vicky Jamieson enterpreneur, wellness guru, mother, grandmother, endurance athlete.

9 Aug - Making choices that move you from a position of pain to power

I love this concept, taking your fear and converting it to a power charger. I stumbled across this in the book Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway, By Susan Jeffers. A motto I try and live by (but didn’t realise it would be a good book to write!). What do you say to yourself when you’re up against it? Do you dig in and tell yourself you will win, or second guess yourself all the way. Do you think about what you might miss out on? This will be a crazy conversation with the three of us who have broken barriers, run/cycled til we dropped or stepped on the hornets’ nest, on purpose, just a few times!

Panel Guests are Laurice Temple, bio above. However her penchant for fighting for equality, safety and positive attitude has seen her make unpopular calls in male dominated industries. Larry Cohen has a degree in Exercise Science and a minor in psychology. Througout his life he's had to make tough decision, take personal and business risks constantly moving him from the paralysing power of fear and pain to one of power and success.

13 Sep - Performance Mindset – how to win it

My coach and I decided I was going to have a crack at the World Duathlon Champs in Adelaide as I was a pretty shit swimmer, so concentrating on what I was good at (running and cycling) would make a dream come through. I wasn’t so much worried about not making a podium at the world champs (haha) rather than looking like a fat leprechaun at the start line in a green one-piece triathlon suit. I didn’t realise it then but many of the ‘tactics’ I employed are not just for elite (ahem) athletes. Nathalie and Abby will evolve this dialogue as we explore the fundamentals of a performance mindset not just for elite performance, but for a better quality of life every day.

Panel Guests are Nathalie Giventi of Stellar Minds has loved fiercely, and rebelled loudly. She has been an anchor, a lighthouse and an icebreaker. She's been a mess, barely holding it together without anyone ever knowing. She's been shy and scared. Yet she is bold and daring and has laughed at life, at the world and at myself. She loves the moment her clients (She's a Mind Mentor and NLP Practitioner) become fully aware of their power, swaying between fear and awe before finally stepping into their greatness.

Abby Lewtas is an adventurer, life coach and blogger, with an impressive history of representing Australia from an young age beach sprinting, and as a member of the national bobsledding team. To Abby, travel and adventure require courage, perseverance and a willingness to step outside your comfort zone. Exploring the world promotes personal growth, self-awareness and a new perspective. She works with wanderlusters and adventurers to help them find their purpose and harmony and lean into life back home.

11 Oct - Setting Goals – big and small as you adventure in life or career

I can’t live without having some sort of goal dangling in front of me. Usually and adventure/fitness one. More importantly these goals reflect me and keep me in a happy place in anticipation of getting to the start line, then the destination. They goals are me. They are mine. My identity is written all over them. I do them for no one else. I fight to keep them in place. Setting goals not only give syou a reason for getting out of bed, they tell others what’s important to you, who you are! My long term amazing coach has agreed to share her insights with us in this webinar and we’re lucky to have Jeannette McGill of McGills Mountains give us her hard earned experience when it comes to setting outrageous goals.

Panel Guests are Julie Tedde Triathlon Coach and Jeannette McGill Mountaineer.

Coach Tedde has helped thousands of athletes make their dreams come through in the triathlon and multisport world. Having competed at the international level as a triathlete in the 90s she is a dream maker for many as they chase their dreams to the proverbial finish line. She totally gets being a parent / full time career nut, having played every trick in the book to get her athletes to the start line. A ninja at breaking goals down, and obliterating obstacles on the journey to the finish line.

Jeannette McGill has many firsts to her name. The coolest one being the first female to get a blasting licence in South Africa, in 2018 she was the first South African to ascend the 8000m peak Manaslu. An executive in a blue-chip company, a global leader with a passion for coaching ‘green’ hikers to do their first ascent of an big peaks in the Himalayas. She has oodles of patience as she breaks her goals down, and does the same for those she mentors to climb their mountains.
