Articles by Elisabetta Franzoso
All articles are written in line with my unique approach to coaching using the 4 Dimensions methodology. The 4 Dimensions take the following basic human aspects into account:
Physical, Emotional, Intellectual and Relational to help you discover for yourself what is holding you back and to reshape your life from the inside out. I have also added two additional dimensions, spiritual and confidence as these are integral to my work and coaching process.
Enjoy!
The Physical Dimension
The Physical Dimension explores the part of us that communicates with the external world, our body which is the temple and container of our mind. Within this dimension I address physical confidence and explore the importance of movement and nutrition and sleep patterns.

The Emotional Dimension
The Emotional Dimension looks in particular at the right part of the brain, where your emotions stem out. Emotions are crucial to us being human. I look at the importance of the Emotional Intelligence (EQ) in building confidence in ourselves and relationships with others.

The Intellectual Dimension
The Intellectual Dimension looks at the left part of our brain ‘the thinking or logical mind’. This is where we we think, analyze, judge and critique. Many of us find that we have been conditioned to think and talk in a negative way, which is why I explore ways we can rewind this.

The Relational Dimension
The Relational Dimension looks at how human beings build relationships. There are different kinds of relationships we can build and learn from. It’s important to explore all of our relationships or lack of - whether that was with our parents, partners, teachers, friends or children.

Love, Gratitude, Beauty and Intention: 4 Things You Need To Know
To become authentic love, the early stages of romance require a fundamental condition beyond that strong sexual attraction: choice. To transform ‘erotic love’ or lust into a mature, authentic love, we’re required to choose to love from the centre of our being (be it the essence, spiritual self or soul, whatever resonates most with you). We must decide to see, sense, feel and connect with the other person through their own essence in a conscious and mindful movement. In that space, as Eric Fromm explains, we are all the same. And from this principle therefore, it doesn’t matter who we love because love should be a conscious commitment, an honest choice and a mindful action. I’d also add that authentic love begins as a desire and perseveres because of choice.
The Power of Language: Was It A Lesson or a Mistake?
Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) teaches us that a simple change of words can make the difference in how we speak to ourselves and others. This is because of the nature of the words, for example, ‘lessons’ or ‘experiences’ are far less judgemental than ‘mistakes’. The knowledge that the effect that language and empowering words has on boosting and transforming our reality is not exclusive to NLP practitioners or trainees.

Visions of a 25 Year Journey
When Stella was born, I promised never to be the kind of mother my own had been with me. I wanted to break the chain. How many of us want the same for ourselves and our children? To be and do better than our parents did? After only one year, I found myself straying from my promise.
