KAREN BRESLER

" When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, (like healing a serious illness), all of your thoughts break their bonds, your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. All dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far that you ever dreamed yourself to be." – Patanjali

About Dragons And Eagles

The Ignite Coaching Inc logo of a dragon breathing fire is based on a creative vision about the impact coaching can have on clients; the igniting of the fire within you, the magnificent potential, when you are engaged in the process of coaching. Nicknamed the Dragon at school because of her Dutch maiden name “van Draanen”, Karen felt naturally comfortable with the image of a dragon to illustrate her passion for coaching.

Although Dragons are mythical, eagles are not and are very much a part of nature. Dragons are said to be part eagle. Eagles soar in the same way as Dragons are said to have soared. Our wish at Ignite Coaching Inc. is that you will soar to your own new heights and be inspired by your own symbols of magnificence.

“First Nations people believe that the Eagle ”principal messenger of the creator” flies higher than any other living being, has eyesight that can see into the soul and has feathers that are powerful tools for healing. The Eagle teaches us to be wise enough to recognize opportunities, to know when a change needs to be made in one’s life and to find the courage to execute such change.  The Eagle teaches us not to be afraid of the unknown”
