“…. Meeting you was truly a surprise (and gift) from the universe. I really enjoyed our conversation and all your insight on the journey called life. I am holding on to the advice you personally gave me, to “..give it time.” I began reading from PMS to PMA and have been cross referencing back to No Boxing Allowed when indicated. All I can say is, WOW!…. am amazed how you were able to sum everything up, so concisely and clearly to convey your message, into so few pages. I admire you so much……………. Thank you for the gifts, advice, inspiration, and most importantly, for the person you are.”

FIVE STAR ***** BOOK REVIEWS
No Boxing Allowed
Reviewed by Cynthia Brian, www.CynthiaBrian.com, Nov 2011
Find your Personal Power – Australian author, Nola Anne Hennessy, has known her share of sadness, tragedies, and disappointments. She found the courage to move through the difficult times and advocates readers to forgive ourselves, discover our individual gifts, and refuse to be put into a box of expectations. The biggest barrier to personal achievement is negativity. In No Boxing Allowed, this NABE Pinnacle Award winning author, shows us the power of positive being and acting. Karma exists and universal justice prevails. Whatever we do in life, both good and bad, either comes back to exalt or haunt us. It is imperative to re-engineer our thoughts, words, and actions to a positive light so that we re-program our lives for a constructive outcome.
A chapter on leadership focuses on the issue of whether leaders are born or made. Charisma, kindness, generosity, positivity, honesty and forgiveness are some of the virtues and traits of a great leader. Nola rightly contends that “the more great leaders we have in this world, the better the world will become.” We can all be great leaders in our fields when we determine to be so.
Nola offers inspirational wisdom that each of us can take to the bank. Every human is unique, different, and a gift. Once we realize our full potential, our destiny becomes a personal choice without dictatorship from someone else. It’s imperative to make a positive difference in the lives of others at home, work, and in the community. Towards the end of the book, she includes key elements to a successful business relationship including respect, trust, understanding, tolerance, team play, patience, honesty, integrity, flexibility, commitment, responsiveness, and more. I would say that these values are not just the underpinning for work relationships, but the most important ingredients to a happy life filled with love, family, friends, and colleagues.
The wisdom enclosed in No Boxing Allowed continues in her follow-up book, from PMS to PMA. Buy both books for a complete prescription for living authentically and fully. And remember, there are no failures, only opportunities from which to grow, expand and learn. No Boxing Allowed!
From PMS to PMA

All We Need is a Positive Mental Attitude – Once you have read award-winning author, Nola Anne Hennessy’s book, No Boxing Allowed, it’s time to pick up a copy of the sequel, From PMS to PMA, a Change Management Guide for Women (and their Men).
This is a short book of only eighty-four pages that will give you permission to eliminate the blame and complain game in your life and instead, reframe, rename, and reclaim your personal power. Many women choose to wallow in self-pity and pain, blaming their moods, actions, and inactions on PMS. Men have jumped on that bandwagon, too, using premenstrual symptoms as the catchall diagnosis for everything negative. Both men and women feel trapped in abusive relationships with enough emotional baggage to sink a ship. It’s time to let go, and move on.
Nola gives you tools to change your negative thinking and acting so that you can positively manage your today and tomorrow, heal the pain, and move forward with healthy relationships between yourself and others. Through case studies you’ll witness what others have endured and how they recovered spiritually, physically, and emotionally. In her chapter, Deep Healing, Nola provides seventeen concrete and proven steps for both men and women to take the journey to real honesty and empowerment in their relationships. Of course, before you can take even one small step on this change journey, you must want to do it on a conscious level.
Nola’s message is to value yourself first and then everything else falls into place. Being human means that we will all suffer in some way, however, attitude is a choice. We can choose to be pessimistic and unhappy, or we can choose positivity and delight. Believe in yourself and all the possibilities, and let go of PMS. You deserve a life founded in PMA!

MEDIA REVIEWS

Thursday November 1, 2012: The Chronicle and numerous Queensland print media provide their comments on No Boxing Allowed – Banish Ugly Manners With a Self Help Makeover. See our Media Page for more information.“UNFORTUNATELY it’s the society we live in but people are “ugly” towards each other – on the drive to work, at the checkout line, on Facebook and Twitter. But, Nola Anne Hennessy says people must be shown a better way to treat one another before behaviours can change. No Boxing Allowed takes readers through the path Ms Hennessy took to achieve self-intelligence and inner serenity. “Having been in senior leadership business roles from the age of 19, my abilities to lead, inspire, manage, nurture and influence others have culminated in decades of research,” Ms Hennessy said. “I decided to share what I have learned, so that others could benefit from my wisdom and experience.” This inspiring book is a guide to life and has become a sought-after reference for people seeking to make positive change around the globe. Readers are taught how to recognise personal power for the betterment of themselves, are provided with an invaluable checklist of great leadership behaviours, taught how to recognise controlling behaviours of others and inspired to be the best they can be.”

November 2012: Nola Anne Hennessy’s award winning book, From Pre-Menstrual Syndrome to Positive Mental Attitude is a Change Management Guide for Women (and their Men). This guide is a sequel to her previous award winning book, No Boxing Allowed.PMS can be an unpleasant experience for women (and those around them). Every 28 days PMS turns some women into an alter ego that has those in their immediate universe living in fear. With cramping, bloating and fatigue, it should be allowed for women to lash out a little, right? Wrong. While many self help books advise women on how to control PMS mood swings, Hennessy takes a distinct approach to addressing PMS. |
Hennessy teaches how to reclaim personal power and tells us it’s time to stop blaming PMS for negative moods, actions or inactions. From Pre-Menstrual Syndrome to Positive Mental Attitude does not let the label of PMS excuse poor behavior. But while some may think Hennessy is being too hard on women, she addresses the men as well, as some have used PMS as an excuse to find fault with their women. Hennessy says what we have been programmed to believe about PMS is now a thing of the past and it’s time to let go and move on.
From Pre-Menstrual Syndrome to Positive Mental Attitude provides tools to change negative acting and thinking. Hennessy delves into forgiveness, the power of a positive mental attitude and even provides steps toward deep healing. Hennessy shows the reader how valuing yourself is the greatest gift to you and others. This book is Hennessy’s gift to us and it’s her passion that people realize how priceless they are.
Pinnacle Award-winning “inspirational” author Nola Hennessy is renowned for her people skills, love of life and fun, business acumen and astounding level of energy and passion. Nola exposes herself completely in this book, in the hope of bringing lasting peace in relationships between men and women, a refreshed approach to relationships in general, and global awareness of the myths surrounding PMS. From Pre-Menstrual Syndrome to Positive Mental Attitude is available directly from the author through her consulting company (http://serenidadconsulting.com/buy-our-books/).

September 2012: No Boxing Allowed is an award winning (work) by Nola Anne Hennessy that shows us how to break free and not allow ourselves to be boxed in by life’s restrictions. Hennessy details how releasing the personal power within can create a positive change in our lives and the lives of those around the globe. Hennessy did not let her past determine her future. After leaving an unhappy marriage, she took the path of positivity, opposed to self pity and destruction, and inspires the reader to change their behaviors for a more positive life. No Boxing Allowed does not equate a successful or positive life with material possessions. Hennessy delves deep to allow us to re-evaluate why we are here on Earth and what we offer can make the world a better place. In today’s society it is inspiring to read a book that teaches how being selfless can lead to success. |
