My vision is a world where we all have the courage to pursue what elevates us.
What drives me? Witnessing you grow and flourish. To see you change your perspectives, discover your very own way of being and doing, open up and feel encouraged to go places you would not have gone before.
Coaching conversations support you in becoming aware of your unconscious beliefs, patterns and habits and recognising how these influence your daily choices and actions. It is a structured process to unleash your inner strengths and full potential for more well-being and a balanced life.
The desire to be coached comes from a space of self-love, self-worth and a genuine curiosity for self-discovery. Coaching can be a catalyst for profound transformation.
We create change from the inside out.
Coaching is a place where we explore what is most important and meaningful to you. We work together to tap into your inner resources and you can develop and practice the skills to live a more balanced, authentic, and fulfilling life. With more awareness, you will have more choices and see more opportunities.
Coaching has changed a lot for me personally. When my coach challenges my thinking and supports me in how I want to show up without telling me what to do, I feel empowered, more motivated and curious to venture. I accompany you in finding your own unique path instead of following the existing ideas of how things "should" be.
Coaching Approach
-
My style is collaborative and grounded in deep respect for your own internal wisdom. My approach fully integrated (drawing from different sciences and teachings*), solution focused and somatic; rooted in my belief that reconnecting our mind, body and soul with nature and our culture supports our well-being. Through the study of neuroscience, we know today what many cultures have known for a very long time. Stepping into our potential involves more than cognitive learning.
-
The challenges we are facing today are complex, hence there is no-one magical solution. Coaching is a highly personal experience so everyone needs a very different approach.
-
We are working below the surface, going to the root cause of your challenges, for sustainable results. Authentic transformation is possible through a deep dive. The only way out of whatever you are feeling, whether it be confusion, frustration, anger, or anxiety is through.
-
…to personal and Leadership development. *Know yourself. Know your impact.* Every problem we have in life is the result of losing our bearings and getting caught up in the stories we tell ourselves about the world and everyone in it. The solution to every one of those problems is to settle down, regain our bearings, and find our way back home.
Often in our performance focused culture, we lose track of the wisdom of the body, and stay stuck in repeating patterns. Given the opportunity, I’ll show you the power of movement, how to embody what you care about.
-
…meaning no extra layers to tick a box. No promises either. You have my full commitment to walk with you towards your well-being.
We go beyond cognitive coaching, use your built-in guidance system that is designed to help you to connect with your true potential to elevate yourself.
A Deep Dive…
Every challenge I encountered was a gift. Without challenges, could we grow at all? The ones I have faced have strengthened my resilience, empathy and appreciation, my ability to get back up and keep moving. I see myself as a challenger, an explorer, someone who loves to learn and share and who finds opportunities around every corner. Knowing from my own experiences the impact a coach and mentor can have, I see your potential and will challenge you to see more.
What if you Unleash Your Mind and reconnect, rebalance. What would be different? Imagine… stepping into your role with confidence, ease and grace. What would your relationships be like? How big would your influence be?
“Well-Being is not the fruit of something you do; it is the essence of who you are.”
— Michael Neill
How it works?
A three-step-approach: (1) Diagnostics: Your challenges. Your vision. (2) Deep Dive & Learning. (3) Anchoring: Reflections. Closing the gaps. Paving the path to sustainable well-being. Plus continuous support - sounding board.
The Programs
In my programmes I combine foundational intercultural knowledge with current scientific and evidence-based techniques and tools; e.g. PQ Positive Intelligence - Mental Fitness. Positive Psychology. Somatic Intelligence. Embodiment Practice. Mindfulness. CQ Cultural Intelligence. I am not married to a particular style or tool, preferring to have a toolbox to work from to provide a customised experience. I believe that a holistic approach is key when it comes to us as people. Every person and every case is unique.
My Toolbox
The concepts I draw from in my practice come from various sciences and teachings: Positive Psychology, Neuroscience, Cultural Psychology, Behavioural and Performance Science, Eastern and African Philosophies and Intercultural Studies.
