In the first session, we get to know each other a little better and start off. Through a combination of sparring, work assignments, theory, practice and reflection, you get a little further towards your desired outcome each session. We explore what you do, think and feel and why. You often come across obstacles, old habits and unhelpful thoughts. With the coaching, you learn to recognise, accept and, where necessary, adjust or break through them. If possible, with mildness, self-reflection and humour. Of course, we also look at what is already going well, which qualities you can use more and who or what can help you. I will support, inspire and challenge you, but also I count on your motivation to work with your question and to make the best co-production possible. I also find it important to consider 'the bigger picture' and have an eye for your wishes and goals in all areas of life. (NB If it is beyond my expertise, I will look for suitable alternatives with you). You can then start making choices that fit with what matters most to you now in your work and in your life.

In the coach sessions, I use many different insights, models and practices, which I have collected and tried over the years. If other topics or events require attention during the coaching, there is room for this. For instance, you can't work on your career properly if you are immensely stressed out, so sometimes we need to work on another topic first or in parallel. Maybe you like to have our conversation while walking in nature, that is often quite possible. We can also discuss or just prepare a practical situation from your work. If you feel up to it, we can also work with the help of a horse as a mirror, to learn by doing in a completely different way and strengthen your personal leadership.

I have learned and also experienced myself that it is important not just to talk and think about what you think and want differently. It is important to be or get in touch with what you feel and notice your body's signals. 'The head screams, but the body whispers...' is a beautiful expression in my opinion. Even if you have nothing to do with feelings, spirituality and related work forms, we often find a way to bring this in in a way that suits you. You can always bring your wishes and preferences into the coaching and indicate what works for you. And you can trust us to work together to find the most appropriate and effective way for you to achieve your goals - and continue on your path with more insight, skills and confidence.
