A Coaching session
Time to think
Enough time and space to think without any pressure. That's how we generate answers, solutions, ideas. When we feel stuck, overwhelmed, confused, stressed or uninspired, often all we need is time. As your coach I will structure the process and be with you along the way.
What happens in a coaching session?
Initially we will have a conversation in which you will do most of the talking
and I will do most of the listening. I will ask questions to fully
understand your situation, expectations and intentions.
In the next part of the session we will work with various methods, models, and materials in order to look at the issue from different perspectives, stimulate new ideas and insights.
To complete the process we will recap what was relevant, harvest any new understanding and look at possible action steps.
Time to feel
Listening to the brain is good. Listening to our intuiton, feelings, our gut and our heart is equally important. I will make sure that the wisdom from your heart, body and soul informs your decision making and actions.
Why Coaching? For example...
Projects
How am I going to achieve my goal?
A
new project can be very exciting and overwhelming at the same time. In
the coaching sessions you can break that huge task down into small
managable steps. When you can't see the wood for the trees coaching can
bring clarity and direction. Then you'll be able to decide what needs
to happen when, who needs to be involved, realign. You'll be happily
accountable for your actions, learn from the things that didn't work out
and celebrate your successes.
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

Transitions
Loose Ends - New Beginnings
Life sometimes confronts us with endings or presents us with new beginnings. The loss of a loved one, the breakup of a relationship, leaving a job, a new challenge, a fresh start, time for change. If you find yourself in a situation like this, coaching can add value, insight and depth to the experience. You can meet the challenge purposefully and deliberately, you can have a richer understanding of the situation. Through the coaching process you can become clear about how you want to be, how you want to deal with things and experience that empowering freedom of choice.
Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day.
Dalai Lama
Give me a break
It's all too much. How can I do less?
Sometimes we feel exhausted, stressed, anxious, overwhelmed. All we want is a break. Is that allowed? Coaching can help you find ways to do less, focus on self-care, self-love. Remembering that you actually are enough - just the way you are. Gifting yourself a few sessions, some time and space to find a healthy balance that works for you and the people around you.
Or maybe a mini-retreat is just the right thing to help you
reset.
Rest is by no means a waste of time.
John Lubbock
Finding clarity and direction
What do I really want? How am I going to make the right decision?
In order to make sure that you're on the right track, that you're heading in the right direction it is useful to take stock and reflect. Maybe a little readjustment is needed or a distinct change of direction would be beneficial. Maybe what you really want isn't clear yet and you would like to spend some time finding it.
If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.

Leadership: uncovering your potential
What are my talents, strengths, resources?
Becoming aware
of what you're good at and what limiting beliefs might be getting in the way is the first step towards being effective in the world and positively affecting
or leading others and yourself. Find out what your strengths are, how they can support and
serve you in becoming your creative and authentic self in whatever you
choose to do.
Find something you're passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it.

Growing awareness
Who am I? How do I want to lead this life?
If
you are on a path of personal development, if you want to become ever
more present and aware, flexible in moving your attention through
different dimensions of experience then I would be honoured to be your
companion. Welcoming the whole range of human emotion, growing gratitude
and compassion, knowing that everything is connected. Sunrise sessions available...
