Some of the world’s most successful people use a life coach. Most people, and also executives, know that the support of a coach is essential to success. So if you’re asking yourself, “Do I need a life coach?” you’re not alone. Choosing to work with a coach is a major decision. If you wonder whether you should get a coach to help you succeed, the answer is YES!
Everybody can benefit from coaching! Coaching works best for those who are ready to do self-reflection and are committed to developing themselves. A longing for change or something more is likely to bring you to coaching. It could be you need more confidence, better relationships, or face a career challenge or a life change.
Coaching is typically most helpful when you’re thinking about your overall future, which means “life” topics are often fully integrated into “work” topics.
A typical Coaching Process:
Starts by establishing what you want to accomplish or focus on. This acts as the map for your coaching journey.
Discover your inner resources and how to connect to the best parts of yourself
Be conscious of your mindset and the ways that you sabotage yourself
Learn how to internalise empowering mindsets
Think through options and implement your best course of action
Take action, learn, and inspire yourself
Establish a deep belief in your own abilities and feel empowered to handle whatever life throws at you
A coaching programme can be tailored to your requirements and is typically 3–6 months long.
Coaching provides the space to focus on you and what is most important. It shines a light on whom you can be at your best and illuminates fresh possibilities.
I will ask thought-provoking questions and guide you through interactive exercises that inspire creative solutions and focused thinking, so you move forward with greater clarity and certainty.
Life coaching focuses on what’s happening right now and what you want next, and how that gap can be bridged.
I don't coach for a problem to be solved, I coach for a life to be lived!
I am also doing leadership and executive coaching, including leadership performance, leader well-being, communication & difficult conversations, emotional intelligence, executive presence, public speaking, influencing, building teams, and general leadership performance.
Coaching has been part of my own leadership journey for more than 15 years. I have coached my teams, team members and colleagues. In addition, I have been a coach in corporate leadership programs. As a professional coach, I have been following 200+ hours of training and did 150+ hours of coaching with 30+ clients from all over the world in 3 languages, English, German, and French.
I experienced that coaching has become a very important requirement for leaders. We are shifting into a world, where leaders have to be coaches and not only managers of people.
Coaching has become part of my own leadership style. Realizing its growing importance, I decided to take my coaching skills to the next level and I started a CTI coaching education and become a certified coach. I continue to be fascinated by people, and I enjoy helping people find their purpose, live a life of fulfilment, and be successful.
Coaching provides the opportunity and privilege to empower others to unlock their full potential through intentional self-reflection, deliberate exploration and focused action. My favourite part of coaching is when that “aha moment” happens and my clients start moving with clarity, focus, and purpose. It's a rewarding profession and requires a commitment to others, connection, and curiosity.
I love the special feeling of being absolutely present with someone at the moment. Listening with all my senses, knowing the other person is opening and sharing. There is something very special happening at that moment and as a coach, I consider it a gift worth holding high.
On the other side, as I think it is important that clients open up and bring their whole person to the session, I get frustrated when people don't open up.
