 "[some] People do their best not to remember and not to accept the immense magical potential they possess, because that would upset their neat little universes". - Paulo Coelho
Who ever you are, from a person managing personal relationships to a corporate executive struggling to be more “emotional intelligent”, your potential for success begins with self-awareness and self-acceptance.
As a Life and Personal Development coach, I support you in that. I see my role as an Awareness and Change Agent, and Coaching as a process that allows what is deep, in the background or hidden, to emerge into the awareness of the individual and the system.
Do you want to:
- slow down and observe yourself more closely?
- risk thinking and experiencing yourself and the world in new ways?
- understand yourself and others better?
- have better relationships with yourself and others?
- learn to be more authentic in your life and your work?
- experiment with new ways of being?
- understand and overcome limiting patterns?
- Learn new skills and competencies?
I create a safely held yet challenging space that allows you to do just that.
My approach is to help you develop your capacity for self-observation and acceptance in the present, and your capacity to live successfully in the moment by not deferring a sense of success to some future date. Then to help you identifying areas for authentic growth and development towards a new way of being in the future. I subscribe to Gestalt’s Paradoxical Theory of Change, which says:
‘Change comes from being more fully who or what you are, not from trying to be different’.
