  • What is Coaching?
    Coaching comes from English and can best be translated as “help for self-help”. The point is that you learn to solve problems and conflicts yourself in a sustainable way. Misunderstandings and frustration often arise in both professional and private contexts because we focus too much on the problem. We are stuck in our own “problem experience”. In this state it is not possible for us to listen to our inner self and seek solutions. Coaching represents a time-limited and solution-oriented support, taking the focus away from the problem towards a solution. As an essential part of personal development, coaching enables you to gain new insights and perspectives. You will learn how to deal with challenges more calmly and gain clarity about your needs, goals, values ​​and resources. Common Coaching topics in both private and professional areas include: Resolving inner- and external conflicts Support in making a decision Helping out with change Accompanying a change in perspective Building mental strength Strengthening self-esteem and self-confidence Resilience and burnout prevention Personality development You are at the center piece of our collaboration. You are the expert with the issue you have and you already carry the solution within you. In my role as a coach, I accompany the process of identifying your concerns and developing possible solutions in order to achieve a goal that you can achieve in a reasonable amount of time. I use proven, effective methods and various questioning techniques for achieving our goal.
