Holistic Coaching

Transform your Life:
Holistic Coaching

Would you like to transform your life or the way you go about your job? Do you feel a bit stuck and not in your full potential? Would you like to explore what it means to live your life with purpose, strength, and joy?

I can help you 'grow your wings' with a holistic coaching approach that combines mental, emotional and physical elements; fully custom-designed to your needs.

The mental tools I use are grounded in my thirty years experience as a leadership development coach in international companies. The overall goal is to strengthen your "development mindset', which will allow you to see challenges and set-backs as normal parts of life and as growth opportunities. This will be supported by skill development - depending on your needs we may work on communication skills, team leadership, conflict management, stress release, 'managing up' (dealing with a difficult boss), or similar.

Physical work is inspired by my twenty years experience as a Martial Arts teacher. I may show you breathing exercises and simple Tai Chi moves that help you balance and increase your energy. Or we may go on a mindfulness walk in nature to help you change perspective....

Some Examples / Applications

Positive Life Change; a new Vision

If it is time for a change in your life, we can help you find your path and make your dreams happen. Through inspiring coaching sessions, guided meditation, and body work you will connect to who you really are; exploring your deep life purpose and values. What would you like to do in this life, and what helps or hinders you to do it?
Coaching exercises include Vision compass, Life journey reflections, Goal setting and implementation, connecting to your resources, and much more.
All sessions are custom-designed to your needs, so we may do much more than that.

Presentation Skills

Learn how to express yourself and engage others through your meaningful and clear communication. Discover your authentic style and develop your presentation skills. Engaging your audience or communication partner requires skills on many levels. Physical aspects such as your stance, your use of gestures and tone of voice are important. But deeper down is a need for authenticity and credibility: What is your message? Can you use storytelling and examples to create a bridge to your audience? Do you ask powerful questions and engage in active listening? Can you create innovative dialogue, or are you just downloading your point of view?

Using Tai Chi Principles

Tai Chi exercises can teach you how to relax the body while remaining present and engaged. You will learn how to breathe in stressful situations and practice some moves that foster relaxation and recovery.
Setbacks are a normal part of our life and work; through developing your 'inner warrior spirit' you will learn how to recover quickly and find constructive ways of dealing with barriers and resistance. Your natural resilience will increase - without having to push yourself so hard.
You will explore hard and soft approaches to problem solving and conflict resolution (using the ancient Asian principles of balance and integration, Yin and Yang; the soft/flowing/receiving and the hard/fast/expanding energy). Learning to 'yield with purpose' - to consciously decide which challenges to engage with and where to let go - is an important martial arts skill. It can be easily applied to our everyday and work life.

Using Mindfulness & Meditation

You may want to upscale your time management system, and we can help with this - but the true driver of vitality and the ability to manage stress is not time management, but 'energy management'. Regular mind- and body work will allow you to find and expand your individual energy-sources; discovering your 'inner power' and giving it focus and direction. We can coach you to clarify your purpose, priorities, values and guiding principles. Being more mindful of who you are and what you want to do - without sweating the small stuff - will help you live with more purpose and joy.
