Holistic CoachingWould you like to transform your life? 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?
Once I understand your needs, I will create a program for you that combines mental, emotional and physical elements. Physical work is inspired by my experience as a Nordic Walking and 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.... The mental tools I use are grounded in my 30-years background as an executive coach. In addition, we may engage your "right brain" through Guided Visualisation and Creative Thinking. The overall goal: You can fully step into your potential and "grow your wings". This will increase your general well-being, and support your specific personal and professional development goals. |

Some Examples / Applications
Stress Release
You may feel under external pressure - but the true drivers for feeling stressed lie within yourself. With this coaching program, you can explore how you can change your mindset and relax your body to react to external pressure in a different way. You will also learn how to manage external pressure (for example a difficult boss or relationship) in a more constructive way, which includes developing boundaries, positive communication and feedback skills. Exploring your purpose and goals -- and setting clear priorities based on these -- is another way to create more self-efficacy and joy in your life.

Effective CommunicationLearn 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?

Weight Management
We will not focus on calories or the latest diet in these coaching sessions! Instead, you will experience ways of re-connecting with your inner strength to bring your dreams alive. Nordic walking and Tai chi exercises will kick-start your metabolism and help you build muscle strength and agility. Coaching conversations will increase your awareness of how you can use your mindset to make a change: Explore your authentic self and your life purpose; find inner enablers and barriers to being who you really want to be; change habits that get in your way and replace them with activities that really bring you joy.

Using Tai Chi PrinciplesTai 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 & MeditationYou 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.
