Life coaching in English
Sometimes we feel disappointed about things going differently than we intended them.
You may feel that…
- your partner does not fully understand you (or your perspective)
- you have been longing for that special someone for too long
- your work involves too much conflict and stressful situations
- you are not doing the things you have dreamed of doing a few years back
- you have a stressing relationship with your parents / kids
- an illness has come to dominate your life (psychosomatic or other)
If you would like to change, but lack the knowledge to do so, I can help you get to know your own feelings and needs better, and through a deeper self-awareness find that uniqueness and potential that is hidden inside you. Your well-being, peace-of-mind and happiness in life depends on you only. You don’t need to change the whole world! If a given situation makes you anxious or hurts too much, you can do three things.
1) Change ‘it’:
acknowledge the conflict, stand-up for yourself and be vocal about your wishes and demands. Get all people involved on the same page and try to change things to reach a mutually satisfying solution. How you win over others in this conflict will be crucial for you and your team to feel mutually satisfied with the outcome. I can provide you with many effective communication tools that will help with accomplishing much anticipated change.
2) Change your perspective:
…and examine carefully how you are involved in this story, what was your role in the development of the conflict and what you did to improve things? Have a look at the situation from different perspectives – some of them may be unknown to you. You might not have noticed something or taken into account important inputs. You will be able to participate in your own life much more actively by developing your self-awareness and self-consciousness – allowing you to develop a new set of behaviours.
3) Move on:
if none of the above two possibilities have proved worthwhile despite your best intentions, there is still a third alternative. It is time to say goodbye to a few things that have accompanied you along your way so far: a relationship that doesn’t work out any more; a job or role that does not allow you to exploit your strengths; a place where you no longer feel good. You conclude and pack-up: you let go of whatever is not serving your purposes any more, but take with you all the joy, knowledge and experience that you gained on this journey so far and can help you to explore the possibilities and opportunities ahead.
