I help people think, learn & grow; I hold space to ponder, understand and make
courageous choices; and I hope to inspire the world to embrace their life, work
and "human condition" in all its beautiful and challenging facets. I especially
enjoy working with leaders, coaches and people who consider themselves in a
"position of great responsibility". I help them navigate the big and small
questions of life and business. My work is evidence-based, informed by positive
psychology and other branches of science and is grounded in the philosophical
framework of existentialism. This unique combination will help you understand
what drives your behaviour, manage & embrace life's many challenges, figure out
what makes your life worth living and take action. People have much more in
common than they have differences. That is why, existentially, we're all unique,
yet very similar at a fundamental level. An understanding of human nature as
well as individual cognitive and emotional processes in combination with
psychological sciences, common sense and an upfront mode of practicing enable me
to work with a broad range of clients. I have learned and experienced, that this
knowledge is worth more than understanding specific environments, business
sectors or technical processes. In my work I... - facilitate development 1on1
and in group sessions helping clients to reach goals, make difficult decisions,
create meaning, overcome anxiety, get motivated and generally deal with life's
adversities & challenges, - resolve conflicts between and within people,
communities and organisations, - lead and develop personal & social education
tutoring, workshops and training (leadership, assertiveness, confidence
building, communication, strengths, relationships etc - over 200 topics), - work
towards establishing personal development as a universal school subject, -
promote integrative approaches to talking practice combining aspects of
coaching, therapy, mentoring, consulting and mediation.
