For me coaching is the stimulation of own abilities and resources. My clients already have everything they need. Depending on their requirements my challenge as a coach is to be a promoter in the process of coaching or their projecting background: on-screen in the analogy of our life movie’s direction.
I see myself as an attendance in a temporarily limited process with my customers. The most important aspect to me is the same eye level. My own processes – the direction of my own life – make me fit for being a respectful and esteeming attendance in the process of change and transformation.
My services include online or telephone coaching sessions. Many issues are suitable for this kind of coaching, some are unsuitable. The very first step is to find out what issue is on top for you and how you and me get along. That part of the process of course is free and non-committal. Please find more informations about my service: here.
Even if coaching often deals with issues from business life it is holistic for me at the same time. A person that has (big) difficulties to communicate or stay balanced in the „system company“ has similiar experiences in the „system family“. Often dogma and hidden scripts are the reason for it. Much can
be changed and transformed simply by awareness. The wish most of the time is the deciding first step. Wishing a change sets energies free. These energies get a direction and focus in coaching. Coaching always has goals that are clearly to define.
The analogy of direction has impacts on business life as well as on private life: down to earth, pragmatic or playful and easy - my clients define the contents of their coaching. To direct one’s own (business)life is an overriding metaphor that I developed to make coaching processes and their results long lasting and sustainable. Coaching is successful when the “inner director” of the client takes over afterwards and keeps the original issue in view.
I coach in companies that are traded at the stock exchange as well as in start-ups and small enterprises. Private customers come to work with me, too. To stimulate and empower the self-responsibility and
(self-) awareness has direct impact on all systems in which people move and feel associated. Here we can move a lot together at the same eye level.
When the „innere critic“ of a client all of a sudden is one voice of many in her chorus which she can listen to and still go for her goals… when the leader who is used to fight both against his team and against the upper managment realizes that he can truely change his situation by renewing his communication and image of humanity… when the congealed client quits her job in which she had been suffering for years and then feels alive again and sits there with shining eyes…those are the moments enriching my engagement with satisfaction and meaningfulness. That is the reason why I became a coach.
Feedback Scientist
I kept running in my hamster wheel. I ran and ran and ran, and nobody stopped me. That was my situation when I started to work with my coach Sandra Heinzelmann. I had found her on the world wide web. I have been working as a freelancer for years with temporary employments. I felt I needed a change badly but had no idea where to start. After a few sessions my husband who did not know about my coaching noticed some changes. Also some work-mates asked me what was different recently. I found a way to go for a work that fulfils me more. I feel more at ease with myself and my situation. And: I was able to stop the hamster wheel myself and get out of the cage…
