simplicity of happiness · happy#185 – an external view Sometimes I think that I have it figured all out. After all, I did so much coaching with others and am well aware of my own desires and wishes that I am the only one who does not need to have an own coach.Guess what, that ain‘t true. No matter how experienced you are, it always helps to get an external view to reflect yourself. Your unconscious… Read More »happy#185 – an external view

happy#181 – everything comes with a price

  • by

simplicity of happiness · happy#181 – everything comes with a price I talked about this concept before. What affects the quality of a situation the most, is not so much the situation itself but your mindset towards it.Almost every incident in life can be seen from two different perspectives. Everything you love comes with something you don‘t. You will need to accept the downsides to become happy with what you are doing.I had to experience… Read More »happy#181 – everything comes with a price

takes two to tango

  • by

Ever tried to dance tango on your own? Difficult, right? Not only is it difficult alone, but also when you don’t harmonize with your partner and/or one is trying to lead by pressure. It is a silent cooperation that is based on a set of agreements. You set some boundaries for your joined experience and then you dance in harmony. It makes sense to decide beforehand  if the dance will be polka or tango. all… Read More »takes two to tango

climbing high & coaching deep

  • by

Most coachings are about reaching the next possible goal. Breaking it down in small reachable steps and setting the mindset to get started.

I am not interested in that. I don’t want to get paid for helping my clients to stay ordinary. I am looking for the extraordinary in you. I want to empower you to dream big and turn your dreams into your truth.

professional? not with me… anymore!

  • by

For the longest time in my professional career I tried to be professional, not too sloppy, not too emotional, not too esoteric, not too spiritual.

I started as a Headhunter and realized I don‘t want to fill random positions for random people in random industries. I wanted to work for human beings and lead by living an extraordinary life myself.
