My tools
Sparring and Feedback
Sometimes you would like me to just listen, then you want a lively exchange. Once in a while you wish a straightforward opinion or an advice. I will also give you a constructive feedback on your improvements during our coaching.
Systemic Questions
Systemic questions are often unconventional and can expand your field of perception. This results in tailor-made solutions. Examples of systemic questions: “How would an outsider describe the problem?”, “How would you know that the problem is solved?”.
Systemic Constellation
I use your brain’s natural tendency to spatially represent complex processes. This spatialization of certain parts of the system (e.g. roles or people) enables a better understanding of systems. This leads to problem solving and decisions in an intuitive way.
Inner Team
You may want to overcome you weaker self or control other parts of you. They are all members of your inner team. Working with the inner team leads to greater self-motivation and stronger leadership.
Transaction Analysis
Psychological approach to understand one’s own biography. Very valuable as a diagnostic tool to better grasp your concerns and personality.
Mental Training
Prepare for future tasks and situations through imagination. Especially helpful for presentations, negotiations and conflict situations. Also interesting for controlling behavior that is not being helpful.
Communication
Training
With the help of various role plays, video feedback, understanding of interactions and personality types, we work on your communication skills and help resolve conflicts.
Symbolism
Targeted use of metaphors in coaching. Visualisation and drawing help you to put yourself in certain situations or to illustrate complex processes.
Value and Meaning
A set of tools to understand and sharpen your own value system. Tools for finding a new position in your own life. Meaning of private life vs. work.
Mindfulness
Training
I can use it to direct your attention to your inner processes. 90% of the brain is normally inaccessible. Mindfulness training is a key to your emotions, intuition and hidden abilities.
