Chance favors the prepared mind. Ansel Adams
What distinguishes my work is that it combines my experience as coach and as counselor. As coach, I realize the power of having a well-defined goal - but I acknowledge the limits of will-power and the need for deeper reflection. As counselor, I realize the value of turning attention inward to explore deeply held (usually unconscious) beliefs and values - but I also acknowledge the limits of self-exploration if integration and focused action to facilitate new behavior are poor.
Coming from the field of science, I have been working with individuals and teams for more than 10 years. What has drawn me to this work is my own aspiration to increase meaning and purpose in my work, and the joy I find in supporting individuals and groups to step into their power.
In private and professional contexts I can observe the importance of an appropriate balance between insight and action: If we understand our past better but don't change our present conditions, we make only half the step. Reversely, if we envisage a future life without increasing acceptance of who we are now, we miss the other.
I am working in a wide range of seetings: From neigborhood dispute resolution center to executive level in the world of Fortune 500 companies. I am meeting individuals who seek to increase their ability to craft self-determined, responsible lives. Some of them, sometimes, feel stuck, wish to increase the commitment to their growth, or can see value in the added clarity and accountability that comes with my work.
I offer my presence, my intention to meet you where you are - and a variety of specific tools to support you finding your own answers.
