WHY COACH?As a result of my atypical career, during which I was able to turn my hobby into my job I now enjoy my job as a hobby and this has given me a lot of life experience. The common thread is “people and emotions”.
My strength lies in intrinsically motivating people. For this, one needs honest self-knowledge and reflection, strength/weakness skills analysis and emotions. Only then one achieves authenticity and the strength to undertake targeted actions. This is the basis of all communication, teamwork and/or leadership.
