What Do You Want?

In almost every presentation or workshop I give, I ask what people want and I always get answers like “I want more money, I want more time, I want more happiness…” I want more! Have you ever asked yourself what you want, I mean what you really want? Hi, my name is...

Are we grateful enough?

Are we grateful enough? Do we feel gratitude and appreciation? Do we see all the good around us? I often wonder when I listen to the moaning and groaning of people. Unless you give the conversation another direction it seems all they want to do is complain about what...

Ready for your Eulogy?

Does that sound morbid to you? Why are most of us so afraid of death? It's part of life, isn't it? Nobody knows when their time will come to pass on and apart from trying our best to live a healthy, good life there is nothing much we can do about this. But we can and...

YOU are good enough!

Let me share a post I read in a forum. It was about self-consciousness and being good enough: I decided that I'd go to McDonald's to get some food. Now I'm not overweight, but I do like McDonald's and I work a lot so there are times when I end up there too often. On...

Day 5 – What Do You Most Value in Life?

It's time to seriously look at your values because they are what drives you to do what you do or don't do in your life. They decide for you on auto-pilot what is right or wrong. It all happens in your subconscious and has a huge influence on how you live your life...

The Purpose Gift

Each of us enters this lifetime with a purpose. We are here for a reason and being human, we want to leave a legacy. Unfortunately, we usually forget our passions and purpose as we grown up and are molded into our parents model of the world. However, as we get older,...

Part 2 – How to Boost Self-love and Confidence

When you like or love yourself more things simply become easier. You will be able to not take things personally. You will stop to belittle yourself or beat yourself up over small issues. You might even stop to hold yourself to an inhuman standard of non-existent perfection. I will also share a very powerful healing technique.

What is Life Coaching?

In the last few years, Life Coaching has become more and more popular. However, most people don’t know enough about it to decide whether it could be right for them or not. I have been in this profession since 1995 so let me try to clarify what coaching is so you can make an educated decision whether it would benefit you and fill the gap you might feel in your life.

Why is Life Coaching so effective?

I am being asked all the time what makes Life Coaching so successful. My answer is: It’s efficiency. But why is it so efficient? Because it is action based and forward oriented while most other self-development tools look at the past and try to find out why we are who...

Look for the message

Last night I watched the film "Troy" on TV. I had seen it twice before nd the one scene that had stuck out for me was the scene where Brad Pitt sprang at the giant he was supposed to fight and slit his throat without a moment of hesitation. It had been the only way to...

Follow your Dreams

Good Morning or is it evening where you are? I got up at 5 am today with really inspiring thoughts, dreams and ways to get to them and I thought I just have to share all this with you. So I wrote my heart out - unfortunately in Livejournal and not here - and after all...
