One 2 One Coaching Techniques
Coaching Objective
My focus in One 2 One is to help clients realize their unique potential, to develop their identity, and empower them to realize their mission.
This sounds almost like a commonplace, as these days every commoner wants to be a coach and pretends, for in the most cases pure profit reasons, that helping others to grow was his or her motivation. I have met many of these so-called coaches who are often brilliant Internet marketers, and have tested their products. In nine of ten cases I was not only disappointed but felt I had been cheated and fooled. This is the reality we have to face in today's Internet world. On the other hand, I clearly see after ten years of sustained effort to offer my services on the Internet that I was not given even a slight chance to succeed. My successes were coming from local marketing and personal contacts, and never from any exposure on the Internet. So, you may wonder why I continue, then?
Well, let's see things from a realistic perspective. I am not a marketer and do not have the talent of most of these scam artists to throw around my weight and fill people's minds with well-sounding promises. From my former lawyer's career I have kept a critical mind toward miracle searching and guruism that now pervades (and perverts) the private fantasies and hopes of otherwise rational-minded people, especially in the United States.
This being said, I have developed my coaching focus and techniques in long years of struggling with my own problems, trying out dozens of methods on myself, to see for their effectiveness. After a while, I began to realize that not every method fits every person and that after all I had to find my own mix. What worked best became an ingredient of my own coaching soup and was distilled and processed thoroughly within my open consciousness.
To this purpose, my second career as an educator* allowed me to test some of my insights in human growth processes in the pre-school and kindergarten environment.
This experience taught me that what is traditionally done in child education is rather destructive to help unfolding the human potential and that a true revolution in early child education is a stringent necessity for the near future.
My Coaching Soup
My Zen soup, so to say, for coaching, is not the result of an academic effort, nor is it a greedy reaching out for short-term successes.
After having tested most of the techniques that I am now offering to corporate and private clients over more than twenty years, and having seen some of them working for children as well, I would like to summarize them here:
- daily exposure to high-quality music, preferably Baroque string music;
- eager study of biographies of great artists, politicians and business people;
- the least possible planning and the greatest possible creative freedom;
- listening to the body's own intelligence in all matters of life;
- building your life around your love;
- realizing your intrinsic love wishes and sexual attraction;
- learning through the deliberate use of our subconscious mind;
- observing your dreams, learning to remember them and writing them down;
- developing the inner mind through building awareness of our inner entities;
- developing the power of these inner energies through the inner dialogue;
- developing full consciousness about the past, thus overcoming its dominance;
- developing self-expression through write and speech, and positive dialogue;
- a daily meditation, relaxation and fitness program;
- active integration of our emotions, and our shadow;
- facing the impossible by realizing that all human greatness impossible;
- active development of right-brain qualities such as -
- associative and imaginative thinking;
- vision building;
- building of faith through positive prayer;
- building anticipation through joyful involvement;
- spontaneous creation and serendipity art;
- building the inner actor, the inner artist, the inner child;
- involving the chaos principle and awareness of decay processes;
- recycling the mind through meditation and forgiveness;
- building critical and political thinking, and discrimination;
- building a truthful, honest, vigilant and uncorrupt mind;
- building innocence as the true power of love and understanding.
After having gone through this list, you will acknowledge that no quick fix however cunningly invented and presented will ever help you develop your true potential.
What on the other can help you is potential astrology. I have practiced astrology since my student years, but as a matter of focus specialized in one field of this immensely wide science: potential astrology. This esoteric technique helps very effectively to get to know your karma and dharma. It has helped me overcome a totally alienating and traumatic childhood and youth and find my true mission.
