Coaching
"Most of us spend too much time on what is urgent and not enough time on what is important."
Every day we have the opportunity to change, start over and create something special. That's why it's so important to invest in yourself!
As a LIFE in BALANCE coach, I have been working with people for many years to find new energy and inner peace through meditation and breathing, for example.
How I myself came to this and what has changed with me, I tell you below in my very personal story.
Who doesn't have them, the big dreams and ambitions for themselves?
"Next year I'm going to change a lot of things and take more time for myself". Heard that before?
But then the relentless daily work routine always catches up with us. "It's doom and gloom for me", "my To Do list is endless" and not infrequently we also hear " my life is going the same way", etc. This list can be extended at will.
The term "hamster wheel" has become a synonym for more and more people for their own life situation. Everyone wants to get out of their hamster wheel. Again and again we are confronted with events in life that we seem to have no influence on and this often brings us out of balance.
I have always loved working with people and showing them new ways to get exactly where they really want to be. This is often a very exciting process. I will show you easy to learn techniques so that you can develop your full potential and balance in every single area of your life - especially at work. Explanations and also scientific backgrounds will be conveyed to you in an easy to understand way and can be put into practice immediately.
I myself am more of a perfectionist, to whom even small things are important. Small things can often achieve great things. A small seed pod can grow into a huge tree if it falls on fertile soil and there is room for it to develop.
Nature has always served as a model for me. But of course only when it was suitable for the job! Whenever it became uncomfortable, i.e. when I really had to change something, I put my job first. After all, I was a top performer at a major international bank, active and on the road around the clock as an investment banker. London, New York, Singapore, Beijing, Abu Dhabi and then back to my family in Frankfurt. Trips like that were the order of the day. And yet - seemingly contradictory - I have always been and still am very close to nature. I love to be out in nature somewhere in the world - especially in Scandinavia.
But living in the rhythm of nature, my job didn't allow that - at least that's what I believed. So it was no surprise that my biorhythm soon went haywire. It also happened that when I woke up in the morning, I no longer knew which country I was in. Job and income just always came first. At the beginning, I put up with sleep disturbances and gradually also the first health problems came about.
My time in investment banking full of stress, where everything revolved around money and success, was a very important and decisive one for me. More and more often I started to think about my life. I decided to set my own pace, quit my job, started my own business, built up a management consulting office and traveled a lot through Europe, the Middle East and Asia. My interlocutors, from young to old, still come from very different backgrounds e.g. family offices, sports organizations like the German Football League and Bundesliga clubs, media groups, government organizations, private companies etc.
Finding the right people for my clients, getting to know them and then bringing them together is what I have always enjoyed doing. And usually, besides business, people often talk about life itself and the deep desire to finally change their restless lifestyle. Most just don't know how. Simply downloading a meditation app only works to a very limited extent. So I have met many interesting and extraordinary people from many cultures very personally. Through this, many wonderful friendships have developed over the years in many places around the world. For this I and also my family are very grateful.
But the dream of having more time for myself and the family - what a surprise - did not come true at the beginning, of course. I was too much controlled by my work and as a perfectionist, my workload and stress inevitably increased. In 2010, I was diagnosed with chronic stress-related stomach problems and decided to make a real change. On the recommendation of a banker, I traveled to India for three weeks to take an Ayurvedic cure. Without knowing it, this decision was about to change my life. There, in addition to the Ayurvedic treatments, I learned a special meditation technique that was very easy to learn and that particularly inspired me. Furthermore, I was taught special yoga and breathing techniques. After completing the Ayurveda cure, my complaints were gone, I was full of energy and very grateful for what I was able to experience there.
Back in Germany, I lived a different rhythm from then on. My business grew healthily and my life came back into a healthy balance. From then on I had myself coached regularly every two weeks and visited workshops, seminars, universities and other institutes in different countries to deepen my knowledge and techniques.
Since then, my wife Karin and I have been doing Ayurveda treatments regularly and always feel great afterwards. My environment noticed the change in me and many, especially stressed people, wanted to know what I did. I willingly explained to everyone in detail what I was applying in my daily life. Whereupon gradually more and more people asked me if I could coach them in learning meditation and managing mental and physical stress.
So a trip to India led me to what I teach people today together with my wife Karin and our team at Santulan LIFE in Frankfurt.
Yes, it's true, some things just take time and may not work out right away. Not even with myself. I was confronted with many challenges and disappointments. We have simply forgotten to give things time and want to pop a "pain pill" that helps immediately. We know that the effect is only short term and we have to keep topping it up. For the moment we are apparently satisfied with it even if we know that this does not eliminate our problem.
But if you are open, invest time in yourself and keep at it, you will succeed - in the long run! Guaranteed!
