Why do you combine Leadership Coaching and NeuroBalancing?
Coming from a systemic executive coaching background, I've always been looking for the missing link in this vast area of business training and leadership coaching.
Something that successfully glues together motivation, purpose, clarity, focus as well as balance, fulfillment and resilience at work.
Unanswered questions remained: "Why are we getting in our own way? Why can we so often not perform the way we would actually like to? What are those patterns that are repeatedly coming back and creating these limiting obstacles on our personal and business path?
Here is what I finally discovered: The key for me was understanding, regulating and healing my own nervous system!
In a conventional coaching or even therapy setting, it all happens on the level of the thinking, analytical mind, the prefrontal cortex.
But, the majority of your stress, fear and overwhelm are a result of past activations of your system that are not yet fully resolved and regulated.
And they are governed by completely different parts of your brain, that you cannot access by talking about them.
That's why so often peoples issues come back, after a short-term relief.
So, when you try to create a fulfilled, succesful future without being aware of unconscious patterns from the past it cannot work.
You need energy, power and focus to perform as a founder, entrepreneur and leader.
If that is wasted by having a nervous-system that is stuck in the past you will unconsciously re-create and experience the same problems again and again.
NeuroBalancing solves that for good.
The most important thing is to transcend the level of the thinking mind. The cortical brain, which in many classic coaching and even therapy modalities is the standard thing. Right? It's about talking about your problems, analyzing the situation and the trigger, maybe creating a couple of strategies, how to do it differently, and so on. But this doesn't really touch the core.
So the key to lasting and deep transformation lies in embodiment or, first of all, getting a connection to your own body again. Because the body is where the magic happens. The body is where the patterns and the emotions and everything basically are stored. So it doesn't really help by just talking about it.
It's really about experiential transformation. And this means to first really get a connection to yourself again.
It is all about slowing down. Like the Zen saying goes:
“When you need to move quickly, slow down.”
It's always about slowing down. And then we go deep. And then at some point, we dive deep.
So we go into the feeling, we go into the body and work on a completely different level. This can sometimes appear to people that not much is happening from the outside. But inside, a lot of things are happening. Because if we're working on the level of the nervous system this is where the really magical healing properties of the body can start doing what they know and how to do so.
I am holding space and guiding with compassion and gentleness, but also with loving persistence. I guide you to go to the place where the transformation lies or where the healing can happen.
Establishing trust is the most important factor.
I don’t judge you.
I provide open awareness and a non judgmental space for that. Out of myself being grounded, centered and balanced you can allow yourself to resonate with that self regulated state of my nervous system. This happens completely subconsciously. So if you are sitting with me and suddenly feel safe, and we don't really know why and people sometimes say I have no idea but it feels totally right to talk to you about this or to share this now. Something you may have never shared to anyone before. Then I know also that your nervous system feels safe with me now. And now you know that you can can start releasing your tension.
The interventions are on multiple levels:
On the level of the reptile brain and on the level of the emotional brain, the limbic brain and the level of the cortical brain thinking brain to remind the person system that they are safe here and now that they are here and now there are tools for that.
The tools that I've learned that I know that I apply myself in order to stay calm and balanced. And this is the most important thing no matter what you are going through. Even when you are overwhelmed, frightened or angry. My calm presence is here, no matter what. And that allows you to fully experience what needs to be experienced.
It’s about feeling all emotions, releasing them and coming back into the present moment. And in that present moment the healing happens.
I was really stressed because of my job. I completely lost my daily routines like sports, meditation and nurturing my body with healthy food which led to low self-esteem. I also felt left out in groups and I was lacking to communicate my needs and boundaries properly. My motivation to join this tribe was to practice exactly that, expressing my needs and boundaries in groups. What I learned in this program is that I never reflected on my feelings and emotions. I´d rather play numb than allow myself to drown in emotions. But that led me to shallow connections and no self-improvement. Now I´m a curious explorer of my emotions. I make time and room for myself to practice that and it´s helping me a lot. My motivation to do good things for myself came back. I love myself more. I set and communicate boundaries. I see and feel myself in groups much better. And what can I say, it´s amazing, it´s such an empowering feeling. And I´m only at the very beginning of becoming the best version of myself. I recommend this program to everyone that feels like something is missing. Some spark, some motivation, some inspiration. Inspecting your emotions, sensations and thoughts and putting them in the right context can be a real eye-opening experience. And I would definitely recommend going on the extended retreat as this really makes you go down the rabbit hole. It can really show you your biggest fears and insecurities and initiates a beautiful way of dealing with these and start healing. You´ll be a better person after the program.
