Real World Thoughts and Stories

A man is not a plan or Don’t live someone else’s life
And I mean it to the very core of these statements. Part of my work is supporting women in executive positions or those who aspire to them. I also support executive assistants in their professional development, a target group that is still 90% female. These women are...

Teams and a new feeling of belonging
I recently had several face-to-face workshops with clients of mine. As much as I love working virtually, there is something to the fact of being with a group or team in one room, working on challenging topics, watching the reactions, the body language, and the...

Slow down – will you?
“How was your vacation? Wonderful, we were in Italy for 3 weeks”. Those short fun conversations are gone, since summer vacation was over around the beginning of or mid-September. The fun conversations were quickly followed by “It was wonderful but after one week I was...
The Time Illusion We Create
Whenever I travel, I see the time miscalculation that is created in the world we live in. It’s the flawless illusion of always getting things done or getting to a place on time. We are telling ourselves stories and believing them, too. After the pandemic, we are...
What is the MORE you are looking for?
One of the taglines I use in my coaching business is: Reach your goal, explore the more. The MORE is often the part people cannot identify. Recently, I have had a few of these encounters. People who are not happy with where they are or what they do. At the same time...
Stop pleasing the world around you – you’ll never succeed
In a conversation with a friend last night, and following a FB discussion on a very similar subject, I couldn’t fall asleep before writing my next blog. Once again, it’s about women who think they have to please the world around them first. On top of that, apologize,...
Save harbor and traveling the world
Time flies, even in this crazy time of the pandemic. In the beginning of the year I wrote that we all need to find a reset button. Well, you can tell I found it. I have made use of these crazy times when I had no control over my environment. I was getting upset about...
The new year is in full swing. Have you noticed?
The cautious joy is once again being shadowed by the déjà-vu of the Corona events. There is something weird in the air. The holiday break did not feel like one. Not enough variety since we were only allowed to visit in the privacy of our own homes. We are tired of...
Nothing will change anyway
This was a comment of a young woman who criticized her friend for making resolutions. I curiously overheard their conversation. “Nothing is going to change anyway”. Is this really the case? Can’t we move anything in life? Her second point of criticism was why we make...
Get a damn coach
I‘m getting tired of stories and excuses. When I turn 40 I want... When my children grow up… When my children start school… When my children finish college… When my husband starts his new career… When the weather changes… When I retire… I could go on and on. Whatever...
Don’t make yourself an easy victim
“Me? As a woman? There is no place for me at this company.” This was a sentence I heard some weeks ago from a pretty frustrated young woman who is going through a rough time in her life. Sentences like these tend to stay with me for a while. They make me think. They...
Change – yes, it always comes unasked for
It was one of those days last Sunday that will be nearly impossible to forget. It’s an unpleasant anniversary of Friday the 13th, 2020. This was the day I saw my clients in person for the last time. The day that turned my life upside down and shortly after we all knew...
