The right to be YOU!

Live your life with purpose, vitality and fulfilment

Often people say the best way to learn is the hard way and unfortunately I was no different. Having coached myself through some turbulent and traumatic times, I personally experienced the power of coaching. Asking yourself those pertinent questions to which you know the true answer, but choose to not hear or listen to.

Nowadays, I can honestly say that learning happens the smart way, which means having a Life Coach. Society is starting to embrace the importance and invaluable experience a Life Coach has in your life.

A Life Coach is a neutral non-judgemental person that will assist you in finding your own tailor-made solutions. When we are told on how we should manage our lives; when we are given advice by others filled with “you should”, “you must”, “you could” scenarios, we subconsciously resist the recommendation and no change occurs.

Nevertheless, a Life Coach will guide you to uncover your own brilliant unique insight, which will empower and motivate you to make the desired change in a natural and resourceful transition. You are the Master of your life; hence you are in the best position to make informed decisions; decisions which impact on your life in a positive and complete manner. A Life Coach should not provide you with any advice, instead you will be empowered with tools and skills that support, inspire and complement your goals.

Coaching is not therapy or counselling, as both of these modalities are a form of healing. Coaching makes you consciously aware of your thought patterns, habits, emotions, attitude and belief system with the core purpose of shifting your mindset to embrace your life to its fullest potential and your ultimate best.

A Life Coach can be used for any life situation and challenge, regardless how big or small.

Some examples are:

Background

Looking back at my life, I am extremely grateful for every life experience and trauma I have encountered. One could even say that I have been guided and blessed in many instances. Through each challenge and situation I have grown and developed to a level I would never have anticipated or imagined.

At a young age I accomplished countless successes, most of them I never consciously intended to achieve. Often the roads where rocky with endless stumbles and deviations, learning the hard way seemed to be my middle name. During my life journey I occasionally lost sight of who I truly was, along with what my deepest inspirations where.

In my teenage years I had the ultimate wish to help and heal people; hence the choice of nursing seemed natural and logical. The news that I should never be able to become a Theatre nurse, due to a spinal weakness shattered my dreams. Now, 20 years later I have found my dream resurface and this time I can honour myself by becoming a Life Coach, therefore being able to finally fulfil a long awaited dream.

Kerstin has a strong background in the corporate business, in depth financial understanding, hands- on leadership and management experience as well as emotional intelligence. Having worked as an Executive Director in the corporate financial industry for the last 9 years has provided her with adequate life experience and knowledge.
