As Carl Jung said: “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” This is where everything starts. And so the first pillar of my practice is awareness. I will help you start or deepen the practice of building your self-awareness, and raise your emotional intelligence.

But awareness is not enough. Most people already know what they should be doing, but they don't know how to get it done. Our natural tendency is to blame, to find the reason we’re not successful. Best case scenario, we blame ourselves: “I’m too direct”, “I let people boss me around“, “I freeze under stress”. With blame, we give away our power and our responsibility to change. Luckily, curiosity—a real-life superpower, and the second pillar of my coaching philosophy—allows you to move past the blame and towards growth and learning.

Last but not least, once you are aware of the problem and know what to do about it, it's time to act. Consistently, and in alignment with your values. Or what psychologists call a valued engagement—the third pillar of my practice. If you've never thought about your values in a structured way, we'll spend some time exploring that area. There's usually a lot to uncover there.
