Get Help with Coach Eric
CHAPTER 1
My Approach
Working together
My approach usually consist of four to eight one-hour sessions to start with. If you are happy with the results, we can continue for another four sessions.
At that point, you can assess if you would to continue with on-going coaching.
For our sessions, I use my transformation model as a base (but not always, depending on the client), and then I draw on different methods and approaches to get the best results for you, based on your history, personality, current situation, and on your objectives.
For corporates and for private individuals.
A model for personal transformation
My sessions combine different methods and tools. As a coach and therapist, it is important that I remain flexible and being able to adapt to your needs and to the flow of your energy in each session.
Still, I have developed a personal transformation model based on Theory U from Otto Scharmer. This model represents the eight sessions that we could spend together to achieve your goals.
This model is very useful if you are close to Burnout or in a Burnout or if you are experiencing a life or work crisis.
If your challenge is different, then we will take some of the elements of the model as needed, but we might not need to follow this exact U process.
What is your situation?
You are doing OK.
You are functioning well, but are you wondering if you should not manage your stress and/or health a bit better so that you can stay performant, happy and healthy.
Then let us make you healthy, stress-proof and build your resilience so that you never have to get close to a burnout.
Are you close to burnout?
You are starting to feel unwell. Mild to moderate mental and physical symptoms are starting to appear and you are not managing your life or work as well as before.
Then my approach will be to help you to prevent a burnout, to recover your health and to build resilience and stability for the future.
Are you already in a burnout?
You are struggling. You have strong symptoms. You lack energy and are feeling down. The future is unclear.
Let us then focus on helping you manage your burnout, heal and find your strength, optimism and vitality again.
Are you in a life crisis and wondering if things can/should continue in the same way?
Perhaps you are thinking about changing job or career, but the uncertainty of change, and perhaps a lack of energy and motivation, are keeping you from moving forward.
I can help you understand your obstacles and deal with your fear of change. Together we can build the next version of yourself so that you can recover clarity and a sense of purpose.
