“Even when I
was a girl I had a
psychologist in me,
a philosopher, and
a keen observer of
people.”
“In 1999 I used my
personal crisis as a
starting point for
my second career
path.”
Slowly, however, I started to feel the need to help people
with their daily lives and their future. I wanted to learn how
to coach people and I did so in one of the most renowned
institutes of its kind in Berlin. Coaching originally comes from
competitive sports, it briefly focuses on the problem and
then immediately switches to defining goals, putting them
into practice and working out a timeline. People who keep
developing and who want to fulfil their true potential and
discover their strengths, both in a professional as well as in
a private context, come to me when they need support. I find
that kind of goal-oriented approach extremely fascinating.
L.L. You work with a principle that is highly efficient,
scientifically proven, and that has been awarded several
prizes: “Working with the inner adult” according to the
method of Dr Bock®. Would you tell us what this fascinating
concept is all about?
C.E. Between 2014 and 2015 I was the only Austrian to be
part of a high-profile international network of only six
TopCoaches where I was able to make amazing experiences
directly with the creator of the method, Dr Petra Bock.
Experiences that my clients profit from when it comes to
reaching their full potential as grownup and free individuals,
thus making them extraordinarily successful and giving
them a purpose and high quality of life. During coaching
we identify a client’s negative inner monologues – so it’s
about getting to know someone’s inner life, their mindset,
and changing it. Because it is that inner monologue – that
people are often unaware of until their coaching starts –
that people purposely use to keep themselves small, be
extremely hard on themselves, criticise and push themselves,
expose themselves to pressure or fear, chronically mistrust
themselves or others, follow outdated rules or push themselves
from one kick to the next. There is an amazing series
of best-selling books by Dr Bock from Berlin and she’s the
creator of that method.
