After conquering my hesitation to open myself up and expose myself entirely to Ellen (people tend to talk in our town) a lot has happened. Ellen turned out to be sincere, epathetic, humoristic and goal-oriented. Huge insights have completely shifted my focus. What I really want is clearer, my focus sharper and my work a lot more fun in the end. Above all the pain that I felt for a long while in my body disappeared, miraculously fast. That alone is priceless. Commercially it also pays off in ‘no-time’. By now I don’t have one business, but four.

One of my first teams had wasn’t working as well for a while. A feeling of unsafety took the upper hand and there was barely to no communication. With a relative minimal effort she managed to get the team to work together well again. The team members are looking for each other again. Within a short period of time they went through a merge and an educational transformation. They are all looking forward to it again. She has made it so that I can be good for what I am supposed to do: Managing.

From our first contact within the project, you truly wanted to know who I really was and what motivated me. That made me happy. After a handful of playfully asked questions you could already put it to words. I got the ‘DISC-label’ sticker put onto me in the past. Because I learned how to see through the dynamics at work I learned that I didn’t need to look for another job. I found joy again in my work!

After the talent test and some homework what I got just before the coaching session that only consisted of an afternoon of relaxed talking at Ellen’s kitchen table – that was truly everything- I understand myself. My parents still question what happened that one afternoon at the kitchen table.
