How great that you are taking a look at my page! Perhaps you have some questions, maybe something has happened and you are beginning to doubt. Or maybe you are looking for ways to integrate more meaning and happiness into your business. Talking about meaning has meaning and provides meaning! However, discussing life and "difficult topics" does require something from you. What gives your life meaning, how can you feel more (spiritually) connected? How can you apply questions of meaning in your work? I have been wrestling with the word meaning for years and have noticed that both clients and professionals give it a different meaning. I know from my own experience that the topic of meaning often comes up at moments when something of great influence happens in your life. A death, having a child, a burnout, a move, or when your child suffers permanent injury. The examples are all personally applicable to me, and in each case, I was forced to pause and look for new meaning and significance. Also, through my work as a holistic coach, trainer, and social worker, I have had many conversations with people. I have learned not to avoid "difficult topics" and life stories but to address them directly. I found that it often provided space, relief, and could also have practical significance. I also noticed that professionals sometimes hesitate to initiate these discussions or don't know how to do so. Slow down and give yourself the time and space to reflect on questions about meaning, significance, and happiness! Discover that meaning and significance do not just play out in our minds. Talking about meaning or sharing a memory can sometimes be extra challenging for some people. Meaning-making and the subjects related to it touch upon our deeper selves. Due to our upbringing, past traumas, and our norms and values, discussing certain subjects can be particularly difficult. I completely understand that! The conversations and exercises we do step by step and in a safe environment. You can only learn when there is sufficient safety and trust, and it becomes easier when there is also room for laughter. Because that too gives meaning! Offerings: • Customized training in meaningful conversations. • Individual (walk) coaching around meaning and significance. • Being able to find meaning with people with dementia, in illness, or palliative care. • Support for anchoring meaning in your business.
