Adventure self-reflection – insights into the first coaching program
On January 25, 2023, the first 12-week program of upskilled started. 15 participants from different walks of life set out on an adventure with me. The goal was to discover oneself –one's own visions, values, and goals as well as ways to implement them in everyday life in a self-reflective way.
When strangers become a community
We met that Wednesday afternoon as strangers in the first group coaching. In the meantime, we have already experienced many personal «ahas», mastered challenges, and have grown together as a group. The structured weekly inputs have to be implemented directly in everyday life – so the theoretical insights are constantly joined by practical experiences that consolidate knowledge and bring new skills to light.
Anyone who wants to grow can join
«Is this course right for me?» is the question I get asked most often. «Yes, if you want to get ahead» is my answer. The first run lived on the diversity of the participants: Students, mothers who had to accommodate their children on Wednesdays, CFOs, self-employed multimedia producers, bankers, and other life backgrounds mingled. My experience? Everyone complemented each other wonderfully with their different perspectives and experiences. Because they had one thing in common: an interest in self-reflection, a will to get ahead.
It's the continuity that counts
Exploring oneself, dealing intensively with one's own strengths, weaknesses, fears and dreams requires discipline. At the same time, we push ourselves within the group to keep at it and overcome one hurdle after another. The insights from the coaching sessions have an impact on our lives beyond the program. «It's a shame that the course will soon be over,» says one participant as we say goodbye finishing module 9, «but Wednesday evenings will remain reserved for self-reflection in the future.»
I believe that the greatest added value of the program is not the content, but the relationships that are created. We want to be seen and talk about deep things that move us. In addition, there is a regularity of self-reflection that after 12 weeks becomes a habit that moves you forward.
In a few days, the first 12-week program will end. The second program is already in the starting blocks and begins on May 10, 2023 . I'm looking forward to going on the journey with you soon, too.
