Our purpose as coaches

Escher: Encounter

His life oscillates, as everyone's does, not

merely between two poles, such as the body
and the spirit, the saint and the sinner, but
between thousands and thousands.
Hermann Hesse: The Stepwolf.

With a new light

we are able to
bring new life.

Building my self-confidence enabled me

to be trustful with the management team.
I feel I have now permission to fail.
I made a great step: From being victim of
my own feelings and negativity to being
able to organize and lead them.

If I judge someone else and call them a

stranger,
alien,
foreigner,
different,
awkward, unusual then I know that
someone with those same attributes is
inside of me waiting for me to recognize,
acknowledge and integrate them.

Insights
Transformation results when we focus our
energy in becoming ourselves, instead of
trying to be someone else.
We become owners of our own lives.

By the way, do
you know by
now who
decided for you
what clothes
you should
wear today?

Remedios Varo: Presencia inquietante

Thanks to this process, I can work even with

the most difficult person or someone from the
most diverse background. I know how to deal
with myself as I never did before.
The integration of my rejected selves allowed
me to feel integrated at the managerial level.
Agreement and coordination are no longer a
problem to solve.
The obstacles were inside my chest.
Miguel
