Self worth and finding peace within
The American Psychological Association defines integration as the coordination or unification of parts into a totality.
​​
"The integration and acceptance of our totality - our successes, failures, life experiences, traits, behavioural patterns, desires, upbringing, intergenerational content, and the aspects of ourselves that we shut out, compare to others, or fear will exclude us from belonging - is necessary for us to feel grounded in our self-worth.
​
The more we integrate all aspects of ourselves, the more able we are able to make conscious decisions, reduce internal conflict, and live with greater well-being. This integration improves the quality of our relationships, increases our chances of aligned success, allows us to live in the fullness of who we are, and helps us feel peace within.
This is my wish for everyone I am privileged to work with." Lutz Otto
Transformation
"Transformation is an evolutionary process that we deeply feel and experience. Once it occurs, we move beyond just understanding it intellectually to fully and sustainably living the change. We embody a rooted version of our authentic self, with acceptance and clarity that transcends our past. This shift is such, that even under pressure or when very relaxed, we do not unconsciously revert to our old ways. Such transformation can occur multiple times in our lives." Lutz Otto
Vulnerability
"Believing that vulnerability is unsafe is at its best a basic defense, and in reality, an illusion. Our psychological and physiological makeup, our humanness, makes each of us vulnerable, whether we would like to believe it or not. The vulnerability and courage of doing the work necessary to find and show our truth far outweighs the lifelong burden of living an inauthentic life." Lutz Otto
“Not the world, not what’s outside of us, but what we hold inside traps us. We may not be responsible for the world that created our minds, but we can take responsibility for the mind with which we create our world.” Gabor Mate
Executive Coaching
Executive coaching is widely embraced as focused, facilitative, personalized, catalytic, and empowering proactive development.
​
​As you climb higher up the ladder, and not necessarily in a traditional leadership position, things change. Peoples perceptions of you change, information flows change, competitive dynamics amongst peers change, expectations change, the pace changes, and anxieties change. Often, your expertise has been honed on strategy, planning, tactical execution, and objective achievement, and little time has been afforded to understanding yourself and human behaviour better. Executive coaching focuses on accelerating the latter, in a growth-oriented process, that takes place in a professional collaborative relationship.
​
I create a safe, neutral, supportive, constructively challenging, interpretive, and confidential space where we work on your:
-
Cultivating deeper self-awareness and learning to better leverage your unique strengths.
-
Developing conscious, deliberate, effective, and authentic leadership capabilities.
-
Strengthening your self-esteem.
-
Enhancing your ability to navigate complexity, change, and transitions into new roles.
-
Developing better relationships and fostering more meaningful connections.
-
Better understanding human behaviour and underlying motivations.
-
Coming to better navigate organizational and/ or group dynamics.
-
Holding yourself better in challenging situations and better working through personal difficulties.
-
Improving your psychological wellbeing and better managing your anxieties.
-
Finding and developing sustained meaning.
Collectively, these outcomes contribute to building aligned teams, accelerating organizational performance, and achieving your objectives. When done well, this results in a systemic impact.
Client profile
​
The people who decide to partner with me are deeply committed to their journey and intentionally seek to work with an experienced practitioner. Often referred, roughly 15% of my clients come to me with personal growth as their initial objective, the other 75% arrive with something they are trying to work through – To this point:
-
The 15% who proactively invest in their growth are significantly better prepared to navigate the inevitable complexities of life.
-
None express regret in starting their journey. All wished that they had begun sooner, and once they experience the benefits of their process, their commitment to the process is ongoing.
What unites my clients is a desire for deeper self-knowledge, a need to make better sense of their current situation, and a clear intention to move forward purposefully. They represent a diverse spectrum of industries, including accounting, academia, banking, building, consulting, creative fields, education, engineering, IT, legal, manufacturing, mental health care, the medical profession, retail, and the sciences. Often, their pursuit of growth has already involved exploring pop-psychology, engaging in coaching based on elite sports models, some past experience with coaches or therapists, utilizing positive affirmations, and completing various personality assessments. However, despite initial promise, they often remain seeking or have found these approaches insufficient; And this has led them to them to recognize that sustainable growth requires deeper work, over time.
