I came to Kristine to unblock some patterns that I had been building over my life that were the main obstacle to achieving something bigger in what felt like a small career I am in. I have learned two main things: how to manage my inner negative voices that stop me from doing great things NOW, and how to redirect my mind toward goal-driven, conscious planning for my NOW and future, while keeping my emotions and well-being in check. I have had many intense conversations with Kristine, and she has managed to maintain a high level of toughness to challenge me and make me be honest and accountable, while being incredibly soft, kind, and embracing. I can’t recommend Kristine enough. I am very sad the coaching has ended, but I hope I will have more opportunities to reconnect with her and get more of her wisdom!

How to summarize my journey with Kristine...

I have learned so much during our sessions and I am still working hard on myself but:

• I am way more positive than before

• I do not see new challenge anymore as 'I will not be able to do that',  instead I always say ' I will do my best…'

• I am not letting the workload stressing me (that much)... work in progress here

• I am receiving a lot of positive feedback, they all say, that I changed a lot for the better

• I can raise my hand and show that it is too much without thinking (too much) that I will appear weak. My new favorite word: showing VULNERABILITY. I learned to tell how I feel

• I am doing really good in my new position, I am learning new things and I like that a lot. I even got a raise because of the good development and hard work I made in the last months

• I enjoy new adventures and don`t create all the scenarios with : but what if? Okay,  there are some exceptions s till but I am working on them

Of course, there are also bad days but they do not weight that much as they did before. So I take my time to be angry or sad, but I move forward much quicker as before. And I see the good!

So yes.. what I wanted to say is THANK YOU! For showing me how to live on the sunny side of the life! For teaching me how to enjoy the view of this ride we call life.

You really helped me to feel lighter and be more in peace with myself… you  guided me towards the good parts of the life.

I am really happy that I got the chance to meet you and that you had such a positive impact on my life.

So thank you one more time!

I wasn't unhappy but felt like I could do better, when I came to Kristine. I was stuck and wanted help in creating an action plan. But Kristine saw right through me - I didn't get what I wanted, but rather what I needed. She helped me to make an honest inventory of my life. As a result, I felt more appreciation for what was good already, and more empowered to make the right changes due to increased clarity about what is meaningful to me. Visualizations used by Kristine, were very helpful to bypass thinking patterns from the past and discovering my deeper strengths and wishes. I also realized, how some of the old unconscious strategies were blocking me from moving forward, in work and life. Some realizations led to immediate changes in my daily behaviors, resulting in more satisfying relationships in general and more productive collaborations at work.

Thanks to Kristine's insightful guidance, I am now generally contented with my life and excited about what I can bring about in the future, guided by further exploration of my life purpose.

Kristine guided me through a process that was both practical, creative and, at times, challenging in order to move forward in my life, both professionally and personally.  She helped me to draw on inner resources and perspectives I didn't know I had.  What I treasured especially about Kristine was the combination of her well-developed, critical thinking skills plus her emotional sensitivity and intelligence.  As someone seeking to return to an area of work after a career break, I benefited greatly from her insight into the jobs market in Switzerland and the recruitment process.  After a long period of underemployment, I have found a permanent position, and working with Kristine, is a key part of why this happened.
