It's high time to become your own true best friend.

I will be by your side, step by step, in recognizing and achieving your goals.

YOU

Does this sound like you?

You're creative

You like to challenge yourself and your thinking

You have high expectations of yourself

You are successful in many areas of your life

And yet, you yearn for a deeper success

For a life that truly suits you

You want to be free of your perceived limitations

And to be more carefree?

Then you're in the right place!


THINGS THAT COULD STAND IN YOUR WAY

Perfectionism

You procrastinate

You feel trapped in the hamster wheel

You're afraid to give up what has given you security so far

You're tired of having to start over and over again with happiness

You feel like you're not living up to your full potential, but you don't exactly know what's holding you back

At work, you're a talented problem solver, but outside of work, you tend to neglect things, like taxes, relationships, your own health




ME

Descriptive Image Text
I love what I do because I work with inspiring people who are passionate about living their full potential.

When someone asked me what qualifies me to work as a coach, I answered that - first of all - I have built a beautiful and happy life for myself, one that suits me perfectly. But it wasn't always like this…

Between the ages of 20 and 38, I had self-doubt and professional difficulties. I was afraid of the finiteness of life and at the same time, of life itself.

To the outside world, I appeared confident, successful, and happy, but I wasn't.

As my discomfort continued to escalate, the inevitable breakdown followed. Fortunately, I then had a revelation that shook me up and enabled me to experience the crisis as a new beginning. From that moment on, I began to take responsibility for myself and my happiness and in an intensive process I was able to overcome my problems. This profound process of transformation within me has been the initiation to guide other people on their path - self-assured and full of confidence.

Before my work as a coach, I worked for 15 years as a portrait photographer. It has always been a joy for me to work with people face to face, based on trust, mutual interest, and creativity. But after this severe crisis/at this new beginning, I changed my professional direction. I started my career as a coach. After my training with the "Order Icon" Carola Böhmig, I learned a lot in the subsequent years as a coach for order, structure, and clarity, and was able to witness the most astonishing and touching transformations in my clients and their lives. The path from chaos to order is life-changing - and remains an element in my coaching practice. Over time, I became more and more aware that I wanted to delve deeper and more comprehensively into being able to cultivate personal development and success and happiness in all their facets. To learn additional skills and tools, I then underwent my training with Prof. Dr. Manuel Tusch (IFAP), a very successful coach and coach trainer. I am very grateful to have gotten to know his positive and result-oriented systemic coaching approach. Together with my other qualifications and experiences, it forms a solid foundation for my work with my clients.

I am convinced of the positive effect and the power that coaching can have. I have seen the profound impacts it had on my clients and experienced it myself in the role of the client.

Coaching

THE BEST COACHINGS I HAVE EXPERIENCED IN MY LIFE HAD THE FOLLOWING IN COMMON

I have plenty of time to develop my thoughts and to listen to myself

The coach listens patiently and attentively, without formulating premature conclusions

I am asked interested and interesting questions

My ways of thinking and beliefs are challenged and checked in various ways

The coach does not try to instruct or guide me - only when I ask

I come into contact with my own blind spots – it's sometimes painful, but that's what it's all about

I feel that the coach does not judge, but - on the contrary - provides a protected framework

I am given a lot of space in which possible insights can unfold

The coach accepts where I am at the moment and accompanies me on my journey and at my pace to my truth and solution

I specify in detail the next steps to achieve what I have clearly set as my goal

I know that my coach supports me until my goal is reached


I will do my best to be this coach for you.


Detours expand local knowledge

Detours expand local knowledge is a German saying that alludes to the possibility of getting a better overview and a better understanding of my location and situation through detours than if I took the direct route. This applies to both the outer and the inner world.

Sometimes one is simply unable to see the next step. And a lot one already knows - theoretically. One knows what is good for oneself, knows the right approach and has even already made plans. Nevertheless, theory is often not put into practice. One stands in one's own way. But how to bypass oneself? Impossible! So the solution always lies within me.

My coaching approach is about tackling a topic in a holistic and systemic way. Both mean not to look at various areas of life such as profession, family, hobbies and spirituality exclusively separately from each other, but to potentially integrate all systems of life or all roles one takes in life into the solution path. Holistic also means - if necessary - to go deep and to look at aspects that do not seem to play a role on the outside.

The expanded viewing, the probing of detours, enables a better understanding of oneself. Because before a change, it is always necessary to perceive oneself more fundamentally. One's own needs that have been buried for a long time, fundamental values that are constantly overlooked, fears that have seemingly become part of our identity, want to come to light. Coaching provides this space. In the light of self-perception, internal conflicts dissolve and blockages disappear. Buried potentials are released again and paths become easy to walk.

The practical solution then only needs a little methodological knowledge and support for a certain time and everything flows naturally. 

If you feel addressed here, I offer my solution-oriented support for professional and private challenges and wishes. We work at eye level at your pace with creativity, empathy and efficiency. You are the expert for your life and the topics that concern you and I am the expert for the process and the structure.

If you want to work with me or have further questions about my working methods, feel free to send me an email.




process

I structure both my 90-minute sessions and the entire course of coaching based on the COACH - model by Rauen & Steinhübel, which divides the coaching process into five phases:

  1. Come Together

    We get to know each other, and the fit and benefit of the coaching are clarified.

  2. Orientation

    You have plenty of time to describe your situation and formulate your goals.

  3. Analysis

    This phase focuses on a detailed examination of the matter at hand, including the surrounding environment. Effective changes are initiated with the help of questions and tools.

  4. Change

    Visible changes are addressed and advanced, building on the previous phases.

  5. Harbour

    Review of goal achievement as well as the entire approach. The coaching is formally concluded while discussing the next steps for your further development.

I have found that this process has worked well across a wide range of clients and I know it can work for you.


Testimonials

  • “I approached Lena because I felt stuck on two personal projects/questions and my thoughts were going in circles. With her open, empathetic and structured way, she helped me to question myself and to take other perspectives. This has triggered sustained thought processes that have helped me to explore and address the real causes. Since the talks, it has been much easier for me to take the next steps that will help solve the problem. These positive feelings now make it easier to maintain my motivation. Since then I've felt more relaxed, have a more positive mood and pay more attention to what's good for me." S.M.

  • "The coaching with Lena Böhm was great. We had four sessions that I could easily do with her via Zoom. I had the desire to develop professionally because I wasn't happy in my job. At first I thought that I was only doing further trainings and would find my way in another area of the company. What can I say? I quit my job and will now pursue my passion in the interior design sector. I'm super happy because Lena, with her many tools, inspired me in a very gentle way, accompanied me and made me think. My decision to pursue a new professional path was much clearer after the coaching and I felt lighter. I thank Lena very much for the professional coaching and would contact her again at any time for other topics." C.F.

  • “My thanks to Lena! It's hard to believe what we can do in just THREE coaching sessions! With Lena's incredibly empathetic and competent support I was able to uncover old beliefs, say goodbye to them and replace them with new, more loving and appreciative ones. I gained a lot of new insights about myself and old, deep-seated conflicts. This has contributed to the fact that my quality of life has improved significantly. I can fully recommend Lena and her coaching! Thanks to her appreciative manner, I always felt that I was in very good hands. Everything was coherent and at eye level and also very solution-oriented.

    With lots of respect and a big THANK YOU!” A.K.

  • "Thanks to the coaching sessions with Lena, I was able to evolve from a less than ideal situation and refine what genuinely matters to me. By using a variety of methods and tools, we produced results that significantly moved me forward. Lena coaches in a very professional manner and always without judgment, an aspect I greatly appreciated. I felt comfortable and secure during every moment of each session - this is crucial, as it allows the mind to function optimally, making the coaching truly effective. If I ever find myself needing external advice or assistance in my development again, I will definitely reach out to her, and I wholeheartedly recommend her." F.T.

  • "I have had two coaching sessions with Lena, once to prepare for a job interview, and another to make a decision on whether to accept a job offer or not. The conversations with her brought me a lot of clarity. I went into the interview more relaxed and was able to show who I really am and what I can do, without being intimidated by the situation. I did get a job, although it was only my Plan B. To consider whether the perceived obstacles associated with this job could be reconciled with my life and my family's, we had a second coaching session. After that, I clearly felt that I wanted to accept the job and I was immensely relieved.

    Lena has a wonderful empathetic way about her. She engages with you without passing judgment, asks important questions, and gently provides suggestions when you're stuck in a thought cul-de-sac. I can recommend Lena as a coach without reservation!" R.H.

  • "With Lena as a coach, I was able to have very special experiences. Although I didn't know Lena beforehand, I was taken seriously from the start and felt very warmly welcomed. With Lena you have a coach who really wants to provide support and she has accompanied me very well on my way. I am fortunate that our conversations and her timely questions opened my eyes and I finally managed to follow the path that corresponds to my heart. Thank you dear Lena. I would be happy to come back anytime and wish you every success from the bottom of my heart!” M.W.

  • "Dear Mrs. Böhm, I want to tell you that I found our conversation to be very, very good. I now have a much better feeling for the situation and for myself - Thank you for making that possible! I realize now that the situation is good for me as it is. I have gained more distance and with your help, I took the time I needed. The sadness and heaviness in my stomach are getting better.

    The oven effect 😁". M.K.

  • "I found the coaching sessions with Lena very helpful. She assisted me in gaining a different perspective on certain situations, through various exercises as well as through empathetic listening and non-judgmental reflection of my own statements. I felt understood at all times, and although we had not met personally before, I felt that I could entrust her with stories from various life situations. Her exercises helped me connect different aspects and understand situations that I, on my own, could only partially make sense of." S.G.

  • "The coaching began at a phase in my life when I could only react to events. As the coaching progressed, I developed the feeling of being able to take action again. I can actively shape my life and establish a balance between work and family myself." A.A.

  • "Lena was recommended to me as a coach, and that's how I came to know her. Everything I was told about her, I can fully confirm! She is very professional and trustworthy! She catered to me individually, to my needs and desires. I was able to open up to her immediately and work on my goals with motivation. She never pushed anything on me and accompanied me at my own pace. What I have been able to accomplish through her, I have consistently integrated into my everyday life. She has brought about a positive change in my life and I am deeply grateful to her for it! I can recommend her with a clear conscience!" S.R.

  • "The coaching with Lena was a very enriching experience for me. Her friendly and open nature quickly created a pleasant and trusting atmosphere. The sessions were very goal-oriented and tailored to my needs. I particularly benefited from Lena's flexibility, especially when it came to the selection of session topics. She showed me ways in which I can manage to focus on my own resources and take better care of myself with simple means.

    Thank you for that!" C.M.

  • “Lena's professionalism, empathy and expertise have influenced my issues in a positive way and I am grateful for the experiences I have had through her support. She has the ability to create a trusting atmosphere in which you can fully open up and talk honestly about your challenges. She carefully addresses individual needs and develops tailor-made coaching methods that are aligned with personal goals in order to achieve the best possible results. Her extensive knowledge in all areas is evident in the sessions, which are always well-organized and effective.

    I can wholeheartedly recommend Lena as a coach. 'Her dedication, wisdom, and empathetic nature make her a standout in her field. Anyone seeking professional coaching that offers not only results but also profound personal transformation will find themselves in the best hands with her." M.G.

  • “From the very first coaching session, I felt extremely at ease with Lena. Her friendly, calm, clear, and warm-hearted approach made it effortless for me to open up and trust her. Throughout the coaching process, there were numerous "aha" moments and magical instances that fundamentally altered my mindset and perspective, offering an entirely new understanding of behaviors and situations. Lena is a professional game changer and a wonderful person.

    Thank you sincerely, Lena! Without a doubt, I wholeheartedly recommend her and would gladly seek her guidance again and again.” G.K.

  • I felt totally comfortable in Lena's coaching sessions, both in individual and group coaching. She creates a really pleasant and warm atmosphere in which you immediately feel like you're in good hands. I particularly like her meditation sessions. They are just super relaxing and allow you to really calm down. I can really recommend Lena's coaching to anyone who is looking for inner peace and personal growth.

    Thank you, Lena, for this great experience! A.S.

  • I have had two sessions with Lena so far and the experience was very good. In the 3.5 hours we worked on my questions using different methods. I left both times with a very good feeling and practical solutions. Working with Lena really helped me make decisions without her having to give me specific advice. I would definitely be happy to turn to Lena again when I am faced with the next challenging situation! S.S.

Why ‘Full Circle’?

The full circle stands for several positive symbols; it is a symbol of abundance and wholeness, a symbol of perfection. And in my coaching practice, it is also a symbol for bringing things to completion.  An open circle, on the other hand, is synonymous with bound energy. Bound in the action that I have started. I hang in the balance, the process has started. One could also simply call this life. But after a while, if I don't close the circles again, the open circles - the unfinished things - become a burden. They tire and unsettle me and rob me of energy, joy and peace in the present moment. To bring order, clarity and creativity into my life, I close open circles - one after the other - and only open new circles if I can close them again in a timely and thoroughly satisfying way. If I consciously bring the Full Circle "rule" into my life and follow it, my scattering and my lethargy diminish and I reach more inner stability and harmony. Serenity and satisfaction return.
