Transformational coaching for female career go-getters

Reality Check

So yeah, work is important to you. It gives you purpose, a sense of fulfilment and a structure to develop and be creative. You probably spend much of your time on the job, educating yourself and staying on top of the latest developments in your professional field.

Lately though you have felt tired. Very tired. Continuously tired. It’s as if your battery just doesn’t charge anymore. On top of that, you’ve been feeling aches and pains in your body which cannot be explained. The inspiration and idealism with which you started your work is long gone. You wanted to make a difference in the world. Now it seems all you do is manage egos, do politics or produce data to feed organizational systems. This is not you! You want your energy back. You want your sense of purpose back.

Recognise any of this?

You can’t remember the last time you woke up fully energized and ready to seize the day. Instead, you wake up tired and numb.
You feel chronic and unexplained aches and pains like headaches, lower back pain or stomach pains. You've consulted your doctor a number of times but medical assessments cannot find anything ‘wrong’ with you. Your doctor tells you to ‘rest’ or ‘take it easy’, which frustrates you.
Work drains you. You feel lethargic and it’s as if a cloud has permanently settled in your brain. At the beginning of every week, you tell yourself: ‘this is the week I am going to crash’, but then you manage to get through it. Without any joy or satisfaction.
You often wonder: ‘Am I doing enough? Am I doing the right thing?’ You feel guilty towards your employer when you’re parenting or looking after yourself and you feel guilty towards your family when you’re working.
You long for emotional connection but nowadays conversations with your partner center on the kids’ schedules, who fills the fridge and how to coordinate your busy schedules.
You lie awake at night asking yourself: How long will I keep this up? What’s wrong with my body? Where am I going with this job, this relationship, this … (fill in the blank).

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

Albert Einstein

So how long are you going to keep this up?

If you continue down this path, you will deplete the energy in your battery and end up in a full blown burn out. Being burnt out means being sick. This means you’ll have to take a break from work to go on sick leave. You’ll not be able to take care of your children the way you want to and you’ll never have the same energy levels again, ever. This will affect your career, your family and your personal happiness in life. Your fatigue, your aches and pains are gentle wake up calls. You can wait for the big wake up call, although that one is usually much more dramatic. The choice is yours.

This is what other people say about me

S.C. (52)

Krista’s coaching has been instrumental in helping me navigate a difficult career transition – and come in the process closer to myself and my family. I can only recommend Krista to others who are ready to go on a similar journey!

G.B. (56)

Not only did I reach my goal within the impossible short time we had together, Krista gave me much needed hope and confidence.

J.K. (51)

Krista heeft zij een hoge mate van flexibiliteit, m.n. voor het openstaan en omgaan met veranderingen op persoonlijk en maatschappelijk niveau. Voorts beschikt zij over een groot verantwoordelijkheidsgevoel die haar noodt tot het leveren van maximale kwaliteit in haar handelen.

S.Y. (24)

Krista is calm, understanding, and easily approachable. Through her understanding approach I gained confidence in my abilities and aspirations, and was encouraged to take the next steps in my professional and personal goals.

R.K. (31)

I loved that Krista took the time to patiently guide me through the entire coaching process! Our conversations were wonderful and insightful, and followed by a lot of introspection and re-calibrating on my own. These sessions also helped me be better placed to tackle any challenges I may have in the future.

L.H. (32)

Krista zegt wat ze denkt en waar het op staat. Ze durft zich in het diepe te gooien en uit haar comfort zone te stappen. Hiermee inspireert ze mensen in haar omgeving. In 1-op-1 contact is ze oprecht geinteresseerd en empathisch.

K.J. (51)

Ik kwam bij Krista met een concrete, werkgerelateerde vraag. Gaandeweg de sessies pelden we de vraag terug tot de echte kern en kwam ik tot waardevolle inzichten – over werk maar ook en vooral over mijzelf. Een mooie reis.

A.K. (65)

Krista heeft een weloverwogen en rust uitstralende persoonlijkheid die ruimte geeft aan andere opvattingen, zonder daarbij een moreel oordeel uit te spreken. Via woord en wederwoord wordt getracht tot een ander/beter inzicht te komen en daarbij met de ander een vertrouwensrelatie op te bouwen.
