I wasn’t sure whether the alchemy between coach and coachee would be possible. I knew I’d show my vulnerable spots and bring personal topics – so trust is essential.
Sabine embraces even heavy and messy topics with grace. Her active listening, her cheering tone and serious empathy helped me sort through unsorted thoughts and emotions – and always see light at the end of the tunnel.
What measurable and/or tangible results did I achieve through the coaching?
I left each session with relief and a sense of brighter tomorrows. I started looking forward to them like wellness appointments. Over time, I began to accept my leadership style – working on the strengths and embracing the imperfections. The techniques we developed became part of my management practice.
What did I appreciate most about working together? Was there anything that stood out to me in particular?
If I had to chose only one thing I love in our collaboration (and God knows there are so many!), it would be the grace with which you embrace the heavy and messy subjects I bring to our sessions. You use your active listening to guide me through my unsorted thoughts and emotions. Your cheering tone combined with your serious empathy, help me relativising the issue and seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I am sure this grace hides a long experience and an intensive focus on the person and the topic. But for me as the coachee, it seems light like a feather, seamless.
With Sabine at my side, I found a wholesome support. I could talk about work – and how it connects to life. I’m becoming a better manager, colleague and person.
