Observation & Reflection

While all the world sees itself compelled to play us day in, day out in a constant stream of supposed facts, pseudo-scientific findings and self-truths, a coach therfore should take a step back at this point and look at his most excellent qualities and most of all eat “his own dog food”: observation and reflection.

In contrast to all that omniscience out there, of course these are extremely subjective – they are my own thoughts, but they serve more for discussion and as an invitation to dialogue instead of passing on supposedly essential findings and knowledge. All too quickly we allow ourselves to make judgments and evaluations with regard to many things in our daily lives and, of course, in our work. As a consequence, I observe an astonishing degree of unconscious “non-self-awareness” that significantly influences our actions and creates reality.

So Why Is Reflection So Important Now?

As far as I know we live a “VUCA World” in which there is most of the times simply no “right & wrong”or simply “true or false”. This gives a completely new meaning to personal discussion based on feedback, observations and self-knowledge. It will be the essential factor for success in the future – creating awareness through reflection – only then there will be personal growth and success!

In this section I want to dedicated my attetion to mixed topics that I encounter in my daily work as a coach, mentor and advisor. Of course no secrets of companies or persons are revealed here, but rather my thoughts and observations are abstracted and elaborated. Above all I hope that you enjoy reading this content as much as I do writing and thinking about it and of course I am always available for a dialogue.
