Make Your

Transition

There will come a time in your life when you will ask yourself a series of questions…

Am I happy with who I am?

Am I happy with the people around me?

Am I happy with what I'm doing?

Am I happy with the way my life is going?

Do I have a life? 
Or am I just living?


These questions taken from Underground Resistance's 'Transition' have been a light post during my career, and guide my creative coaching practice today.  

Imagine building a life that resonates with your true self––living and working on your terms, free from the constraints of unfulfilling routines and societal expectations. Imagine busyness is replaced by harmony, where work is an extension of your passions and your purpose is not just your aspiration but also your reality. Together we will bring you closer to your dream life, day by day.

The Approach

Across 6 weekly or bi-weekly individualised sessions, I’ll provide a supportive coaching framework tailored to your own needs. I observe, reflect and ask questions with curiosity and without judgement, providing you with the conditions for insight to arrive. This will be an environment where you will learn how to listen and respond to your intuition, while learning how to distinguish the wisdom and clarity of your inner voice from the noise of your inner critic. As you learn how to tune into physiological and psychological cues, my coaching will guide you to feel comfortable delving into your ambitions without judgement. By recognizing, allowing, investigating, and nurturing all that is present within, we start the process of inner transformation. 

The Outcome

Coaching is a commitment to yourself, and how you show up in the world. It’s a process consisting of clarifying your intentions, designing goals, and taking authentic action within a safe, supportive relationship. It’s an investment of time and energy into breaking patterns and habits that no longer serve you, releasing blockages in order to step into your power, and become the person you know you are deep down. Working from the inside out, I’ll help you reconnect to your intuition and fulfill your potential.

The Process

Each process I enter with a client is different. It ranges from exploring deeply personal questions and doubts, to practical and hands-on work with regards to your personal everyday life, career, or artistic practice, and beyond. Step-by-step, we’ll unpack and untangle nuanced issues, often by changing your perspective. After each session, I’ll provide you with prompts, reflective questions, listening and reading recommendations, meditations, exercises, or a mix of all of the above.

Do not let these questions restrain or trouble you

Just point yourself in the direction of your dreams

Find your strength in the sound

And make your transition

  • Olaf’s coaching has proven to be exactly what I needed to align my personal values to some business crossroads that I had been struggling with. From giving feedback and advice as an expert in my line of work to being able to help me reflect and ask the right questions on a more existential level. Olaf’s observations and guidance have proven to be very valuable for moving forward in business and life decisions.

  • There are moments in your life where you feel like you're standing in front of a big door, but you don't know exactly how to open that door. The moment when you ask for help from a person who can guide you through it is a very vulnerable one. Such was the moment in my career when Olaf crossed my path. He helped me open a door, and then looked at the different rooms with me. And, Olaf left it to me to choose where I need to be. I couldn't imagine a better creative partner and coach than Olaf – his insights, open questions, and sincerity have given me a lot. Opening that door was extremely difficult for me, but I know that it brought me exactly to where I needed to be.

  • Working and reflecting alongside Olaf has been a true gift of resonance and alignment, not only for his professional and accurate approach as a coach, but also for his sensitivity and capacity for deep listening. I started my mentoring journey feeling disoriented, and uncertain about my goals and objectives. After a few sessions, with the help of meaningful assignments and self-reflection, I began to notice significant improvements, and grew more confident in my envisioned projects. I have deep gratitude for his presence and integrity as a mentor.

  • After working in the asset management industry for 23 years, it was time for a change. Determining what makes me tick, and finding my core values and strengths, turned out to be a tough job. Thanks to Olaf’s persistence, knowledge, and patience, I was able to answer these questions, and translate this into a potential new career. Without Olaf’s help, I would probably still be stuck in a loop.

  • For anyone who seeks guidance within the cultural field, Olaf is the right person to go to. Authentic, introspective, and backed up by a broad spectrum of experience within the field. Whether you are pursuing an artistic path or business goal, I believe the approach from Olaf will make you grow.
