Moving Transformation Coaching
Especially for artists and self-employed people
Testimonial: The session had a direct impact on my actions and I already feel enriched in my collaboration with others.
Change is on the horizon ... but you have the feeling you're stuck; you're not moving forward or you're moving forward sluggishly? You ask yourself: How do I get back into the "flow"? How do I access my full potential?
I can offer to creatively accompany you in your transformation process. Through assessment, resource work, and visionary work, together we can clarify: where you’re coming from, where you stand, and where you want to go. We’ll highlight your strengths and abilities as well as explore what alternatives are available to you.
Through our process you will learn a variety of approaches and tools tailored to you. My methods draw from more than 35 years of independent artistic and teaching work, systemic coaching, career coaching and movement analysis in the Laban/Bartenieff/Lamb traditions. Depending on the emerging issues we’ll adapt these methods which are most appropriate for you.
- Systemic coaching is essentially a solution-oriented approach: we first clarify, reflect, and categorize in dialogue with each other your wishes and goals. The questions from systemic coaching enable people to change their perspective and broaden their awareness of alternatives. With this resource-oriented approach we can work out your strengths and re-discover potentials. Furthermore, images and movement can inspire and enrich your vision, which then can be broken-down into concrete steps.
- Career coaching. In this concept, “career” is understood very broadly as the product of an examination of one's career, professional development and personal biography. In most cases, dissatisfaction with the current situation and the desire for change leads to a request for coaching in this area.
Testimonial: I found the coaching sessions with Antja very productive, clarifying and supportive for my professional career planning. In addition, my coaching experiences with her have made me feel more relaxed about my uncertain professional future. In particular, I found her remarkable, respectful and appreciative manner in the for-front of a clarifying meeting in a professional context to be very beneficial. (Translation A. Kennedy)
- In the context of verbal coaching I also offer movement analysis to reveal your somatic markers, found in the foundations of your unique body language. These are named using the Laban/Bartenieff vocabulary and brought into awareness using playful everyday movement scenarios. This physically experiential method of embodiment works profoundly to help reset your creative power.
- Another approach I offer is the "Inner Team", an integration of Embodiment and Systemic Coaching. It’s an “installation” you create in the room where your inner voices may negotiate in a theatrical way, and where you give space to all sides of yourself. These inner aspects are thereby brought into consciousness in order to develop coherent alternatives for your future.
- In some cases, it is relevant to shed light on your unique process of decision making. Here, after prior arrangement, a consultation using the Movement Pattern Analysis (MPA) method can be set up (see below for details). By mapping individual motivations with MPA, not only do you become more aware of your own strengths in decision making, but it becomes more understandable why you get along better with some people and find it more difficult with others.
My coaching sessions are enriched with my experience in artistic creative processes in the preforming arts, teaching courses, workshops, and trainings, and furthermore writing and publishing articles and books. The co-creation of coaching is a tailor-made process to give you the space to open up to alternative possibilities of action in your life. I would be happy to accompany you in your process!
Testimonial: Antja helped me a lot. She formulated the right questions and gave me enough space. She quickly got to the heart of all the issues and then developed a good strategy. She developed a step-by-step plan that was tailored precisely to my needs. I now have a clear path to follow. Overall through her support I felt safe and in good hands. (Translation A. Kennedy)
