das Rad mentaler ausgeglichenheit

zweck

Der Hauptzweck des „Rads mentaler Ausgeglichenheit“  besteht darin, das geistige Gleichgewicht und mentale Widerstandskraft (Resilienz) in einem modernen Kontext zu entwickeln. Es verbindet Techniken und Methoden aus klassischen buddhistischen Texten und zieht daraus Nutzen in praktischen Anwendungen, ohne die Quellen zu schmälern. Obschon das Rad mentaler Ausgeglichenheit auf traditionellen Meditationsmethoden beruht, bezieht es Einsichten aus der neuesten neurowissenschaftlichen und klinischen Forschung mit ein und baut darauf auf. 

GEISTIGE AUSGEGLICHENHEIT

Das Rad mentaler Ausgeglichenheit umfasst drei Bereiche geistiger Aktivität: Aufmerksamkeit, Wahrnehmung und affektive Aspekte. Um geistige Ausgeglichenheit zu erreichen, muss jeder dieser drei Bereiche unserer Geisteswelt erforscht, verstanden und, wenn immer möglich, gut angepasst werden. Das Programm ist derart aufgebaut, dass jeder Aspekt mit spezifischen Übungen getrennt angegangen wird. Dies hilft uns, besser zu verstehen, wie unsere geistigen Prozesse ablaufen, zu erkennen, wenn sie aus dem Gleichgewicht geraten sind, und wie wir sie wieder ins Gleichgewicht bringen können. Das Rad der mentalen Ausgeglichenheit bietet uns das Instrumentarium, mit dem wir unser geistiges Gleichgewicht schaffen und erhalten können. Die moderne wissenschaftliche Forschung hat vier Komponenten bestimmt, die für unser Wohlbefinden unerlässlich sind: Flexibilität/Resilienz und die Fähigkeit, sich von einem Rückschlag zu erholen; eine positive Einstellung; Grosszügigkeit; sowie Achtsamkeit und die Fähigkeit, die Aufmerksamkeit gezielt zu lenken.

das Rad der mentalen ausgeglichenheit

Die Unterweisungen im Rahmen des Rads mentaler Ausgeglichenheit beinhalten Methoden zur Stärkung dieser vier Elemente des Wohlbefindens und zielen darauf hin, die ursprüngliche Anwendung der Achtsamkeit aus dem buddhisti­schen Rahmen heraus in einen breiteren, säkularen Kontext zu bringen, um so zu einem tieferen Sinnverständnis zu gelangen, um die mentale Ausgeglichenheit zu erfahren und die Schönheit und den Zauber des Lebens wahrzunehmen.

Es basiert auf einem tiefgreifenden Konzeptrahmen und stellt eine Sammlung praktischer Methoden dar, die bewährte Techniken anwenden mit dem einzigen Zweck, uns inmitten unseres Alltags zu ermöglichen, mentale Ausgeglichenheit zu finden und Hindernisse zu überwinden. Es beinhaltet bewährte, ausgereifte Techniken, erweitert aber das Spektrum der Anwendung der Achtsamkeit in Richtung kritische, wichtige Faktoren der Geisteswelt, wie zum Beispiel Enthusiasmus, Freude, innere Ruhe, Konzentration, Gelassenheit, Wohlwollen (liebende Güte), Mitgefühl, Ethik und Weisheit.

Meditations Module

Das Rad mentaler Ausgeglichenheit lässt sich in verschiedenen Modulen vermitteln, je nach verfügbarer Zeit und wie tief sich die Teilnehmer in das Thema einlassen wollen: ein Tag, zwei Tage, drei Tage, fünf Tage oder ver­teilt über 10 Wochen.

Alle Module basieren entweder auf der Aufmerksamkeit, Wahrnehmung, oder affektiver Übung, und jede Unterweisung schliesst mit dem Einschluss aller drei Aspekte der Praxis und der Übung ab.

Jede Unterweisung beinhaltet einen theoretischen Teil, gefolgt von dessen praktischer Anwendung. Die ersten Übungen sind darauf ausgelegt, den Geist zu stabilisieren, dann sollen die kognitive Wahrnehmung und die Achtsamkeit gestärkt werden, und zum Schluss soll die affektive Fähigkeit durch die Entwicklung von Mitgefühl und Wohlwollen verbessert  werden.

Coaching:

(Beschrieb in Englisch - ich kann aber je nach Wunsch in Englisch, Deutsch, Französisch, Spanisch und Italienisch arbeiten).

Coaching is the partnering with clients in a thought-provoking, creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potentials. It is a change process intentionally designed to support the client to achieve particular outcomes they have chosen. Personal or team coaching is a way to empower individuals to identify and implement action steps to reach their goals in a safe, ethical environment and with integrity. 

Over the years, I have trained and have achieved MCC (Master Certified Coach) level certification, and been certified in many methodologies such as:

Life Coaching:

Individuals engage in all sorts of activities in order to manifest their inner hopes and potentials – in the hope to achieve fulfilment, mental balance and joy.

Using the Co-Active coaching model, clients learn to identify their personal fulfilment goals, values, saboteurs, and their inner leadership and allies. Using the 3 Principles of Fulfilment, Balance and Process, the client is held to and supported by the coach to evoke transformation, deepening the learning and forward the action. Combining an extensive knowledge of positive psychology with management tools and personal experience makes the engagement in the coaching relationship fun and highly beneficial.

SPORT AND PERFORMANCE COACHING:

What is the commonality between Mind Training and Sport?

To improve performance and success, one needs to cultivate an appropriate training.

It is my conviction - and personal experience - that high-level sustainable performance in any discipline (sports, business, work, family, and personal flourishing) depend on mental preparation and a healthy mind. Like basketball great Michael Jordan said:

“The minute you get away from fundamentals – whether it’s proper technique, work ethic or mental preparation – the bottom can fall out of your game, your schoolwork, your job, whatever you’re doing.”

Current neuro- and clinical-science irrevocably point to the fact that mental health is a skill that can be learned with proper training – like physical fitness, we can speak about mental fitness. Both physical and mental wellbeing depend on an appropriate training.

With my long career and profound personal experience in mind training and sports, I use different methods and suitable tools to translate my keen interest in performance and meditation (a specific training for the mind), making them available to my clients. As a coach and teacher, I emphasise the need to gain insights from personal experience and ongoing practice in order to be able to teach and coach others. WALK THE TALK. (Would you go to a dentist who just talks about it, but has not practiced?)

Both meditation and sport have a commonality, and it is no coincidence that even the Buddha emphasized the importance of endurance:

 “Endurance is one of the most difficult disciplines, but it is to the one who endures that the final victory comes.”
― Gautama Buddha

I offer following performance specific coaching:

• Mental and physical components of performance

• Embodied approach to wellbeing

• How to prepare the mind in view of upcoming challenges

• Guiding sabotaging inner chatter

• How to recover from failure or frustration

• How to activate your motivational systems

Mentale Fitness und Positive Intelligenz:

Ein Schlüssel zur mentalen Fitness besteht darin, die internen Saboteure zu schwächen, die all Ihre „Negativität“ in der Art und Weise erzeugen, wie sie auf Herausforderungen reagieren. Ihre Saboteure verursachen all Ihren Stress, Ihre Angst, Ihren Selbstzweifel, Ihre Frustration, Ihr Bedauern, Ihre Scham, Ihre Schuld und Ihr Unglück. Saboteure sind der Richter, Controller, Avoider, Victim, Stickler und 5 andere.

Ihr „Weiser“ lebt in einer ganz anderen Region Ihres Gehirns und bewältigt Herausforderungen auf eine Weise, die positive Emotionen wie Neugier, Empathie, Kreativität, Ruhe und klares laserorientiertes Handeln hervorruft. Als Folge davon erbringen sie eine bessere Leistung und fühlen sich glücklicher.

Basierend auf einer Synthese der jüngsten Durchbrüche in den Bereichen Neurowissenschaften, kognitive und positive Psychologie sowie Leistungswissenschaft können Sie mit Positive Intelligence die drei mentalen Kernmuskeln aufbauen, die Ihre mentale Fitness ausmachen: Saboteur Abfang Muskel, Weise Muskel und der Selbst-Command Muskel.

Team Coaching:

Teams exist to produce results. They are more than a collection of individuals, they are a living system. The greatest leverage for productivity is at the team level, and sustainability is equally important to the organization as results are achieved.

When teams are healthy, they are high performing, productive and sustainable; if they are not healthy, they are a source of much pain and can block results.

What are the conditions necessary for teams to excel? Competencies that support a team’s ability to produce results are the Productivity continuum; competencies that create an engaged and sustainable environment are the Positivity continuum.

Both of these continuums can be measured, and provide an objective assessment of the team. The following team coaching work is based on developing the existing strengths together with the transformation and development of qualities at the low end of the spectrum towards High Productivity, High Positivity, and team development. 

ORSC (Organization Relationship Systems Coaching):

No person is independent: we are all part of complex systems such as our families, business partnerships, teams and communities. Relationship Systems Coaching is different from individual coaching. A system is composed of many parts, yet the sum is greater than those parts. The parts are always in an interdependent relationship with other parts, including its emotional, social and relationship intelligences. This type of work has one primary job: to reveal the system to itself. By helping the system to see itself – its strengths, its obstacles, its potential – the coach can create the conditions for the system to find its own answers.

BRAIN BASED COACHING:

Performance and Result Oriented Coaching for Individuals and Teams. By applying cutting-edge research-based tools and skills, Brain Based Coaching will help you to effectively reach results more quickly within the workplace or private practice. As a certified Brain Based Coach, I help you adopt effective, science-based strategies to help you develop new habits, skills, and behaviours.

THE LEADERSHIP CIRCLE (TLC):

An assessment tool that reveals reactive patterns in leaders and teams - and a methodology to move towards more creative engagement, relationships, self-awareness, authenticity, and achievements.

THE NEUROSCIENCE OF CHANGE:

Neuroscience fundamentally changed the way to coach. Sometimes the changes happen before our eyes, at other times we feel like nothing shifts: we now are beginning to understand why. Through decades of revolutionary research, neuroscience can tell us what happens in the brain and body when different coaching techniques are used:

• We now know why and how some traditional coaching techniques actually inhibit change, and what we can do instead.

• We now understand the neural states that are most conducive to deep intuition and clarity, so we can consistently create breakthrough sessions with your clients

• I equipped my coaching toolbox with techniques validated by neuroscientific research, so I can create positive change in each person I work with

 ACE (ACCELERATING COACH EXCELLENCE):

An active and immersive training program by leading corporate coach David Peterson (Director of Executive Coaching and Leadership at Google) and David Goldsmith (Coaching Pioneer, co-founder of the Institute of Coaching at Harvard).

The ACE program allowed me to move from being a good coach to become a great coach by delivering greater impact in less time (more Value per Minute) - even for the most challenging clients. Better coaching means also better results - irrespective if they are individuals or corporations. Nobody wants to waste their precious time and resources.

RED TEAM COACHING

Red Teaming provides the specific tools and a reliable process to continuously improve your management system and business plan to adapt and thrive in our rapidly changing world.

Red Team Thinking is a method that improves decision making in a volatile, uncertain, chaotic, ambiguous, and hyper-connected world (VUCAH). It is a systematic way of making critical and contrarian thinking part of the strategic planning process of any personal development or organization. It provides a robust set of tools designed to challenge your assumptions, expose hidden threats, identify missed opportunities, and stress-test your plans and strategies.

These techniques help you think differently about you, or your business, and consider the unintended consequences of your actions. In the context of business, they let you see how customers, competitors, and other key constituencies will react to moves you make in the marketplace before you make them. They can also show you how to turn disruptive events to your advantage. With Red Team Thinking, you can stay relevant, keep ahead of  your competition, and cope with an increasingly uncertain world.
