Beschreibung

In dieser Folge von „The Making of a Coach“ coacht Dr. Jasmin Messerschmidt Tobi live und zeigt, wie sich Arbeit mit Bildern und somatische Marker wirkungsvoll in Coachingprozesse integrieren lassen. Jasmin gibt Einblicke in das Zürcher Ressourcen Modell (ZRM) – eine Verbindung aus Motivationspsychologie und Neurowissenschaft – und wie es Klient:innen stärkt, selbstgewählte Ziele zu erreichen. Wir sprechen über Embodiment im Coaching und darüber, warum es für nachhaltige Veränderung entscheidend ist, Unbewusstes und Bewusstes in Einklang zu bringen.

Key Learnings

• Bildarbeit im Coaching einsetzen, um Bewusstes und Unbewusstes zu verbinden – für mehr Klarheit und Fokus in der Sitzung.
• Somatische Marker nutzen, um Körpersensationen und emotionale Reaktionen wahrzunehmen und so Selbstwahrnehmung zu vertiefen.
• Das ZRM anwenden, um strukturierte Selbstmanagement-Strategien zu entwickeln, mit denen Klient:innen ihre Ziele eigenständig verfolgen.
