What is wingwave® Coaching?:  wingwave® coaching is a highly effective short-term coaching method that helps you:

• transform limiting thought and behavioral patterns into self-confidence

What Distinguishes wingwave® Coaching From Other Coaching Techniques?

You might have experienced the following for yourself: Something happens and makes you angry, sad, or irritated or you experience any other kind of unpleasant emotion that just doesn't wear off. At the end of the day, you go to bed and have a good night's sleep. When you wake up the next morning, the unpleasant emotion has faded or even completely disappeared. You feel mentally clear, focused, and calm.   What has happened here?  We possess an innate mental self-healing capacity. While we're sleeping, we go through the so-called REM phase: our eyes go back and forth rapidly. During this phase, our brain is processing all kinds of information and emotions. It's in an optimal, solution-oriented state of creativity.  In wingwave® coaching, we use exactly this natural capacity of yours to process emotions and stress in order to assimilate whatever is bothering you, to intensify positive emotions, and to enhance your skills. Another key to success in wingwave® coaching is that the coaching procedure begins from a precise starting point which is selected in an effective way based on your current physical and emotional needs. Hence the coaching focuses on the areas that most need to be worked on, avoiding any unnecessary "detour."

wingwave® certification:
