I am excited to announce that I have just become a certified Mindvalley Business Coach! 💫 🌈 And what a journey these past months have been! I had the privilege to learn from the most outstanding world class coaches such as @realcoachajit , @elisatidswell and @jpshelfer . During the Supercoach Summit in Tallinn at the end of June I could even meet them personally and get to know part of my cohort – all amazing people with extraordinary backgrounds and experiences who have become my Masterminds and mentors. I could also dive deeper into many topics that will help me being a better entrepreneur (business growth, leadership, culture and management of teams, marketing…) and enable me to accompany others along the way. Supporting female entrepreneurs and professionals has always been a special mission of mine in this respect and I am all the happier that I was immediately given the opportunity to provide career coaching to a group of young women working in international relations… So what are the next steps? I will of course continue my work as passionate communicator and storyteller! But I have now added a new layer and quality to my work, since communication strategies should in an ideal case be aligned with the overall business and organisational strategies. In addition, I am now integrating new concepts such as the Inner Development Goals to complement my work on the Sustainable Development Goals around the world to provide a more holistic service to my clients. So don’t hesitate to reach out if you want to learn more and I look forward to more magic to happen in the months to come. This certificate was definitely just the beginning!! @mindvalley @mindvalley.coach #mindvalley #personalgrowth #idgs #sdgs

We often "want" to be productive and creative, but I learned in these past years that creativity cannot be forced. I usually have the best ideas in the shower, when going for a walk or driving...exactly in those moments when I no longer put any pressure on myself to be efficient or productive. When I let go, my brain starts connecting those parts that were separate before. It is so nice to experience those "Aha"-moments!!:-) #flow #creativity #letgo

I was often asked why our company is called Legado Sharpe & Fischer? Lola Emma Greta Allegra Doro Oli Legado unites all the initials of our family and means legacy in Spanish. What better word could we find for our common project? And obviously Sharpe and Fischer are our surnames:-) Spending quality time together all the six of us is so important and becomes more precious every year with our teenagers seeking more and more their own plans and friends...I just love these two weeks of digital detox, in the here and now and embarking on new adventures together to create key memories for life:-) #holidays #patchworkfamily #workingmum #entrepreneur #coach #roadtrip #family

Back to the roots.... Who would have thought a year ago that I would ever embark on a 5-day trip to Bavaria with my Mum and aunt this summer? The trip meant a lot to me. It gave me the opportunity to (re)connect with my German family to which I hadn't felt very close these past years...share new experiences together and create new memories, while at the same time having the opportunity to find out more about my (grand-)parents past. Being at #peace with your family, your roots, your origin is so important. It opens up space and energy to grow. At the same time I feel deep gratitude to have been able to spend this special time together...Maybe this was a new beginning in many ways? P.S. I became fascinated with the life and death of Ludwig II. during our trip!!;-) #forgiveness #gratitude #manifestation #roots #selfdevelopment #Bavaria #Germany

It's finally time to leave my communication strategies and policy reports behind for a few weeks and start my summer reading list! I can't wait to dive deeper into Dr. Joe Dispenza's Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself in preparation of my 4-day retreat in Paris in October, to continue my learning curve as a business coach and to also brush up my financial skills by skimming through Tony Robbins latest book on investing. And not to forget: some nice German magazines on flow, yoga, recipes to get really into the summer groove!! So what's on your #summerreadinglist this year? #booklover #reading #summertime #mentalbreak

How to overcome your stage fright as a musician.... This week I finally did it! My first concert as a singer- guitarist accompanied by my great teacher @gilbertastico and encouraged by @sung_cassette_ and @salsa_verdefood_truck This has been on my mind for more than two years now but I always felt I am not good enough, a typical self-sabotage situation... So what did I do to overcome this? - I made a plan to give a concert to friends and family and I decided on a date (combining it with our annual summer gathering = perfect moment) - I spoke with other musicians/artists like @mariozamora.photo and realised that we all have feelings of never being good enough - I bought a dress and started visualising myself wearing that dress in the concert. I could see myself and feel the vibration although it was only in my mind! - I had a dream about the title of the concert ("Into the light") and started to design my playlist - Important: start with an easy song first to win your audience. In my case it was the Smiths' "There is a light that never goes out" to which I attach a lot of memories and stories - I thought of some storytelling to connect the songs, this was no effort, it just flew naturally - I practiced and practiced in every guitar lesson about 6 weeks prior to the concert and whenever I found a moment (sometimes more, sometimes less...but no guilt on this side) So what's the result? I feel a great sensation of satisfaction and in the end it didn't matter at all how many people were in the audience, who was in the audience...The most important thing was that I had overcome my inner saboteur! And one of the most moving moments was to see that some people had tears in their eyes while I was playing (from the heart), a moment of deep connection.:-) P.S.: It is also funny: I am used to speaking on stage as a communications expert, moderator or trainer, but when it came to playing the guitar, I always felt that my fingers would "freeze" once on stage! #selfsabotage #music #stagefright #guitarplayer #singersongwriter #selfdevelopment
