VISIONFINDER 35+

Executive in hospital - getting out of a midlife crisis.

When I decided to participate in the VISIONFINDER program with Heike, I was in a very difficult private and professional situation, I can say in a midlife crisis. I got divorced and in the same time I had to make important career decisions.

With a lot of patience, empathy and still a certain amount of getting challenged, Heike helped me a lot to finally explore my professional and private priorities. The sessions with her were very exciting, instructive and sometimes very touching. She helped me a lot with her professional and human competence. Much has developed in the right direction since then. 

I can recommend the Visionsmanufaktur and VisionCoachings with Heike to anyone who is currently in a crisis or interested in his or her further development, be it personally or professionally!

Professional re-orientation due to a restructuring program.

Thanks to Heike I have again better clarity, structure and self-discovery in my private life as well in my further professional career. During the coaching we worked out together my heart’s desires, especially in my professional field. I (re)learnt very valuable tools to recognize (again) my strenghts, values and abilities.

Through Heike I got to know different approaches to make the change I wanted to have in my life happen in a target-oriented and autonomous way. Heike has always encouraged me. The VISIONSFINDER program is an individual and very intensive coaching program, where I was guided with a lot of empathy and dedication. Of course, my cooperation to achieve and realize my dreams, desires and goals was essential.

Creating new visions for the „Golden Age“ phase.

Heike helped me a lot to guide me through my inner chaos: I got clarity I’m doing the job I love. I got aware about my desires and strengths as a woman and to take more care for myself. I learnt to let go the old so that the new can come in. I felt much relief, inner peace and a new form of freedom.

Leaving an unhappy job to know what she really wants and getting a two year scholarship program for it.

I felt like running in a hamster wheel, which I pushed even more by myself. I didn’t know anymore my strengths and what I love to do. I had to prove myself constantly and I had no energies anymore. It was clear to me that I had to open a new door for me. This is how my VisionJourney began.

Heike was a great support for me because of the extensive, very individually adapted, profound coaching. With a lot of empathy, professional competence and creative motivation she challenged me on different levels. And I got surprised again and again by new exercises, insights and outcomes. I was especially inspired and touched by her human sensitiveness.

The vision coaching brought me back to my inner core. On this basis I have made important decisions for my job and private future. I left my employer as I disagreed in too many values. I found a new focus and a mid and long term vision for my work with children which fulfills me. I even received a two year scholarship program for it! Today I’m more relaxed, more brave and self-determined in my decisions. Thank you very much, Heike!

Leaving his lawyer job behind to follow his passion as an actor

Before my VisionCoaching program I felt empty. I was lost in the application jungle. I was not sure if I should go back to my old life as a lawyer or to pursue my career as a passionate actor.

My goal was to know where my life journey would take me and where my potential lies. With Heike’s help I found clarity: I know who I am and what I want. The mists have cleared.

The program has helped me to recognize my strengths and above all to accept them. It was important for me to understand that I am the way I am. That may sound very funny, but it was very important for me. Furthermore, I work very eagerly to focus and prioritize my projects as an actor. I’m very thankful that I decided to continue working as an actor.

The biggest challenge during my vision journey was to praise myself for what I have already achieved, to continue working on „My Thing“ and to be patient. What struck me most in the program was to realize that for many years I’ve always done the right thing and listened to my inner voice. Only this comes to mind: Heike helps!

Quitting her employee job to start her own business in the finance sector

It is very important for me to thank you with all my heart for your coaching and the time spent together including the ritual! I am so happy having met you and having made this experience with you by my side! And thank you for your patience and empathy.

It was a turbulent and eventful year for me in which many emotions and feelings dammed up… But since the coaching I feel much more relaxed, freer and more future-oriented!!! A truly great feeling!!!

And the ritual helped me a lot as well! When „the negative“ literally dissolved into smoke and ashes and some blocking energies inside me dissolved as well. Although I can’t explain exactly why – as always there are skeptical people around me who scrutinize everything and then say „well, that wouldn’t be the right thing for me“ – but I can say for myself that I needed this very urgently, especially this year, and it helped me a lot. I finally started my own business. Thank you again!!!

Head of department in an international organization refills his life with positive vibes and changes his leadership style rediscovering his passion for guitars

I remembered what it was like at the same time, exactly one year ago. One year ago I wasn’t feeling well in my life and my new leadership position. I became head of department and had to lead a mid-size team the first time in my life. I felt very challenged and asked myself if I’ve all the skills. Today I see how I changed in a positive way and how everything around me changed over the course of one year and what my situation is like now.

Heike helped me a lot. I learnt the better I know and be myself the better I lead my team. The more I integrate again my passion for music and building guitars into my life, the more positive energy I have, the better leader I am!
 
I am very grateful that I did this VISIONFINDER Program and that Heike was my coach. I would like to thank you again from the bottom of my heart for your help and support.  
And, one goal for the next year is that I want to continue my education in guitar making. :)“
Additional Remark: Since then, great guitars have already been created.
