About me
When I was diagnosed with bipolar, my world was shattered. I was hospitalized twice in a mental hospital for almost two months, in total. I refused medication at one point and was not in control. I was fired from two jobs and had 4 different jobs in 5 years. After 15 years of marriage, my wife and I decided to split up, and to top it all, I had strong unhelpful thought patterns that could have ended my pain. I felt helpless and hopeless.
I avoided all contact with the outside world, spent a whole year lying on the couch and completely isolated myself until I reconnected with my passion and started the journey to my new life and acceptance of my diagnosis.
Now my life is very different. I am making plans, I am motivated, energized, enjoying the present, and looking forward to the future. I want to help others to embrace, accept and thrive in their lives, with a bipolar diagnosis. My journey was long and painful, yours doesn’t need to be.
Coaching is a dynamic partnership—an alliance between a high performance coach and the coachee—that fosters a thought-provoking and creative process. This collaboration is designed to inspire the coachee to maximize their personal and professional potential.
A certified high performance coach specializes in facilitating the creation and development of personal, professional, or business goals. Together, you will craft and implement a tailored strategy for achieving these objectives, ensuring that you stay on track toward success.
In this partnership, the coach adheres to high ethical standards and promotes a safe, respectful environment. They also encourage coachees to seek psychiatric and therapeutic support when necessary, emphasizing the importance of holistic well-being.
The Coachee understands that coaching is not a substitute of psychiatric or therapeutic treatment and does not prevent, cure, or treat any mental disorder or medical disease.
The Coachee is responsible for creating and implementing his/her own physical, mental and emotional well-being, decisions, choices, actions and results arising out of or resulting from the coaching relationship and his/her coaching calls and interactions with the Coach.
