Coaching Journeys
With Laura Schummer
Coach, mentor, group facilitator, thought agitator and change activator
Hello!
It is my pleasure and privilege to join you for parts of your journey.
As your coach, I will accompany you in learning about yourself and champion you in unfolding your joy for life.
I will invite you to explore your values and dreams, to sit bravely in your fears and griefs, to notice your impact on others and the impact that others have on you, and together we will observe your thought and behaviour patterns.
We will work on strengthening what serves you, and on upsetting patterns that tend to limit you...
...all in service of activating the changes in your everyday life that you desire for yourself.
"It's your road, and yours alone.
Others may walk it with you,
but no one can walk it for you.”Rumi
About me
I am trained and certified in coaching, leadership and group facilitation through CTI (the Coaches Training Institute, California) and Points of You (Tel Aviv, Israel).
I am based in Luxembourg and have living, educational, travel and work experiences worldwide.
Colourful conversations in service of your growth
Coaching journeys involve a lot of questioning intended in service of personal introspection, growth and taking action towards desired change.
Questions, to me, are seldomly looking for yes or no, black or white, right or wrong kind of answers.
What I am mostly looking for is colourful conversations, travels in thoughts and perspectives to explore ourselves, and how we relate to others.
Where do we get stuck? How can we wiggle free from mindsets and into fresh takes on our everyday life?
I believe in joy and magic,
and I believe we can help each other
find our own ✨
Take your journey and let's meet on the way.
I work and create in Luxembourgish, English, German, and French.
I take a lot of inspiration from the masters of the fields and their books, publications and podcasts.
Talking with Bessel van Kolk about citing Socrates:
"An unexamined life is nothing worth living. As long as one doesn’t examine oneself, one is completely subject to whatever one is wired to do, but once you become aware that you have choices, you can exercise those choices.” Notice he didn’t say “once you spend decades in therapy.” As I will present later, we can access liberation via even modest self-examination. A willingness to question “many of the truths we cling to” and the “certain point of view” that makes them so real - as a famous Jedi master’s Force ghost told his dispirited young apprentice at a pivotal moment in a galaxy far, far away.*
