“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results” - Rita Mae Brown. 

 

Although I had just moved to another country for a new career assignment, I soon realized that I was falling back into a repeated pattern of stress and frustration in my approach to work, family and other personal situations. It dawned on me that regardless of the change in my external environment, I had to find a way to adjust my inner thinking at a subconscious level. 

 

Personal coaching was gaining popularity and being located in a remote location, options were slim. Online coaching with Karin was ideal in the sense that the sessions fit my schedule, and the sessions with her felt natural and just “flowed”. 

 

Personally, the concept of “saboteur vs. sage” just made sense with me. It is such a simple notion but helps visualize the inner conflicts and define the state of mind at any given time. 

 

This journey is a process and there is never an end to it. It is entirely about how much time one commits to his/her own wellbeing and although there is personal coaching and other programs, it is about discipline and commitment. There will never be a moment where the saboteurs will be gone but it’s about gaining control of their size and influence at the most critical moments. 

 

Karin’s calm demeanor blended with honesty direct approach suited my style. In addition, through her coaching sessions she was continuously able to connect other real life examples towards a teaching that she was instilling at a particular time. The most important quality I found in Karin was enabling me to be open and communicative during our sessions which was crucial in determining the root cause and most importantly, my path towards a better self.
