This video is part of DashNDem’s artwork at the Athens Biennale 2013. 11 top life coaches from around the world were asked to collaborate on a video artwork. The art installation had the intention to coach the Greeks “out” of the 2008 crisis. In “Reaching Re-birth” the coaches coach visitors to the Biennale by means of video messages. 150,000 visitors have seen the installation.

Wassili talks in this video about pessimism, hopelessness and feelings of victimisation. He guides the viewer on how to turn these feelings into optimism.

Team coaching & facilitation

In team coaching we look at how people can settle their differences, allowing them to work with more fun, creativity and effectiveness. I know that many teams only use a small part of the potential of the team. That’s why we explore how you can grow into a generative team. This means that we are going to look at how you can really become more then the sum of the parts. Teams in organizations benefit from this as well as teams that need to perform exceptionally like f.e. a sports team.

Team coach of the Dutch women’s volleyball team

Working as mental coach of one of the best women’s volleyball teams in the world, I know how a team can get stuck and ‘unstuck’. How ‘trust’ and vulnerability can become huge strengths and how ‘being a unit’ becomes possible when all individual strengths are utilized. A team collaborating in a generative way can become magical once their spirit is unleashed.

Coaching for professionals

In the past 20 years I have had a lot of experience with professionals, such as artists, musicians, actors, TV presenters, professional athletes and top athletes, entrepreneurs, stockbrokers, currency traders, consultants, business owners, therapists, counsellors, hypnotherapists, trainers and coaches.

”1000 times more effective, more proactive, more positive, more liberating and more active than talking to a Freudian psychotherapist, who is not looking for a solution, but for the heavy, dark problem, and the problem after that, still deeper into the depths of your subconscious, so deep that you will never come out again, and by the way: the session is finished, until next week.

10 main reasons to work with a meta-coach

  1. A coach helps you to express what you really want in your life. A meta-coach helps you to get in touch with your (highest) intentions and turn them into tangible goals and missions.
  2. A meta-coach asks very specific questions in order to get unconscious issues into consciousness. As a result obstacles are transformed.
  3. A meta-coach continuously searches for the most powerful motives you have to turn learning’s into action, even if you have to deal with adversity and disappointment.
  4. A meta-coach helps you to be vulnerable, so you can go just that step further and get to the hidden treasures deep in your subconscious mind.
  5. A meta-coach helps you look at your ‘shadow’ so you can have ‘the courageous conversation’ and talk about the affairs of your business or personal life that matter most to you.
  6. A meta-coach helps you to have a ‘healthy relationship’ with ‘difficult’ emotions so you can have all your feelings and thoughts fully present. Anxiety, sadness, anger, or even ‘numbness’ can be transformed working with a good coach. Happiness, joy and sense of purpose will prosper.
  7. A good meta-coach is an excellent observer and listener. He or she knows how to listen for ‘the story behind the story’ so that doubts, insecurities, guilt, shame, stubbornness and tactlessness are tested at their true meaning and history of the person.
  8. Of course, a coach is trustworthy, completely focused to empower his or her client. To make sure that you have more self-esteem and self-confidence ‘going out the door then you came in with.’ Using proper coaching, you learn to feel confident, decisive without having to keep up appearances. You will learn how you can achieve your goals by being fully you.
  9. A meta-coach helps you to make ‘leap in learning’ so that deep patterns may change once and for all.
  10. A meta-coach helps you think ‘smarter’ so you become more effective in solving your problems and those of others. You learn strategic thinking, get more insight into the ‘bigger picture’ and understand your own patterns better.
