Diagnostics

Running fine. Something's off.

There's something inside that still feels heavy. Not connected. You don't know what it is. But you know it's there.

Tuesday evening, after work

You think about who to call. Who to write to. Whether to invite some friends for dinner. Things you do to get accepted, to feel integrated. As if acceptance were something you have to go and ask for.

What you've already tried

Therapy. Books. YouTube videos on personal development. They show you the goal, and they show you the process.

But you're still a spectator. You're not part of the game.

Root cause

I was there only for the job.

I was living in the UK. One evening I was at home, back from another day at the office. I had started to meditate, so I was giving myself more space to notice what I felt. And I realized that nothing kept me there apart from the job. No family. Friends, not that close. I could work remotely. I didn't have anything else apart from the job.

A friend told me about NLP. It had helped him a lot. He had a new job and he was happy. "I know you pretty well," he said. "I think you're in a good moment to give it a try."

The coach gave me space. I realized I get more power by moving from effect to cause. Then came the moment that really made it click.

I was stuck between career and stability. Both were driven by the same value: love. If I do the career for love, and the family for love, they can't be in conflict.

I'm an engineer. Analytical. I always thought I could analyze my way through anything, and I didn't believe in self-help. After my dad passed away, I learned that some things in life don't get better with more logic. Sometimes you accept them as they are, and let go.

You don't have to choose between ambition and belonging. Both parts can work together.

Refactor

A code review of your operating system.

I don't mess around here and there. I look for the root pattern, so that fixing it has an impact across every area of your life.

Your operating system, reviewed A sketch of a person's operating system: an old process running in a loop, an outdated library that isn't connected, interfaces to yourself and to others, and a battery being drained by background processes. you.os status: running old_belief runs in a loop old_library not connected self others API battery: low background processes
fig. 1 · you, before the review
  • old code in a loopLimiting beliefs. Code written for objectives you no longer have.
  • outdated librariesParts of you that aren't connected to the rest of the system.
  • APIsYour connection with yourself first, then with others. We modernize them so the parts integrate.
  • background processesWhat drains your battery. If it isn't useful, we stop running it.

We refactor what no longer serves you, so it works for your current objectives, not the old ones. Then you get clarity on which processes actually help you.

Coaching, 1:1

We start with the problem you describe. Based on it, I tailor a process for you, and every session has its own agenda: which technique, in which session. We always work with objectives. When one is done, we strike it through.

60 minutes per sessionOnline or in person in Barcelona

We decide the number of sessions and the rhythm together, after the discovery call.

What I actually do

I ask questions. I write down your answers. I follow a tested methodology, and I follow you into the process. It's like holding up a mirror, so you can see the pattern by yourself. Sometimes I'll challenge you to go deeper.

End of review

You can do this alone.

There are many ways to get there, and life will teach you how to enter the loop and how to get out of it. But if your time is more valuable than anything else, why spend months or years on it?

Doesn't it sound exciting to be in full control of your life, and to live it with aliveness, the way you really want?

Maybe you don't even know how alive you could be.
