My name is Lars and I'm a professional executive coach. What does being a professional coach mean? It means I've undergone rigorous training to provide you with the guidance and solutions you seek. Ultimately only you know the full extent of the situation you're in and working with a professional coach is like working with a professional therapist. You'll get the tools and techniques you need to resolve the problems in a way that after each session, you walk away with something concrete. And that's the most important thing, to get a return on your investments and develop and grow little by little after each actual session.

Let me be your Executive coach. For people that are wanting to solve problems in their professional lives, achieve their goals and improve their self development inside and outside of the office environment. Book a free chemistry call and see if we are a match.

Thriving Through Life Coaching: Long-Term Commitment to Growth and Development (EN)

Thriving Through Life Coaching: Long-Term Commitment to Growth and Development (EN)

Video transcript

Life shouldn't just be about surviving, surviving on a day to day. It should be about thriving. That's what I tell my clients when they come and ask me about life coaching. So doesn't matter. It might be that you're in a rut or you feel that you haven't reached your full potential. You might feel that things are going well, but there's something missing. All of those are very good reasons to find a life coach. So the way life coaching works is that it's a long-term commitment. There are no quick fixes at all when it comes to life coaching. You have to commit over a period of time to grow, to develop, to deal with issues and problems and challenges in your life. And working with a life coach is quite easy. We will sit down, we'll set some objectives for the session, those that correlate with the long-term objectives that we have set and we will go through it. You will air your thoughts and feelings and I will use calibrated coaching questions and other techniques to be able to help you find the answers to the questions that you are looking for, help you gain perspective and then we'll sit down and we'll set an action plan where we can delve into some strategies for making the changes that you actually want. So as I said, it's a long-term commitment. I also use what I call a wellness DNA for all my life coaching clients where we will map out your needs based on Maslow's needs hierarchy. And then some areas might be perfectly fine, other areas need attention and other areas put on hold. and we go through that together in a process over each week or it might be each fortnight or every month and you can track your changes over a period of time which is really quite empowering when you look back and you see all of the progress that you have actually made. So I have a free chemistry call. We can speak and we can see if we get along. I can show you the wellness DNA and see if it's something that resonates and then we go from there.

Are you feeling like you are just surviving on a day to day? Do you lack perspective or maybe you just lack purpose. Then life coaching may be a good option for you. It covers a whole spectrum of techniques in order to holistically improve your overall wellbeing. Book a free chemistry call and see if we are a match.

Professional Leadership Trainer & Coach Lars: Personalized Coaching for Your Full Potential (EN)

Professional Leadership Trainer & Coach Lars: Personalized Coaching for Your Full Potential (EN)

Video transcript

Hello, and thank you for checking out my profile. My name is Lars. I'm a professional leadership trainer, executive coach, and entrepreneur, and also the CEO of BookMe. To let you know a little bit about myself, I hold degrees in both law and international business, have worked for large public and private institutions, including the United Nations, and I've also started four businesses, including BookMe. So my message here is that leadership is hard and if you're looking for somebody that you want to have that sort of experience to coach you, then I'm the person that you are looking for. To let you know a little bit about my coaching style, it's all about personalisation and empathy. I fundamentally believe that we are all unique. We have different goals, different challenges, different dreams and different aspirations. But I truly believe in the power of using coaching techniques to help you find the solutions that you are looking for and to help you reach your full potential. So to give you an idea of what the coaching space is all about, I create a confidential and creative and open workspace for you to be able to explore your goals and challenges. We start by clarifying objectives, whatever's on the plate for you at the moment. And then we move to having an open discussion whereby you will share your thoughts and feelings and I will use a range of sophisticated and calibrated coaching techniques such as targeted questioning, active listening, that are also available to me. Once we have done that, we will delve into strategies and create an action plan for you to be able to continue your development not just inside the coaching room, but also outside as well. Now, Also to let you know a little bit more about myself, I'm a family man and I know what it's like to be juggling leadership, family, work, home, kids, the whole suite. So in order to do that, I developed a proprietary wellness DNA, which is actually a one page map of all of your needs based on Maslow's needs hierarchy. I use that for my performance coaching and performance coaching means that if you need the additional motivation to have somebody actually following behind you, whether it be on a weekly basis, fortnightly basis or monthly basis, then using the proprietary wellness DNA can also be an option for you. Now, really at the end of the day, it's all about how well we get along. So if you're wanting to start a transformative journey, don't hesitate to book in a session with me and I offer a free chemistry session. Let's just have a chat and see if we get along and then we can go from there.

Leadership is hard and performing at your optimal on a consistent basis is harder - but it does not have to be. That is why having an accountability coach with also experience in executive coaching can help. Book a free chemistry session to find out more. Book a free chemistry call and see if we are a match.

Professional Executive Coach Lars: Unlock Your Potential with Personalized Coaching

Introduction video

Video transcript

Hello, and thank you for checking out my profile. Let's face it, if you're looking at my profile, you're either looking for a way to realise your true potential or maybe you're in a challenging place, whether it be in your professional or personal life. All I can say is you have nothing to lose. Get in touch and book a free chemistry session to diagnose and map your needs and more importantly, see if we get along. After that, if you decide to proceed, we'll work at your own pace, weekly, monthly, or however regularly you need to get the results you're looking for, whether that be solving inherent problems or instilling and creating effective habits that will get you more out of life. To let you know a little bit about myself, my name is Lars, and I'm a professional executive coach. What does being a professional coach actually mean? It means that I have undergone rigorous training to provide you with the guidance and solutions you seek. Ultimately, only you know the full extent of the situation you're in, and working with a professional coach is like working with a professional therapist. You'll get the tools and techniques you need to resolve your problems in a way that after each session, you walk away with something concrete. And that's the most important thing, to get a return on your investments and develop and grow little by little after each actual session. About my experience, I'm a serial entrepreneur, having co-founded my first business at 23, and since then, I've been involved in four other businesses, with sales globally and a fifth in the pipeline. Some have been successful, others haven't. I've also worked in large corporate institutions, including the UN, so I understand the challenges, trials and tribulations, both of entrepreneurship and corporate business life. My passion though is coaching and training people to become better versions of themselves. So at present I'm a freelance leadership trainer, communications consultant, as well as obviously an executive coach and mentor. Long story short, my experience will be a valuable asset to your journey of professional excellence. Mind you, each person has different needs. If you're looking for an accountability coach, that is someone who will push you to achieve your best, I've devised a proprietary wellness DNA, which will map your fulfillment needs based on Maslow's needs hierarchy. I've used this with countless clients to address all areas of their professional and personal lives holistically. It's truly a powerful tool, especially for those of you that have reached a rut in your lives and need perspective towards gaining better fulfilments. So how can you use me? Whatever the dilemma or if it is you're just wanting to reach greater heights, improve performance, or be more productive, then you'll find coaching valuable. Some classic coaching topics include improving yourself and emotional awareness, work-life balance, dealing with burnout, coping with work or difficult career or relationship situations, or just lack of purpose. You can also use me to improve your communication and presentation skills, spar or use me as a sounding board for your business ideas, get mentoring for difficult situations or decisions, or maybe just be an ear to clear your thoughts and frustrations. Either way, getting a professional coach will be beneficial even just for a short time. As I said, I offer a free chemistry session, so ping me a message and we can book a discussion before you start your coaching journey. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

I was recently accepted onto a Unilever management coaching programme, with Lars as my coach over a 3 month period.

Lars is authentic, caring and empathetic and at the same time, provides constructive challenges and direct feedback to his coachees. He provides a safe space for coaching conversations and is also very strong at holding one accountable, often re-capping previous commitments and providing positive reinforcement and genuine feedback.

There is no topic that Lars is unable to provide a leadership nugget for. I made many notes of tools and techniques that I can use in common situational leadership exposures in my role and beyond.

I took great value from our interactions and would not hesitate in recommending Lars. He has a great ability to quickly connect with his coachee and forms a rapport, even remotely.

I first worked with Mr Mula a couple of years ago and am still working with him now. I really appreciate the work he's doing with me using a lot of different tools and techniques. One of the most powerful tools I used with Mr Mula is his WELLNESS DNA, an incredible method for unblocking negative thoughts, highlighting what is important in my life and helping me reach my goals. The biggest win for me working with Mr Mula has been changing my mindset and attitude to being more proactive and consistent - no more procrastination!

I really want to continue working with him in the future and continuing to improve both personally and professionally.

I had the great good fortune to be a coaching client of Lars and found him to be an eminent coach, far exceeding my expectations. We covered areas such as prioritization, time and energy management and career development during our time working together and Lars helped me create great clarity in all of those areas. As a coach, he is highly empathetic, structured and excellent at uncovering blind spots and unknown unknowns, which for me personally has been very helpful. I would highly recommend Lars as a coach to anyone in need of greater clarity in life and at work!
