Background

Background

My coaching background consists of 5 very important events in my life. The first event that is most important to me is meeting my spiritual master, ven, Gonsar Tulku Rinpoche and all of my teachers. Studying under them had a huge positive influence on my life so far. The second event is not less important to me. I was very fortunate having recieved direct teachings from my first coaching mentor, my father Christian Warzinek. He has tought me the ABC of coaching by offering his practical experience of Transactional Analysis and his example was beyond positive inspiration. He always appeared as a calm, contemplative person that guided me with peace, understanding and wisdom. I am very grateful for all of my teachers for none of the positive events could have been established without them.

The third event was when my grandfather passed away. His face was just inches away from mine and I saw his arteries on his neck pumping blood until the heart stopped working. This was one of the most profound teachings I had recieved - ever. Number four was when I met Parn. She had a powerful influence on my thoughts and she was able to correct some major mistakes I made in my way of thinking before I met her. She did that without using words - most of it. She helped me by being an example or by showing silence when my thoughts were to loud.

The last event was opening the Phuket Meditation and Retreat Center in Phuket together with Parn and with the blessings of my teachers. Since we've opened the Center, my main work was to teach meditation and offer counselling/coaching work to so many people. This was confirming that my methods were working and actually helping our guests. So I decided to start life-coaching and counselling work officially because this is among the things we do best here at Phuket Meditation.

Methods

My coaching work consists of only 3 Elements. I call my coaching method ERA coaching. It means "Establishing, Responding and Achieving". The first step will establish awareness of ones problems as well as ones targets. The second step creates awareness of the way we respond to life and the way our responses lead us to our goals or not. This is the "actual" coaching part. If we know how to create, we need to know how to recieve accomplishments. This is the third part. ERA coaching is a complete system in itself based on mindfulness-practice and modern day coaching techniques and their variations.
