Who is Lars?
Make Time – For Your Future and meet Lars, your Professional Life Coach;
Lars, married with two children with whom he loves spending his free time with, is people- and service-oriented, patient, empathetic, optimistic, enthusiastic and a dependable team player with a holistic view on life.
As a diversified Business and Sales professional for many years I successfully re-engineered and managed business units of various sizes, improved the service level and income while controlling the cost.
Throughout my career I staffed, trained, coached and managed teams of diversified professionals. As a member of Executive Management Committees I participated in formulating strategic business plans for Sales, Marketing and Product Development.
I came to the realization the importance to know who you are as a person (identifying your PIAV™ - Personal Interests, Attitudes and Values) and the effect your PIAV™ has on your decisions in life.
Why start a Coaching Business?
After a successful career in banking I realized that something was missing - I knew I had to be true to myself to continue being successful, not only in my profession but in LIFE. Being true to yourself means knowing yourself and when you know yourself you can use that knowledge to Think Smart, Be Smart, and Work Smart. We walk through life with goals but often forget what makes the pursuit of those goals genuinely meaningful to us - the WHY behind the plan - your VALUES.
So, that sounds like you've found something that obviously worked for you - how would it benefit me in my role as a working parent, stay-home mom or dad?
Well, one of th things I discovered that gave my life PURPOSE was that I indentified what you could call a Vision Statement - a picture of a future you would like to create. I knew our family situation was like many others, a constant battle between work, quality time for your family, and quality time for YOURSELF...I looked for the answer to WHY we many times feel like we never do enough, never reach the finish line, never get a chance to feel good about ourselves - and the answer to MY vision statement was that I'm here "to serve others", and when I do, I feel good about myself. I found that by serving others I DO enough, DO reach the finish line and DO feel good about myself at the end of the day. Find PASSION and you will find PURPOSE. Look at the word carefully and you will see that it contains the essence of what purpose is about:
Pass - i - on
Isn't that what you want to do - to make a difference in the lives of others and leave something of yourself behind - pass yourself (i) on?
How do you go about helping ME?
I help you by getting to know you...and in the process you get to know and understand more about yourself by becoming aware of your own Attitudes, Values, and Behavioral Style. By understanding yourself you can become better at handling social interactions, manage time, be more flexible and be more passionate about your ROLE - as a working parent, stay-home mom or dad, wife or husband.
What makes you different from other Life Coaches?
I am different because I use a different approach, having been in the same situation you may find yourself in right now. I was a stay home dad for almost 6 years and have the insight into how it is to be torn between being a dad and having a career on hold. You need to ask yourself what's really important to you. Only then can you find more time for things in your life that matters the most to you by letting me help you establish your goals and milestones base don your Insterests, Attitudes and Values. I use my "Values Staircase™" and Assessments to get to know you and to establish your Passion and Purpose. Then in our weekly telephone coaching sessions I will give you all the assistance, help, support, encouragement and guidance I can in fulfilling the outcomes or objectives agreed with me.
So start living your life on PURPOSE today and take charge of your future! Contact me at 914-214-8705 to learn more and to schedule an appointment.
