My name is Petra, coach and I'm CEO
of Mind Body Flow Coaching.
Nice to meet you!
When I was asked 6 years ago "what do you want to do with the rest of your career from now on?" I was anything but eager to do so.
This question affected me deeply, because I had never really considered this question in my life before. And suddenly it was time to face "the fear of not knowing.
I worried about my added value if I were to do something completely different. And I felt sadness and regret over the past 20 years for allowing myself to be led by others, without asking myself what I really want. And that created resistance. Because I had to start all over again.
I thought...
Wake up Call
Often you need a low point in your life to wake up and realize that things can be different.
I took control of my career from that point on. Through self-insight, self-discovery and reflection. But also taking control of my own thoughts and self-confidence.
Meanwhile, I have supported more than 200 self-aware IT engineers in this process.
The time when you let others determine how you should live your life is over.
You are always one decision
away from a totally different life.
And the time to choose is NOW!
Future Proof: The most comprehensive life coaching program for self-aware IT engineers.
As a self-aware IT engineer, with the right technical and personal skills, your impact knows no limits.
🌱 With this track I let you experience the power of self-awareness and having the dot on the horizon;
🌱 Experience what it is like to shape your career and be guided by your own choices;
🌱 Increase your self-confidence and learn to understand yourself better;
🌱 Change your behavior sustainably and naturally.
Who am I to tell you all of this?
Everything that I share with you is based on:
✔️ Numerous years of experience in the dynamic IT sector: My career in IT has introduced me to various aspects of this rapidly evolving industry over many years, giving me in-depth knowledge and insights.
✔️ Coaching over 200 IT Engineers: As an experienced coach, I have had the pleasure of guiding and supporting more than 200 IT engineers in their professional growth and development both in teams and individually.
✔️ Structured training in professional coaching: My expertise has been enhanced by a post-graduate training in professional coaching and team coaching, supplemented by various specialized courses.
In addition, I am also an expert by experience. For 20 years, I followed a path that was not mine. Guided by good advice from managers and colleagues and expectations of myself, I spent years 'just doing whatever'.
Only when I took the time to start thinking for myself, and questioned old stories I told myself, did I start to emerge more and more. This taught me so much about how self-insight develops, self-confidence is built and new opportunities are seized.
I also spent years working in environments that expected me to be more visible, speak out more and make my mark more clearly. I have developed ways of meeting these expectations. Not always in line with who I am deep inside. I like to share this practical experience and my knowledge and expertise with you.
Because I truly believe that it is possible to change your behavior, BUT only with purpose, necessity, urgency and discipline. It is time for you as a self-confident IT engineer to take control of your life and career
Petra personally
I really enjoy walking in the woods with my dog Clipper. I like to read inspirational books under the porch in the garden; preferably 3 at a time 😉 And I love inspirational quotes.
I prefer to take a short sabbatical with the family every 6 weeks. Lovely holidays with the caravan, winter sports or playing games at home.
This gives me the chance to step back, shift my focus and reflect on whether I am still following the right path; my path.
I also ride horses every week. I dream of having my own horse, which I promised myself when I turn 50.
