I’ve used Maiken as a coach and advisor for self-discovery and becoming really clear on who I am as a person and realizing my full potential. I’ve taken Spiritual Intelligence Assessment and follow up coaching as well as Maiken’s personal workshops on uncovering potential. I came to Maiken as a newly appointed leader, wanting to take a closer look at myself. And later on I had the need to become clear about my professional profile.
Even though I consider myself a ’feeling person’, I was surprised to find out how unconscious I actually was of who I really am as a person and what values are important to me. I was surprised how powerful it is to gain clarity on aspects such as my values and unique strengths.
After working with Maiken I became razor sharp on what motivates me, what differentiates me, what I stand for and how to express my truth. This clarity and focus have also provided me with clear direction and courage. I gained courage to claim my spotlight. Courage to differentiate myself because I know now deep down what I stand for and what is true to me. And courage to make choices in alignment with who I am, and what is important to me.
Becoming clear on my vales and becoming aware of my personal uniqueness was the most impactful experience. I ended up with a really unique profile of ME, where I really recognize myself and not just another ‘profile’, which anyone can do.
It has become much easier for me to communicate to my surroundings what I stand for, and it has made me a stronger influencer. My new gained understanding of myself has also made me more transparent and direct in relation to other people. And I feel like I’m a much stronger “card” and provide win-win situations for companies. I know exactly what I have to offer, and they know exactly what they get. It has become much easier to match expectations.
I like Maiken’s way of being concrete and result oriented. Each session is impactful, and you’ll never end up with just another pep talk or good advice. We set concrete goals and I’m supported all the way through and never left hanging. After each session, I had something tangible to act on. Maiken is really good at asking the right questions to get below the surface. And she really sees and takes into account the whole person. I recommend Maiken to other people, who feel a need to discover who they really are and where they want to go in life.
