Best Life 01

Without Making Drastic Life Changes

Starts 14 January 2021 at 8 PM CET / 7 PM UK / 1 PM EST

You always have the freedom to make choices about how you live your life. Even when times are as challenging and uncertain as they are right now.

To claim that freedom you have to figure out what you want your life to be all about. And then resolve to actually live your Best Life. BUT …

Did you know that as many of 80% of all people who make resolutions fail at keeping them?

When you decide to finally start living your Best Life, you want to do all you can to make sure you won’t be yet another statistic.

An 8-week online program

You are meant to live your own life — your Best Life. In this 8-week online program I take you through a step-by-step process to help you discover what your Best Life looks like to you and how you can realise it
You will learn things about yourself and the way you’ve been living life till now that you’ll need to and can change to live your Best Life
You’ll know exactly what life for you is all about
You’ll be able to confidently carve out your own path towards living your best life

Mountains and Nature are an important part of the work I do. They also play an important part in this online program where you’ll discover how to live your Best Life.

Together we’ll go on a virtual mountain trek.
You’ll experience the mountains, their beauty and challenges from the comfort of your own home
You’ll be given easy to accomplish tasks to re-connect you with Nature wherever you are
You’ll learn to look at Nature with fresh eyes
You’ll re-discover and experience your relationship with Nature
You’ll re-discover that you’re part of and not separate from Nature

Re-Connecting with Nature this way is important because I strongly believe you can’t be connected to yourself, without being connected with Nature!

Gerdi is an insightful and talented coach, who is never afraid of asking the questions you most need to answer. Her straight-talking approach is tempered by kindness and humour which creates an atmosphere that allows you to go deep and get to the heart of whatever challenge or issue you may be facing. Her unique combination of coaching skills and affinity with the mountains always inspires and grounds, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to reconnect not only with Nature but themselves.

-Dr. Sally Graddon, former MD

Want to start living your Best Life? This online group program is for you when …

You want to bring what your Best Life looks like into as sharp a focus as possible
You want to eliminate the risk of being overwhelmed by the idea of having to make drastic life changes. Instead, find out how to make incremental changes that are much easier to sustain
You’d love to get to know others who also want to live their Best Life
You’d benefit from not just working with an experienced coach, but also from having a group of likeminded people who’ll will cheer you on, lift you up when you get discouraged and help you celebrate your successes
You know you get your best results when you have an accountability structure to help you sustain change

However, it’s not right for you when you …

Want to live your Best Life, but in your heart of hearts, you’re scared to death of making the necessary changes. You won’t be able to go through with actually making life changes, no matter how small
Are close to or in the middle of a burnout. Before you start on the path towards your Best Life first take time to recover from that burnout
Expect results without actually doing the work. What you are about to learn works, but it is the same with this program as with any other: put garbage (or nothing) in and garbage (or nothing) comes out
Don’t have a sense of humour and can’t handle working with someone who’s known for her directness and calling a spade a spade
Expect squeaky clean language. Occasionally some swear words will slip into the conversation, I’m afraid
Are reluctant to use platforms (new to you) such as Zoom, Slack and Voxer

When you’re wondering …

Why is this a pilot program?
This is the first time I’ll be running this program live in combination with 8 weeks of support via Voxer and Slack. Though I’ll do my absolute best to let things run smoothly, there will likely be some bumps along the way.Running the program as a pilot first will allow me to smooth out those bumps, while still giving you my absolute best.
Why do you charge € 653?
The program includes:
- Access to 8 online group sessions valued at € 957
- 1 Individual session valued at € 360
- 8 Weeks access to a dedicated Slack channel valued at € 510
- 24/7 Individual support valued at € 600
- Resources include valued at € 184

Total value € 2,611. Since this is a pilot program you only pay € 653.

In addition, you get 2 more individual sessions. One halfway through the program to gauge your progress. The second one after the program to evaluate your experience and to support you as you continue to carve out your own path through life.

Do you offer a payment plan?
I completely understand it can be hard at times to invest in yourself. I don’t usually offer payment plans for programs under € 1,000. However … you can pay € 653 at once or make one payment of € 359 before the start of the program and the second payment of € 359 before the start of session #5.When you want to use the payment plan option, contact me directly to set it up.

Do I get individual (1-on-1) coaching?
Before the actual start of the program you’ll have an individual session with me where we dive into your goals for participating in this program.
In each group session, one or more participants will have the opportunity to get in the ‘hot seat’. They will be coached in the (virtual) presence of the other group members around the subject of that particular session. Being witness to a ‘hot seat’ coaching session can be as useful or even more useful as receiving individual coaching. Much can be learned from the experiences of others.

You also get 2 bonus individual coaching sessions. One halfway through the program to gauge your progress. The second one after the program to evaluate your experience and to support you as you continue to carve out your own path through life.

In the Slack channel you can spar and have discussions with other group members and occasionally I will pop in too. Using Voxer you can message me 24/7 during the entire program. On workdays I will reply within 24 hours.
How much time will this take me?
The weekly sessions are 60-75 minutes long. To truly integrate what you learn I would set aside another hour or so per week.
Much of what you’ll learn and discover you can — with some effort — integrate in your life without setting aside dedicated time. It requires conscious awareness rather than dedicated time.
Zoom, Voxer, Slack — I’ve never heard of these, can I still join?
Of course. They are easy enough to learn as long as you have some experience with online tools like for example Skype, facebook of WhatsApp. Just let me know before your individual session and I’ll help you set them up.
