Interview with Christiane
What have I learned the most from?
Through the unexpected death of my mother. At the age of 13, I found myself unexpectedly in a deep black hole. On the way out, my perception of the world has differentiated, and in particular, the meaning and value of depth in relationships with other people has been clarified and illuminated.
Why did I become a trainer / consultant?
I feel a deep happiness that I have found photography as a language and, in a broader sense, as a means of communication. My own enthusiasm for this artistic medium and the trust that the students place in me lead us on an inspiring path. I constructively accompany the students in experiencing the intense process of experimenting and discovering themselves, which leads them to an individual artistic statement. The energy that is released in the process gives courage, provides strength, promotes self-confidence, and strengthens intuition. On both sides.
Which project is waiting to be realized?
The images of my current work want to be brought into a presentable form.
What is particularly close to my heart?
Vibrant communicative relationships in which both grow.
With whom / what can I not deal at all?
Intriguing behavior.
Which experience has shaped my development as a coach the most?
The emotional impact that participants experience when they take an important developmental step for themselves.
