Life coaching - Eva Maria Fischer - Referenzen

Nach einigen wenig hilfreichen Erfahrungen mit anderen Anbietern war ich zunächst skeptisch, ob Coaching für mich der richtige Weg ist. Die Zusammenarbeit mit Frau Dr. Fischer hat meine Erwartungen jedoch bei weitem übertroffen. Seit zwei Jahren begleitet sie mich als Coachin bei meiner beruflichen und persönlichen Entwicklung. In dieser Zeit habe ich einige der bedeutendsten Veränderungen meines Lebens gemeistert – von einem Karrierewechsel bis hin zu einem internationalen Umzug. Die zweistündigen Sitzungen mit Frau Dr. Fischer, deren nachhaltige Wirkung sich besonders in der Zeit zwischen den Terminen entfaltet, zeichnen sich durch Tiefgang und Wärme aus. Besonders wertvoll ist ihre beeindruckende Fähigkeit, selbst komplexe Zusammenhänge schnell zu erfassen und mir mit gezielten Fragen und Inputs immer wieder neue Einsichten und Perspektiven auf mich und meine jeweilige Situation zu eröffnen. Dabei verbinden sich ihr außergewöhnliches Erinnerungsvermögen und ihre ausgeprägte Achtsamkeit: Selbst kleinste Details, die Monate zurückliegen, greift sie präzise auf und bindet sie zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt gezielt ein. Frau Dr. Fischer ist sowohl fachlich äußerst kompetent als auch authentisch in ihrer Herangehensweise. Ihr aufrichtiges Interesse am Erfolg ihrer Klienten ist in jeder Begegnung spürbar. Sie setzt ein breites Spektrum an Coaching-Methoden situationsgerecht und flexibel ein und bringt gleichzeitig ihre ganz persönliche Note in die Arbeit ein. Auch die Möglichkeit, unkompliziert Termine anzupassen oder Zusatztermine zu vereinbaren, schätze ich sehr. Die Arbeit mit Frau Dr. Fischer hat mich in meiner persönlichen und beruflichen Entwicklung entscheidend vorangebracht und bleibt ein überaus wertvoller Bestandteil meiner kontinuierlichen Weiterentwicklung.

„Eva Maria has been coaching me since 2012. Every time I reached out to her with a challenge in either my professional or private life, it turned out to be a game changer. She helped me tremendously with both big issues and small, from life changing decisions involving my career and personal transformation to specific struggles I had with employees. Our sessions have always been extremely beneficial. Eva Maria encouraged me to realize my full potential – for happiness, leadership, personal growth. She empowered me to take action and make important decisions, which led to wonderful outcomes. What I particularly appreciate about Eva Maria’s coaching is that she brings to the table a comprehensive view: We would speak about values and ethics, meaning of life and joy of living, and other “big” topics, and seamlessly shift focus on to my particular actions and impulses. I learned to understand myself better, to understand what motivates (and discourages) me, and, not least important, to be ready and enthusiastic about taking action. Eva Mara, I realized, always works on three levels: the immediate issues I was facing, my long-term goals and my deeper growth as a person. Working with Eva Maria has enriched my life and led to beautiful developments, for which I am immensely grateful to her.“

I am in my 70’s and I have realized it is never too late to change. I was a closed flower and with the coaching, I finally started to open and blossom. When we first met 6 months ago, I was a different person. I was without self-confidence, fragile and easily insulted by other people’s actions. Often, I was crying in my heart. After only a few online coaching sessions I noticed a difference. I felt seen and heard. You guided me to see myself and my circumstances in new ways. It was not an easy process, but a journey of progress. Today I am strong and full of confidence in every area of my life. I think differently. I take action on my intentions without delay. All this because of your coaching. Thank you very much.

„In 2018, I participated in the Education Outreach Program (EOP) which assists homeless adults to recover from the trauma associated with their homelessness and be re-integrated into their community. And I had the good fortune to have Eva Maria as my mentor and coach throughout the 12-week life skills class. Not only did Eva Maria support me in successfully graduating the program, but she was a crucial part in the huge transformation that I experienced. I was finally able to come out of my shell, and most importantly, to let other people in! I now feel that I have friends and a network of people that I can rely on, people that warm my heart – and Eva Maria is a special one. She was with me as I looked back on 57 years of my life, remembering things that I had left behind and are important to understanding who I am, and coping with early childhood experiences; teenage years high school; my intimate relationships; focusing more on what „I“ want – personally and professionally. I enjoyed the drawing and journaling a lot, and value the meditation and mind exercises she gave me. They have helped me through these months of isolation during the shutdown for Covid-19. I think about Eva Maria everyday with gratitude. She has helped me to do this miraculous thing, to recover and get my life back. And she has remained a good friend! I know now where my drive comes from in life and I am able to take good care of myself. Eva Maria was a rare blessing that came into my life. Everyone should go through a process with someone like her! „

„In 2014, I took part in the Immunity to Change workshop with Eva Maria. It was really fun, revealing and profound and triggered me to start working one-on-one with her. The coaching made me realize that all my more concrete goals and my need for personal growth were connected. Eva Maria has a wonderful ability to work holistically and connect the dots. Her intuition is powerful and her insights were guiding stars in my life. Each session stirred up a lot, but Eva Maria made me trust that doing difficult inner work was necessary for the transformation I was seeking. When I did the exercises that she suggested as homework (e.g. writing fictitious letters), I could already feel the sensation of a deeper peace. I faced very painful memories and, in the end, created very positive transformations. I learned to forgive others and have compassions towards myself. And Eva Maria was always there with me: A source of caring, validation, wisdom. I had done a lot of different techniques and I am a seeker of ways in which I can improve myself and my contribution the world and Eva Maria’s coaching was an intrinsical part in this process at a time where I wanted to find a more genuine way to live my life; one that was more aligned to my deeper values.  I highly recommend Eva Maria; she makes you feel that you matter, gives your life and story the importance you’ve been seeking for and guides to combining all sides of you into one that you will ultimately, fall in love with.“

„I started working with Eva to explore other talents and strengths in my personal and spiritual life. Our work very effective and she was simply Great!   She helped me understand better areas in myself that I quite honestly had not considered before.  In particular, taking the Myers Briggs Personality test gave me a different perspective on myself – with surprising insights.  We crafted an action plan how I could expand my established preferences and gain more ease in integrating other ways of being. We really delved into the nuances, having a more meaningful type of appreciation in relationships with people with different personality traits. Another aspect that was especially dear to me in the coaching is how Eva invited me to bring my faith (a major force in my life) into our space. Reflecting on my purpose and values that transcended the (career) questions that I wanted to resolve.  In summary, working with Eva’s structured plan provided a deep meaning to our work together and made it more valuable than I could have expected.“ RD, Finance, New York

„After my initial coaching session I felt empowered to live my life more fully. The entire experience was affirming and made me feel heard and validated.  The approach was very holistic and inclusive.  I was inspired to create positive change in my personal and professional life in a way that felt manageable and realistic.“

„Eva Maria’s Coaching ist einfach klasse, jede einzelne Session hat mich in meiner Situation mit anstehenden Entscheidungen enorme Schritte weitergebracht. Eva Maria bietet maßgeschneidertes Coaching an, vielseitig und tiefgründig, dabei empathisch und pragmatisch, angepasst an individuelle Themen und aktuelle Bedürfnisse. Ihr breites Know-How verbunden mit ihrer angenehmen Persönlichkeit machen Eva Maria zu meiner besten Coachin, die ich allen uneingeschränkt und absolut weiterempfehlen möchte.“

„A couple of years ago, I was looking for a coach as I felt stuck in my career and in my life. I started working with Eva Maria – and embarked on an exciting new journey. We did a Myers Briggs personality assessment and clarified my values and dreams. I ended up quitting my corporate career to be a full time musician. Eva Maria was never idealistic about it but always realistic – and made me emotionally well prepared for the bumpy road and the sacrifices. It turned out to be the best decision ever! I am so happy with my life today, and I don’t know if I would have arrived here if it weren’t for the coaching!“

„Eva is wonderful to work with. She is patient, understanding and always offered a new perspective and way to think about things. She challenged me but did so in a light and approachable way. I liked the meditation in the beginning of the session. I particularly appreciated working on the charts and thinking about my overall life goals, struggles and values. The coaching really helped me hone in on what I’m trying to accomplish in my life.“

„Eva Maria is a real powerhouse! Humble and serious – but creating miracles in my life! 6 months into working with her, I changed jobs, started a loving relationship and feel so much more at peace with myself. Thank you, Eva Maria!“

„At the end of a long-term relationship I found myself disoriented. I felt the need to overcome old patterns and habits – yet didn’t know how. This is when I started coaching sessions with Eva Maria. She quickly understood the underlying dynamics and made me see them clearly. She challenged me to take a different perspective of my interactions. She was very empathetic and helped me value myself and my strength. At the same time, Eva Maria was honest with her observations and intuitions about what was holding me back. I appreciated that she wasn’t just superficial and warm to keep me comfortable, but helped me gain a deeper understanding of myself. While working on this longer term process, she always made sure that I left each session with a concrete tool and exercise to feel better. Especially the gratitude journaling exercises have become a solid tool in my life. Eva Maria helped me weather the life transition from being in a committed relationship to being single really well. I very much recommend Eva Maria as a coach!“

„A couple of years ago, I felt exhausted and with no creative energies left. A colleague of mine recommended me to contact Eva Maria for coaching. What a wonderful recommendation! Eva Maria helped me balance my life and mood and refocus on my values.  She was available and flexible and I felt understood and accompanied in the coaching process. Eva Maria is a true philosopher – we discussed life and death. Her Socratic questions were powerful, and they helped me clarify my own spirituality and word view. With a renewed sense of purpose, I was able to find joy again in imagining and creating. I am very grateful to Eva Maria!“

„I wholeheartedly recommend Eva to anyone as she is very thoughtful, caring, experienced. Since 2014, I have attended an “Immunity to Change” one day coaching workshop with her as well as two different group processes. I have also reached out to Eva many times for individual input with issues I was struggling with in my professional life as well as my private life. Eva has been a wonderful facilitator and coach: Insightful, resourceful, and thought-provoking. I especially enjoyed her ability to help me navigate new paths of consciousness through creative and powerful meditation and visualization exercises. And the sessions have always had a lasting impact; I find myself learning and improving long after. It is an absolute joy to have her as a coach!“

„During the height of the COVID19 pandemic, I had the opportunity to participate in a series of workshops created and facilitated by Eva Maria, called “Connect and Thrive: Growth in and through a Crisis”. These workshops provided a wonderful opportunity to connect with people from all over the world, reflect together on both the challenges and the opportunities resulting from the global crisis, and support each other in adjusting to the new reality. The sessions consisted of a rich blend of meditation, written and oral reflection, one-on-one discussions, small group discussion, and brief lecture. Eva Maria guided us to be more attuned to the ways in which the pandemic has impacted us (emotionally, mentally, and physically), and helped us to better distill for ourselves how we each would like to grow from the unique challenges and opportunities we were facing. Eva Maria is a very thoughtful, insightful, warm, and incredibly skilled communicator and life coach. She was a wonderful listener and, even though it was a group coaching setting, she responded flexibly to our individual needs and struggles. She encouraged us to be creative and imaginative, and to expand from our habitual thinking and reconsider circumstances and challenges from multiple perspectives. The methods and approaches cultivated in these workshops and the personal input I received are tools I continue to use to thrive in my current significant life transitions. It was a true gift to be able to participate in such a program.“

„On several occasions I turned to Eva for help. One time, especially, I was overwhelmed with grief after the loss of a loved one, and she skillfully guided me into finding new strengths. She is a fantastic life coach and our meetings and her approach turned out to be extremely beneficial to me.  Eva very effectively helped me sort out my problems, gain perspective and envision possible solutions. The exercises she suggested, though easy to follow, were profound and proved very powerful. Under her guidance I’ve become more resilient in the face of difficulties. She is sharply analytical, pragmatic and authentic. With her help I am now on the track and live life fully.“

La experiencia de coaching con Eva María ha sido realmente transformadora. Ha sabido arrojar luz sobre la confusión que reinaba en mi cabeza y me ha permitido descubrir qué es lo importante para mí en la vida, mis valores y mis metas. Eva María, de una forma muy natural ha conseguido hacerme consciente de muchas cosas que no veía y de esta forma sentirme mucho más a gusto. En definitiva, ahora estoy más satisfecho con mi vida que cuando comencé el proceso de coaching con ella, que es el objetivo que buscaba.

„The Immunity to Change is a profound and fascinating workshop. It brought me closer to achieve the goal I am working on . The coach was very competent, professional, approachable and able to familiarize with the participants’ issues quickly to guide them into the right direction. A very good experience and a very pleasant atmosphere! Thank you!“ Sandra Klein PhD, Biologist, New York @1 „My experience with the workshop was very positive. I managed to discuss important issues I have been dealing with and see a holistic picture of what motivates me and what holds me back.“ Hadas Cohen, Tel Aviv @1 „I really loved the workshop. It was a very helpful tool to go deeply through my goal and vividly explained why some things around me were not working the way that I wanted.“ Mahmoud Sepehrmanesh, Engineer, New York @1 „I highly recommend this workshop. It was very well organized and helpful in the attainment of personal insight. I was impressed with the coach’s professionalism, and her gentle yet determined guidance toward self-discovery, allowing for revelations about my deepest desires and fears, and what my underlying, and contradictory, motivations really are. Truly eye-opening!“ Christina S., New York City@1 „I’m glad to have been a part of this workshop. It was very eye-opening to me.“ Brooke B., Physician, New York
