Sport is part of my life, and when I had major knee surgery myself a few years ago, I was told my body would never be the same. What’s more, I should urgently consider looking for another job.

I was paralyzed for a while, but then I decided I wouldn’t just accept it. I wanted to have my old, plump, colorful life back.

The way back was not always easy, but I faced it and since then I have run marathons, marched over the Alps and hiked on foot through the Negev desert in Israel.

Here I reveal some of the tips that I have tried myself – on all levels: nutrition, mental and training-wise.

My personal end-of-year ritual for relaxed holidays: “What am I really proud of this year?”

/in ,

Dear Readers,

as every year, a few weeks before Christmas, I take the time to review the past year. I look back, think about what worked well, and learn from what may not have gone as planned. I appreciate this end-of-year ritual not only very much myself, but also many of my clients.

Especially after a challenging year, in which we may not have achieved all our goals, this reflection helps us to focus on the many small, often overlooked successes. All too often, we fixate on the big picture and overlook the steps that got us there. But it is precisely these steps that show us what we have really achieved. When we look back like this, we can end the year with satisfaction – and enjoy the holidays much more relaxed. The “mental homework” is done, and you can let go of the year in peace. The readjustment can confidently wait until January.

If you want to take up my idea with the end-of-year ritual, take a little time and focus on these questions:

  • What three things I’ve achieved this year make me particularly proud?
  • What have I done or changed specifically to make these successes possible?
  • What changes has this brought to my life?

These questions put your focus on what works

I know many of us didn’t achieve all of our goals this year. It was a year full of challenges, uncertainties and obstacles. I am also one of those who have not achieved their target goal. But you know what?

That doesn’t mean we’ve failed.

If we take a closer look, we realize how much we have actually moved and achieved. After all, we grow the most through the moments when we make mistakes, are challenged or seem to fail. And who knows? Maybe this year we planted the seeds and did the right things to reap the rewards next year.

Therefore, I would like to encourage you, especially when you feel stressed or dissatisfied: Take time to look deeper. What have you achieved, changed and achieved this year? Are there things that you don’t have on your radar at the moment, but that you can be really proud of?

And then: Please celebrate yourself extensively and enjoy this soothing feeling of pride and contentment with all your senses! This is exactly what end-of-year rituals and especially the festive season are for – to experience, enjoy and consciously celebrate contentment and inner peace! I wish you a lot of joy in realizing how great you are, and a relaxed, wonderful Advent season.

Kind regards,

Yours
Conny Schumacher

Do you know the power of your “superpower”?

/in ,

If two people do the same thing and one is significantly more successful than the other, there can be many causes.
One is certainly that the successful person makes the best use of his or her individual strength in the right environment.
Then things “slip” as if by magic: everything becomes clear, honest, uncomplicated – and thus more successful.
You don’t understand why others struggle so hard… Do you know your superpower? My superpower is an unerring sense of what to do in the next moment.
Clear, sober, strategic, intuitive, from the gut.
I see the solution, the next step, the path crystal clear in front of me, I literally smell what makes sense next.
I can trust this impulse blindly; he has guided me through many really difficult situations in my life.
It’s not for nothing that I have the nickname “Stehaufmännchen”.
🙂 If I trusted him, he has never misled me.
Sometimes that means doing NOTHING, sometimes waiting, and sometimes it means going full throttle.
I can’t predict it.
He’s just there.
Highly developed through years of survival training on hikes through the desert, over the mountains, in sports and in 30 years of self-employment. How can my superpower be valuable to you? I know from my own experience how difficult it can be to see the next step, especially when you’re in a crisis or feel stuck.
This is exactly where my superpower comes into play and becomes the proverbial “ace up your sleeve”.
I also see the path ahead of me with my clients crystal clear and the steps that need to be taken strategically next out of a crisis.
If you get involved and we are a team, then it saves you a lot of money, a lot of nerves, a lot of strength and many wrong decisions.
You can tell by comments like: “It’s amazing how quickly you caught yourself again” or “I didn’t think you’d be able to do it so quickly”… And of course, you can see it in your measurable results.
However, it only works if we are a team and work together towards a goal – whether it’s getting back on our feet after a wrong career decision or achieving a goal that has not come any closer so far.
I just see it.
I can trust my senses 100%.
I have built my entire life on it.
My superpower is perfectly used wherever I am, live and do business.
Does that mean I never have challenges?
God forbid.
It just means that I won’t let it drive me crazy because I know that I’ll get it back under control quickly. What is your superpower, and how do you use it to your advantage?  #coaching #goforyourdream #theartofgettingwhatyouwant #zielesetzenunderreichen #motiation #selbstverwirklichung coaching

Fine perception: a gift and a challenge

/in , ,

“Conny, I’m so sensitive – I get everything…” Women in particular often confide in me that they are “stuck” due to their fine perception and preferences. They then say things like: “I’m not so stubborn in terms of the zodiac sign”, “My human design is not made for this” or “The stars are unfavourable right now, I’m waiting for a better phase”. I also often hear: “My partner/boss/colleague is a toxic narcissist” or “I’m still waiting for the portal days”. When I ask what the worst thing about it is, I hear: “People just don’t understand me” – and that makes me sad and lonely. Understanding and recognition FIRST OF ALL: I take this super seriously. We humans have “presets” and feel vibrations, and women often have a very fine sixth sense, an extremely fine perception. The more we deal with ourselves, the more subtle we become. This means: Of course, we perceive these default settings, disturbances and currents. That can be very stressful, absolutely. I myself have superfine antennae, extremely trained through years of sports and many adventures. I feel things before they happen. So the question is not whether what we perceive is true, but how do we deal with it so that it does not burden us, but is beneficial? After all, fine perception is a great gift per se. Four Steps to Dealing with Fine Perception Here are my 4-step recommendations on how to deal with it sensibly: Step 1: Notice it, acknowledge it – but don’t get stuck in it. So much is cleared up when you trust your preferences and senses. I was extremely enriched when I read my Human Design. I suddenly understood a lot of things that I had always felt but couldn’t grasp. But please: Don’t let this knowledge dictate your life. Consistently carry on in your daily life as if nothing is happening – do what you have to do, even if it is more arduous on some days or with some people than others. Success is achieved by those who regularly do what they need to do. It doesn’t matter whether he feels like it or not. No matter if the sun is shining or not. Step 2: Keep the energy with you. Moods are energy and therefore absolutely neutral. The best way to differentiate yourself is to distinguish between sensitivities and “it really doesn’t work” by directing your attention to yourself. Here’s to YOU! Not on your sensitivities! So instead of telling everyone your story and exuding yourself (your energy), consciously keep it with you. Do what helps you to stay with yourself in the moment – and do it very consciously: meditation, sports, work, being in service for others, going for walks, sleeping a lot, eating something good… Step 3: Use your antennas wisely. Find a job where your antennas can be used sensibly! Because they are there – and if you don’t give them a task, they will always interfere in your life. They need something to do. One that is beneficial to you. Step 4: Transform it! I now use “presets” as an indication of where I have optimization potential. The power of habit and persuasion is strong, but I know that I can change any habits that are not conducive to me. Anyone can do it. So if you suffer from the default attitude “I am/that’s just the way it is” and are not satisfied with it, you can definitely learn to change it. Final Thoughts We often talk about becoming the best version of ourselves. From my point of view, this means: transforming unfavorable habits, preferences, currents and vibrations in such a way that you are more and more “with yourself”. To focus on what needs to be done. Without sensitivities. Do you feel addressed? Then let’s talk….

Please don’t wait too long to pursue your dreams!

/in ,

My friend Yvonne had pancreatic cancer. We’ve known each other for 38 years and she used to be the one who consistently did HER THING. I learned a lot from her concerning: “I make sure I’m doing well.”

Travelling, that was both of our thing. We had already planned a trip around the world when we were students and I can still see the face of the lady in the travel agency when we presented her with our elaborate itinerary… 😊

At some point, Yvonne went through a phase of “not now, later again, if” “that doesn’t work now, you don’t understand it”…

And now… I come back from the desert, full of impressions and learn that she died on Easter Monday. I’m really totally shocked.

I’ve been thinking about posting this for a long time – but I know Yvonne would want it that way. Her last words to me were: “Live your life”.

I really don’t want to scare anyone. But it doesn’t always affect “the others” – and today I am more convinced than ever that everyone knows deep down what they want. Sometimes it’s buried and there are a lot of “YES, BUT’s” over it: pain, guilt, fears, doubts…

I hope that the people who know me will find the courage to tackle these dreams. No matter what the circumstances are! Because there are always paths between black and white that open up when you open yourself.

By the way, I don’t promise you a quick transformation. I trust much more in a healthy, broad foundation of deep insights, transformative insights and effective skills that brings you stably into your inner power. You go from being a plaything to a creator and that gives you a lot of freedom of action and the leeway to deal calmly with life’s challenges. Because where the basis is right, there is no limit to the variety of developments.

A true story…

/in , ,

My friend Sabine has pancreatic cancer. We’ve known each other for 38 years, and she used to be the one who consistently did HER STUFF. I learned a lot from her concerning: “I make sure I’m doing well.” Traveling was both of our thing. We had already planned a trip around the world when we were students and I can still see the face of the lady in the travel agency when we presented her with our ingenious itinerary… 😊

At some point, Sabine went through a long phase of “I’ll do it all if…” And “you can’t do that now, you don’t understand it”… She had chosen a different life and was super consistent in it. It is certainly not for me to question her decision or to point fingers. Nevertheless: I deeply feel for her and I dont even want to imagine how she feels when she sees my pictures from South Africa or Namibia…

I don’t want to scare anyone. But it’s not always just “the others” who are affected.

I just wish everyone who feels addressed that they don’t wait too long to take their inner voice seriously. And today I am more convinced than ever that everyone knows deep down what they want. Sometimes it’s buried deep down and there are a lot of “YES BUTs” covering it … pain, fears, doubts… But honestly, folks, none of this is a reason NOT to do it. I’m also terrified of snakes and I’m still going to the desert!

I truly wish that the people who know me will find the courage to face their dreams. No matter what the circumstances are. There are always ways. Paths between black and white that open up when you open yourself. I believe in this because I have experienced it myself and continue to experience it.

If you want to know how I managed to go from “broke and frustrated by Covid” to “I’m living my dream and traveling the world as an entrepreneur with a 6-figure annual income” in two years, then I invite you to my free masterclass. You will learn about the challenges I had to overcome and which skills helped me the most. I’ll reveal one of these skills this evening. You will immediately see the benefits, you can practice them – and when you apply them in your life, you will notice that you are making a realy difference.

In conversation with Hendrik Born: What approaches successful managers consider to be real prospects for the future

/in ,

We got into conversation at a wine tasting – South African wine. He was standing behind the counter, couldn’t leave – and I told him that I wanted to start my world trip and my heart project – to fund women with knowledge and skills – in South Africa.

Hendrik found that interesting. Listened. Asked questions. Even read my book – a women’s book!

Hendrik is a shareholder in the winery in South Africa. Among other things. That’s all I knew at the time. Like all managers, he is well trained. On his own, he says little… Read more

Success Skill No. 1: The Power of Thoughts – and the difference this skill can make to your success

/in ,

I talk a lot about mindset and skills, about life and basic principles that can make one, if not THE decisive difference. They are often underrated, difficult to learn, and do not replace strategy or technique – but they are secret weapons in dealing with success.

If you know it and use it for yourself, you won’t want to miss it. And that’s exactly what I try to achieve through my coaching. To illustrate the benefits, today I publish a story from the category SUCCESS STORIES OF MY CLIENTS – and this story really happened! I only changed the lady’s name for reasons of discretion.
