Mind is Your Own Business

“When I leave the coaching meetings, I feel good and relieved. The best thing is that I get to vent openly, and someone is there to listen to what I have to say! Coaching is a bit like a hobby for me. In the same way that I take care of my physical well-being, at Laavu I have a professional taking care of the mental side. It's great to regularly structure and spar your thoughts with a professional who truly understands the context I'm living in. Laavu's approach is really fresh and effective. I have recommended their coaching to many friends!"

From the start, I have seen coaching as a long-term project of continuous development. It has given me tools to analyze and unravel challenging issues and practical insights that help me improve my work and my resilience. Whenever something is preoccupying my mind, my coach helps me delve deeper into the causes of the problem and find ways to solve and prevent it in the future. Sometimes I wonder how to find time for coaching in the middle of a busy week, but after each coaching session, I’m happy that I decided to take the time for it.

"I’ve been really satisfied with Laavu’s coaching and I feel I have developed as a person because of it. Talking to someone about things that you don’t usually consider, already brings the added value. My coach knows how to ask the right questions, and encourages me to come up with solutions myself. The topics of the meetings may vary a lot, but I always have more energy after the discussion than before. In addition, I always have a concrete idea or action in mind that I can work on next."

Laavu facilitated a valuable workshop for our team on collaboration and working methods. We focused on many concrete tools and methods for topics such as communication and how to share feedback. Working with Laavu took us toward a better working team. We were happy with Laavu’s service for several reasons. First, they were efficient in their actions and provided us with a well-thought-out proposal. The digital tools used in the workshop provided a great way to engage our whole team. In addition, we were impressed with Laavu’s professionalism and expertise that combines psychology and business. Throughout the collaboration, we felt we were in capable hands. The whole experience reflected that Laavu is an ambitious and growth-minded company.

We approached Laavu to enhance our executive team's collaboration and communication processes. With the help of Laavu's Performance Psychologist, our executive team worked on topics such as clarifying their purpose, creating team norms, and establishing a feedback process. With Laavu's guidance, we were able to lay a solid foundation for a high-performing executive team. Our team was especially happy with the well-structured sessions, positive atmosphere, and successful outcome. Overall, the coaching sessions were a fruitful investment that helped us improve our executive team's performance.

Being a CEO you get pressures from all directions, and it is not always so easy to deal with all of them. Laavu has been really beneficial for helping manage those pressures. At Laavu, I can leave all kinds of roles at the front door. After the sessions, I often feel relieved and restful. Overall my well-being, personal growth, performance and productivity at work have increased, and I can honestly say that my work-life is just better. I've also got a hunch that all of that might also have a positive effect on the whole company. Quite a nice combo I think!
