Let’s be candid

Working in a creative and innovative environment like a start-up, social business or creative agency can be fun but also hard. Each one is a special place with special challenges. Been there and done all of it. If you are at that point where you feel like you want to create something else for yourself or your company, coaching could be your way to go. Oh and that's what this is: personal and business coaching for creative thinkers and other humans. Hi!

Good to know

My coaching approach is not based on self-optimisation but rather on supporting humans to connect with the resources that are available to them, find trust in them and themselves (again). It's about expanding your choices and getting control over your own actions.

Meet your coach

Hi, I'm Stef,  a mental health and systemic coach and trainer. I worked in the creative industry and start-up world in various positions for over 15 years.

With CanDid Coaching I want to help other creative thinkers to connect with themselves and with each other for the well-being of all. 

Sounds cheesy, but hey that's me. You could say my focus areas are mental health support, e.g. burnout prevention, stress and resilience training but also communications and job coaching. I coach and train in English and German.

“Good to know” the Candid glossary

“Coach”

A (systemic) “coach” is the person in the coaching sessions that guides and facilitates the coaching process by using specific coaching methods e.g. the iceberg method to help the coachee making their thinking, acting and feeling visible and tangible, so they are able to find a solution to a conflict or question themselves. The coach does not diagnose or pathologise and the coach does not give advice because the coach is not the expert of the coachee’s life – the coachee is. The mindset of the coach and their own context and opinion about coaching and about the coachee plays an important role in the outcome of a coaching session and the overall process. In general coaches should know their boundaries and communicate them transparently and give their clients the same courtesy. Not every client is the right client for a coach and vice versa. You as a coach need a benevolent attitude to make the coaching process work.

“Zen”

“Zen” is a Japanese school of Mahayana Buddhism emphasizing the value of meditation and intuition rather than ritual worship or study of scriptures. It can also be a description of a calm and peaceful state of mind (”I’m feeling zen today”).We are not practicians of this school but in our coaching sessions we use meditations to get the coachee to a more calm and peaceful state and energy to support presence and the inner work we’re doing together.

“Personal Coaching”

Personal coaching describes a coaching process that is centred on the coachees personal self reflection and personal growth. See also Life Coaching. Other forms of coaching could be focused on other topics like Business Coaching or Job Coaching, Leadership Coaching or Team Coaching. 
More to know

✨ If I had more than 5 stars to give, I would! ✨ Stef and I worked together for a few months and I can not express how much these sessions helped me build confidence, understanding and clear sight of the possibilities my future really holds. Every session was a deep dive into a variety of exercises that helped me better understand myself and more. I was upset to know our last session was the last, but I am forever grateful for the support Stef was able to offer. You're one in a million Stef, thank you for everything!!!

Bass R.Berlin

Working with Stef was incredible. Her coaching was the perfect amount of structured, empathetic, friendly, and fun (even if it was hard work at times). I've received so much amazing career advice, gained some amazing insights, and a whole new confidence level in my professional and in my personal life. Cannot recommend her enough!

Understandably frequently asked questions and answers

The coaching process is individual so it's hard to say how many sessions each person “needs” but from experience it takes about 5-10 sessions.
No, you won't need any prior knowledge or experience. Just come as you are and I'll guide you through the process.
Yes, I do. English and German.
Good question! For me creative thinkers are people who design innovative, creative ideas on a regular basis. May it be because you work in a creative agency or come up with solutions for a better world – or both.
Nah…just kidding. I do. Just book a free call and if it feels good for the both of us I'm happy to support you in your own personal growth process. No matter what you do.
