coaching

with ERC Lutz Business Coaching AG

Based on the term "coach" (English), we understand coaching as "the art of transporting people from their starting point to their desired destination—in the most pleasant way possible."

While the current situation often varies greatly and usually requires a precise diagnosis to identify where you are currently stuck, the desired destination, when viewed superficially and formulated as a specific goal, often appears very different. Ultimately, however, it is always about feeling better than before in the long term, both "on the way and once you have arrived," and thus being happier overall.

By professionals for professionals

Only in recreational and amateur sports can you get by without professional trainers and coaches. Professionals who want to perform at the highest level always seek the best support they can get to achieve their goals. This is no different in sports than it is in business or politics.

What makes the ERC coaching model so special is its unique combination of training workshops and transfer coaching.

Participants from several companies train together and support each other in their individual projects.

This makes it easier and more enjoyable to achieve greater implementation success and enormous synergy effects. Even the most difficult change processes can be mastered with Cooperative Business Coaching®.

Business coaching supports you in achieving business success, i.e., increasing your economic success. By success, we mean the degree and nature of goal achievement.

Goals are future outcomes and target states that are not only "gradually" better, but are achieved in a way that builds trust, increases customer value, and improves the quality of life for everyone involved.

Only in recreational and amateur sports can you get by without professional trainers and coaches. Anyone who wants to perform at the highest level as a professional is always looking for the best support they can get.

In order to increase competitiveness, productivity, and employee skills, with the necessary result of greater economic success and a better quality of life for all, a comprehensive change process involving all employees is crucial.

Real skills can only be developed through intensive and systematic training, which is also a lot of fun. It is a valuable and crucial process of growth and learning. Shortcuts may get you through school, tests, exams, and even certifications, but in real life, in sports as well as in business, only those who have sown sufficiently, i.e., trained sufficiently, will reap success in the long run.

What makes the ERC business coaching model so special is its unique combination of training workshops and transfer coaching. Participants from several companies or law firms form performance communities and support each other in their individual projects. This makes it easier and more enjoyable to achieve greater implementation success and enormous synergy effects. Even the most difficult change processes can be mastered with the group coaching method.

You should select consultants and coaches using a simple test procedure. Professional competence is a prerequisite and the minimum requirement for every consultant. However, the decisive criterion is the extent to which they can help you make the most of your own resources and abilities. This involves much more than professional competence, namely the ability to always confront you with reality while at the same time inspiring you, energizing you, and making you feel good. It must be fun to work with someone, both in sports and in business.

Many years of practical experience are required to be able to guide development processes, deal with potential resistance to change, and understand your situation. Professional competence and enthusiasm for the subject arise from the sum of practical experience gained from many different issues, solved problems, and processes that have been lived through. When in doubt, you should always give preference to the consultant who has the most extensive and valuable experience.

Quality and good advice are always expensive, as we know—but always worth the price. Have you ever noticed that the job title "tax advisor" contains the two words "expensive" and "advice"? Tax advisors, like all good businesspeople, should also be trained by professionals, not amateurs.

At this point, we would like to quote a 19th-century English social reformer:

John Ruskin

There is hardly anything in this world that someone cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper. And the people who consider price alone are the fair victims of such dealings. It is unwise to pay too much, but it is worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money, that is all. If you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the item you purchased cannot fulfill its intended purpose. The law of economics prohibits you from getting a lot of value for little money. If you accept the lowest bid, you have to set aside some money for the risk you are taking. And if you do that, you will also have enough money to pay for something better."

life coaching

Our holistic approach has a positive impact on all aspects of life. In this respect, life coaching cannot be separated from business coaching. As a means of helping people to help themselves, life coaching provides individually tailored life strategies, holistically networked basic knowledge, and even wisdom in the sense of pragmatic life skills.

High achievers in particular are often at risk of losing their balance and failing. This also makes it emotionally understandable: in a time of change and turbulence, increasing complexity and acceleration, rising demands and a deluge of information, life coaching is becoming more important than ever before.

Sustainability means working with self-renewing resources, and this applies in particular to people. Self-exploitation by entrepreneurs and employees ultimately leads to a decline in their performance sooner or later. Entrepreneurs have a duty of care to prevent this, for their own benefit and that of their company, their employees, and their customers.

Life coaching supports people who are caught between professional success and personal quality of life in finding their individual balance, achieving their professional and personal goals, and developing their full potential. It follows that life coaching must be tailored specifically to your needs.

People who are fully engaged in life need help to help themselves, i.e., coaching, individually tailored life strategies, and a holistically networked basic knowledge, even wisdom in the sense of pragmatic life skills.

We have four tips for you to achieve a lasting improvement in your work-life balance:

  1. Tell yourself: I don't always have to be perfect.
  2. In the most important areas of life, such as personal and professional development, health, finances, relationships, as well as meaning in life and "everything that makes your heart happy" – be clear about what you want.
  3. Discuss these goals with your partner and family and
  4. Make sure that the people close to you share and support these goals by making agreements with them.

The Baden-Baden model

Here, the Baden-Baden model with its seven pillars of quality of life provides guidance, can impart skills that will make you fit for the future, and thus increase your chances of a meaningful life.

Specifically, it is about achieving an optimal balance in seven areas of life: finding your purpose in life and your calling, developing yourself personally, professionally, and entrepreneurially, staying healthy and fit, achieving an optimal financial situation, cultivating fulfilling relationships with your fellow human beings, and having enough time for "everything that makes your heart happy."

Only when you feel at home and comfortable in all areas of your life can you reach your full potential. Life balance generates your performance, which is a prerequisite for leadership skills, developing ideas and strategies, building effective organizations, and ultimately achieving economic success.

With our support as coaches with many years of experience and in the company of like-minded people, exchange is encouraged and, through a combination of lectures, seminars, workshops with theatrical elements, and transfer coaching, skills are acquired that bring participants closer to the goal of "wisdom and a meaningful life."

The knowledge imparted about life comes from three sources:

  • Latest scientific findings
  • Ancient wisdom teachings
  • Experiences of trainers and participants

The Baden-Baden model clearly summarizes the often fragmented detailed knowledge of various specialist areas, highlighting connections and commonalities and thus consolidating them into an orientation system.

It is not a question of which theoretical approach or method is right or wrong, because everything contains a partial truth and no one is 100% wrong. It is much more exciting to find out how the partial truths fit together and to integrate them into a practical system for the individual.

An important cornerstone of this is learning to interpret the signals of the body, encounters with people, and experiences as messages, and to learn the symbolic language of life. Life always makes suggestions to you; you just have to decide for yourself.

With a more complete mental map, a kind of internal navigation system, you are better equipped to orient yourself in a more complex environment, choose the right life strategy for your current stage of life and personal circumstances, make good decisions, and find your individual balance. By being more relaxed, tolerant, playful, and humorous in our interactions with ourselves and others, it becomes easier to cope with the uncertainty and insecurity of life and to significantly improve its quality.
