The method

From knowing what you don’t want to doing what you do want

Most people know very well what they no longer want. The method turns that into something you can aim at: a goal that is positive, specific and yours, and a first step you have already taken. Four courses build on each other, and you use what you learn right away in your own situation.

Yourself first, then others

We work from the inside out. First you know what you want, then you gain calm and focus, then you follow through with action and habits, and finally you lead others along too.

  1. 1

    Know what you want

    Know what you want and turn it into a goal that works.

A coach that does not just agree with you

The AI coach reads what you write and answers right away. It is critical in a friendly way: it asks follow-up questions, points out what is vague, and makes you think deeper, put it into better words and get to the core. What do you really want?

Twelve months of the coach are included with every course, with a daily limit. Your answers are saved in your account, and you can see your versions and your progress at any time.

An example of how it goes

YouI want to be more relaxed.
CoachWhat would you do differently on a relaxed morning? Describe one thing someone could see.
YouI would have breakfast sitting down, without my phone.
CoachThat is something you can start tomorrow. How many days a week, and who would notice?

What you end with

  • A completed wheel of life
  • A top 5 of your own values
  • A goal that is positive, specific and yours
  • The goal behind that goal
  • A first step you have already taken
  • A 90 day plan with a weekly check-in

Who it is for

People who feel stuck or do not know what they really want, and entrepreneurs, freelancers, managers and anyone who influences others. It is practical and down to earth, not athletic and not spiritual. It is training, not therapy.

Start for free

The wheel of life is the first step and costs nothing. It takes about fifteen minutes, and you see right away where you stand.
