Spotlight your TRUE self

Joppe Quaedvlieg, originally from the Netherlands, has many years experience of supporting foreigners in Finland as a career coach, helping them to find a job. The success of his support is grounded on communicating with his coachees in an empathetic and conscious way – and finding a good answer to the question ‘What do you really want?’.

Instead of responding in general, shallow platitudes, Joppe has found a way to make people feeling comfortable to talk about their wishes and career ambitions in an honest, detailed and authentic way – and that’s what Descriptive Communication means.

Why it is so important to talk about visual and emotional details that matter to us – for example in a job interview – and if I am succeeding myself in trying out Descriptive Communication, this is what you will hear in this episode!

You can find out more about Joppe Quaedvlieg and his offers for leadership coachings and company workshops on his website https://www.artiqula.com/ or by following him on LinkedIn!

The second part of the interview with Joppe will come out one week after this episode!

The podcast ‘Spotlight your TRUE self’ is based on three pillars:

Do you every-day life conversations feel exhausting? Are you sick of the fast, shallow small-talk? However, you also struggle to create deep, honest and fulfilling discussions with your friends, colleagues – or even strangers on a networking event?

Imagine, you would always know how to keep a conversation going – instead of experiencing an embarrassing pause, this moment of silence that feels like forever! Even if someone would attack you verbally!

How? You just need to know some small basics from NLP!

NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming, which was developed in the 1970s. It is an own wide field of psychology, it combines the best communication methods used by the most successful psychologists to support their clients, but is also used by keynote speakers, politicians and in marketing.

“I am different than the others. I don’t fit in.” – Yes, that might be true. But there is nothing wrong with you! You just have a personality type that is different from the people around you.

Understanding your own personality is crucial for accepting yourself and building up a healthy self-esteem. And seeing your personality described in written words will bring you a lot of ‘Aha!’ moments and insights that you can use in a job interview – but also in dating 😊.

Talking about our own emotions makes us authentic and breaks the barrier to build up connections with other people.

In this episode you learn how to break out of a circle of negative thoughts and emotions!
