Life, Business and Health Coach
Being a Health and Business Coach means that I help people with their health as well as their finances and business.
I make a living by helping people to have an easier, more healthy and more fun life.
Would you for instance like:
· a better overview of your life and finances?
· increased earnings without having to work more?
· better relationships?
· more energy in everyday life?
· less and infrequent pain?
· more purpose and goals in life?
Then read on ...
The way I work
I mainly work with the underlying causes of problems - not symptoms.
That means I use the symptoms as arrows which direct me towards the main causes of your body's challenges and imbalances.
Health
My philosophy is that all imbalances come from either deficiencies (lack of) or poisonings (negative outcomes/effects.)
That's on all levels: body, mind, spirit and environment.
A symptom at the body level may be that you're overweight. The cause might be lack of exercise.
It may also be a lack of fundamental nutrients like vitamins and minerals.
The outcome is that you become worn out.
It's my clear conviction that if you give the body the building blocks it needs, then your body works optimally. And in an optimally working body there isn't any space for health-related challenges.
Poisoning of the body may be done through e.g. sugar, tobacco, additives, coffee, medicine or pollution.
On the emotional level your deficiency may be love, proximity to other human beings or having someone who cares. Conversely it may be a suffocating parent or partner that is causing the negative feelings in you. Both of these situations ideally need to be dealt with through seeking the help of a psychotherapist.
Intellectually you can lack challenges in your work. Or you may be put under stress because you have not finished your work. Perhaps the demands made on you - by yourself as well as by others - are just too great.
Spiritually you might lack purpose in your life, or a religion may try to manipulate you into doing what IT wants, rather than what YOU want. Each of these will have negative outcomes for you!
Finances and business
An example of a symptom might be that you have a debt of 300.000.
The cause of this debt is probably your attitude and the convictions you hold.
Even if I gave you 300.000 and you suddenly became debt free, it would probably not help you. If the attitude behind your debt had not changed you would - strangely enough - end up with a new debt of 300.000 within a short period of time. Curiously enough, the debt will not be 500.000 or 100.000, but exactly 300.000. So it's our attitude and convictions that decide how our finances look and how our other external life looks.
Debt is a symptom rather than the real cause.
So, I help people to achieve stable finances, perhaps starting an independent business, if that's what they'd like to do.

Symptom treatment
If you only treat the symptoms, for example with medicine or coaching that doesn't work with the underlying causes, the pain may go away provisionally, but the destruction continues and later it can become much worse.
No matter what the symptoms are, I can help people to achieve balance in their lives.
It's important to use symptoms to locate causes. It doesn't help anyone to treat the symptoms as if they were the cause. For example, a headache could mean that you haven't drunk enough water. It wouldn't help to take a pain killer if you don't drink the necessary water. The lack of water will destroy your body, as the symptom is pointing out.
Cause treatment
I can help you to locate the causes of your physical, mental, emotional, spiritual or financial challenges. I look behind the symptoms to see precisely WHY you have a bad shoulder, or are afraid, or have debt. I find out what the symptom is telling you.
It's easy to understand that if you burn yourself on a hotplate you have to pull the hand away. But the next layer of response from the body may be difficult to understand.
How long is the treatment?
A series of sessions can be a few consultations, or many spread over several months.
For example, I had a client with a very specific challenge in her work. When that issue was taken care of, our coaching relationship ended.
Other clients wish to work on several issues or deep-lying challenges, e.g. lack of purpose in life, building up a business, problems with joints, sleep, blood sugar control, low energy or debt, and clearly that requires more sessions.
The best doctor
The best "doctor" is someone who has experienced illness himself.
4 years ago I had three different jobs, so I worked extremely hard for almost 100 hours a week. After 6 months I burned out!
Now I work 15 hours a week and earn the same as 4 years ago - that's a full-time income - in a considerably easier and much more fun way.
Work smart – not hard!
The chemistry between us and the cooperation
So if you want to work on causes rather than symptoms, it's possible that I can help you. Our chemistry needs to fit together so we both benefit from a fruitful cooperation, and
I like to work with resourceful people who just need to have their course adjusted a little!

What is a Life-Coach?
When
hearing the word ‘Coach’, many people immediately think of a Sports Coach.
It’s
true that this is one type of Coach, but it also describes someone like me who
asks questions in order to enable clients to identify their strengths and
potential, then helps them to utilise them effectively.
Pre-conditions for success
One of
the most important pre-conditions for successful coaching and therapy is that
the client has a burning wish for, and is ready to make, changes in his/her life.
Another
is having the client's trust. This is extremely important to the success of the
coaching or therapy, and is the reason that I’m so very honest about myself on
my website (www.mhoffmann.dk/mylife)
and on this page. Since I’m seeking honesty from you, I feel it appropriate to
start with honesty and openness in myself.
How can
coaching help?
As an example, 25 years ago I
went on my first skiing holiday, and I paid a ski teacher to teach me.
That
meant that, instead of having to find out for myself or stand in a queue at a
ski school, I was on the slopes the very first day.
Why
waste time, energy and money if you can get experts to help you?
Questions and goals
As
a Coach I will ask you many questions. In replying and working through
your responses it should make things much clearer. For example, ultimately, it
could make it easier for you to do some things you didn't have the courage to do
before. It may be about every-day things like standing up for yourself, your partner and
children. It may be to quit your work or deal with a troublesome customer in a
new way.
Put another
way, you’ll be in a position to do something you’ve wanted to do for a long
time, but you haven’t taken action because you’ve been afraid of what seemed
like insurmountable consequences.
I will
help you to look at the possible outcomes of your actions in an honest light.
Thus you can take a decision which is appropriate for you and your situation.
This
process may be helpful when handling stress or disillusionment or ending
‘performance fear’.
The
outcome for you is a better and easier life.
I can
also help you with wording your goals in life - after which I will help you to
reach them!
The
reason I ask so many questions is because, deep inside, you know all the answers
and the solutions. Maybe not immediately, but the sub-consciousness will work on
the questions and answer you.
I will
help you find the answers through the questions I ask you.
What is a Business Coach?
As a Business Coach I can
help you with starting that business or career you'd like to have.
I can also help you with the short cuts to success.
Bank adviser
First of all you may want to
ask: “How does a Business Coach differ from a Bank Adviser?”
Well - a
Bank Adviser is hired by the bank to handle the bank's interests and may,
therefore, be more interested in giving you a loan than helping your business. However, a loan only provides
short-term relief, because the loan has to be paid back over time, with interest
and interest's interest.
Freedom
I'd like
to help you to achieve HONEST freedom – the kind you can get with healthy
finances. That means that you earn more than you spend so you have no debts.
If you
need a loan for an investment, you can go to a bank.
If you need financial counselling, it would probably
be wisest to get it from a person who is a good role model, i.e. the kind of successful,
debt-free person you’d like to be.
Causes
As a Business Coach I can
help you to find THE CAUSES of possible ailing finances and a failing business.
Subsequently
I can help you to improve the situation.
I can
also help you to organize your day, your week, your office, your computer, your
contracts, your customers - in short - everything you need to get order in your
life and your business.
What is a Health Coach?
A Health Coach works on
prevention and good health.
A Health
Coach helps you to avoid becoming ill and having to visit a doctor.
There
are certain similarities between a Health Coach and a doctor, i.e. we both work
on peoples’ health.
But the differences are greater since - in general:
A doctor works mainly
with sick human beings who would like to be healthy.
A
Health Coach works mainly with healthy human beings who would like to
continue to be healthy and get even better.
A doctor works mainly through medicine and surgery.
A Health Coach works mainly through conversation and nutrition.
Example, Veins:
A doctor
can work in the following way: If a patient comes to him with, for example,
problems with veins which are too narrow, the doctor will (hopefully) talk with
the patient about their life style problems. S/he may also prescribe medicine to
correct the narrow veins, or might mechanically dilate a large constricted vein.
If you take the medicine but then continue your way of
life as previously, the body continues its self-destruction.
As a
Health Coach I, on the other hand, will help you by using the symptoms to
establish THE REASON why your veins are constricted and identify where the
imbalance is!
It might,for example,
be a result of your life style, but it could also be phsychosomatic.
I'll
help you to support your body to balance itself in a natural way, thus
dissolving the constriction and eliminating the blocking.
Causes:
I believe that:
About
half of all health-related challenges are ‘psychosomatic’ that is –
related to the interaction of mind, brain, body and social context.
It describes the way in which a problem within the mind (e.g. stress) can create
physical symptoms (e.g. depression, blood pressure.)
A psychosomatic
illness originates with emotional stress or negative thought patterns, and
it’s necessary for the mind and the consciousness to do some ‘re-programming’.
Originally the ‘programming’ may have been something that protected you, but as often happens,
it later went on to be detrimental to you.
A common misconception is that a psychosomatic condition is
imaginary, or "all in someone's mind". Actually, the physical symptoms
of psychosomatic conditions are real, and should be treated quickly, as with any
other illness.
About a quarter of the challenges are related to poisoning, that is
e.g. pollution, medicine, additives, dyes, tobacco, alcohol
etc.
The last
quarter of the challenges arise from 'lack of' states, e.g. not getting
enough basic nutrients in your food like vitamins, minerals etc.
The crops
About 50 years ago farmers
harvested only half the number of fields they do today. This intensive
agriculture damages the nourishment available to plants. It isn't
sufficient only to add N, P and K, which causes the plants to grow and look
beautiful. It's still missing hundreds of small quantities of nutrients that we human
beings need in order to work optimally.
An example from me
Until
two years ago I constantly had cold hands and feet. When I went to bed in the
evening, I often wore socks. And when I sat at the PC keyboard, within a few
minutes my hands were as cold as ice.
After
taking some special food supplements which specifically clean the veins
so that the blood flows more freely, I
haven't had cold hands while at the computer, and I don't wear socks
in a bed any more!
It's also good to be able to greet people without having to speculate about
whether my hand is cold or not.
Of course I could have
taken some medicine which might have cleaned the blood, but medicine is
artificially produced and thus poisonous for the body, unlike natural plants.
All medicine has side effects (even when taken correctly)
but plants don't - unless taken in unnaturally large
quantities of course.
Instead
of taking medicine, I took the naturally produced food supplement which helps the body to
clean the blood and veins, in the same way as Vitamin C helps against scurvy.
Getting paid
Here in the west
the doctors are paid for the number of sick human beings they help.
It's no secret that the pharmaceutical industry lives on sick human beings.
In my
trade we live on healthy human beings.
I'm paid for the number of happy, sound, energy-full human beings I've helped.
If people aren't healthy and glad, I make no money ...
Why have coaching and therapy?
If you'd like to shorten the time it takes to learn a skill (get a steeper learning curve) and then retain it,
it's a good idea to seek help from an expert, e.g. a Coach.
It's also a sensible idea to use the help of a Coach if you want to be able to define yourself.
That means finding out who you really are underneath the facade you show to others.
That's something we Danes have a hard time with! If we want to know what we are, we have to have a foreigner tell us.
In
Turkey there is right now an incredibly popular TV series where a Dutchman
drives around the country in a Mobile-Home and describes his experiences. The
reason for the success of this programme is that it gives the Turks an
opportunity to see themselves from the outside!
This is true also for individuals. Sometimes we just need someone else to reflect for us or to 'hold up a mirror'
so we can properly see ourselves. Therefore, for many years now I too have used a Coach,
Mike Lewis www.TheTimeOfYourLIfeCoach.com,
and a Danish Therapist/Supervisor.
I
wouldnt be a good Coach, Mentor and Therapist, if I didn't do this.
Newly published book
Click on www.limu-moui.dk/english
to read about thet book I acquired the rights to translate and publish in Danish, in
2005. It describes how to get good health with the help of a remarkable
seaweed which contains about 70 fundamental nutrients your body needs.
Who is Mikael Hoffmann?
I'm a fairly ordinary human
being with downsides just like everybody.
So having said that, if I can undertake Coaching, others can also do it, and that's
what I'm inviting you to do. Let me Coach you!
A clear
assumption is that we first find out a whether we like each other and that our energy
is good together.
I'd like
to help you to change your life in a direction that you find attractive and
desirable.
As I don't at present know a lot about you I will need to ask a lot of questions.
I'm quite good at asking the right questions!
It's in this way that I can help you to find within yourself your
potential, strength, passions and desires.
With these discoveries I can help you to stay happier, more harmonious, have new perspectives, avoid
the worst pitfalls, become inspired, be better organized, cut the superfluous away and find what's deep within yourself, gain greater balance, achieve success, and create better relationships in life.
Different caps
I switch between three
different "caps", when I work with my clients.
I'm a
Coach, I'm a Mentor and I'm a Psychotherapist.
The
Coach asks questions, the Mentor gives good advice, and the
Therapist digs down into problems so they're easier for the client
to solve him/herself.
If, for
instance, a client has problems in connection with his/her work:
The
Coach will help the client to identify their own resources to structure
the job in a way that is helpful to them.
The
Mentor gives good advice which will shorten the client's learning curve
significantly.
And the
Psychotherapist will help the client to decide
whether to continue with that job or quit ...
Responsibility
I work very much on the basis of self-responsibility.
There
are two different ways of relating to life and other people:
You may
be reactive, or you may be creative.
Notice
that the letters are the same - the order is just changed slightly in each word.
But the
meaning differs widely.
When we
are reactive, we are "avoidance-oriented", that means we react more or
less defensively to the things that happen around us.
If, on the other hand, we're creative, we choose consciously to go after what we want if we think it's valuable to us. We focus on what we wish to gain and
take the initiative to make it a reality.
Education
I educate Health and Business
Coaches, who educate other Health and Business Coaches.
That is - I try to spread the good life to as many people as possible, in fact to anyone in the
world who wishes a better life.
My plan
is to educate five Coaches, who in turn will train five Coaches, who will train 5 Coaches....
Eventually these initial 5 Coaches will become 125!!! Can you see the potential? In that way good health and
financial freedom will spread to many people like rings in the water.
Alone I'd
never be able to reach out to so many, but together we can change the world for the better - in an easy and
joyful way.
Camino-hiking tour
Incidentally - I work in other
fields of my life in the same way as mentioned above. Two years ago I was part of a
group of eight people who hiked on a Meditation Hiking Tour on the Camino in Spain.
www.mhoffmann.dk/elcamino
Last year I took seven new people to a second Camino walk, and this year it's
my plan and my hope that when I do the walk again, all these seven people will bring seven new people
each...
Interested?
What would you say to being more and more healthy, having good finances and leading an exciting life?
If you're interested in hearing more about how it can be done, then contact me. We can
find out whether we like each other.
It's important that we can work well together to achieve your success.
