"The pursuit of the best version of oneself is self-enslavement to an ideal image."
The pressure to be the best version of yourself is omnipresent—at work, in coaching, on social media. Yet self-optimization no longer seems to be a means of personal development, but rather an expression of deep-seated self-rejection. Those who constantly strive to improve themselves fundamentally believe that they are not good enough as they are. But what happens when you stop pursuing this ideal?
"You have to support people in engaging in self-exploration processes."
Klaus Eidenschink is an experienced executive coach and author. He advocates no longer submitting to the ideals of others, but rather exploring one's own needs. In conversation with Georgiy Michailov, he talks about inner drivers, misconceptions about needs, and how to regain a genuine quality of life. The two also discuss frustration tolerance, and Eidenschink reveals how to recognize a good coach.
