Meet Life Coach Angie Staikou:

Name: Angie Staikou

Pillar: The Mind

Who is this coach for: Anyone who wants to utilize their inner potential so they can achieve their dreams and desires.

How they can help: By using various tools and techniques like active listening, empathy, goal setting and the personal brilliance model, just to name a few.

First of all, how are you and your family doing after these Pandemic times?

We are all well.

That was a very challenging period for our family but we managed to get through.

And I believe we got stronger.

How did the coronavirus pandemic affect your clients? Did it affect you at all?

The corona virus pandemic had a great impact on the social and business life of my clients.

Some of them lost faith and got less motivated to pursue the goals we set, while others stopped life coaching due to financial issues.

On the plus side, the fact that I hold my meetings online helped me keep a regular contact with them despite the quarantine regulations.

What are the biggest lessons that you learned in this pandemic?

That we shouldn’t let procrastination get in the way.

That we should live in the moment and live our life now instead of worrying about all the things that might (or might not!) come in the future.

The Origin:

Tell us about you, your career, how you started with your coaching career?

I faced some difficulties in my personal life and had to deal with them as they impacted my life’s quality.

It wasn’t easy and I tried some life coaching technics on myself.

I noticed a profound progress and I was so impressed that I decided to study more, so that I could be able to also help other people.

What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?

I suffered from panic attacks.

My whole experience in dealing with them changed me for the better.

From identifying the problem, to finding the solution that worked for me and then trying to apply it in my life.. it was a very challenging process.

At first, I didn’t know what to expect, and It wasn’t easy.

But I was determined to improve my life and become a better version of myself.

I deserved it and so did (and still does) my family.

The Coaching Style:

How do you innovate with coaching your clients?

Although each of my clients requires a different and personalized approach, the core of my approach is based on empathy, active listening and goal setting.

Together we try to overcome personal or (and) professional obstacles.

What’s unique about your coaching approach?

I have a more emotional approach.

With empathy and active listening I try to familiarize myself with my clients’ challenges, and gain a deeper level of understanding.

This allows me to embrace their needs in a much more productive way.

What benefits do your clients get after working with you?

They increase their level of self esteem.

But utilizing their inner potential and gaining increased faith in their capabilities with each goal we reach, they finally realize that they have the competence to succeed.

Do you use any specific tools to be efficient with your clients?

I use the personal brilliance model, where awareness, curiosity, focus, and initiative play a major role in achieving personal desires and professional success.

The Impact:

If you had a super megaphone that, when you speak into, the whole world will hear your message, what would you say?

‘’If you can’t find the spring, make it yourself…’’

Believe in you.

You can do everything.

What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your life?

Once we start loving and believing in ourselves, then all our goals and desires became clearer and approachable.

Having faith in our potential gives us the strength to get what we deserve.

Your final thoughts?

The key for a successful and happy life is to find the balance between your mind and your soul, something that is possible with coaching techniques and models.
