Hedi Schaefer is one of the coaches that we found this month and we did a little interview with her. She impressed us with her creativity and expertise.
She is an inspiring coach whose path to guiding others towards transformation started in the depths of her own identity crisis. Born into a family of psychotherapists, she found her calling early, officially stepping into the coaching arena in 2010, specializing in innovation and agile work for large corporations worldwide. But it wasn’t merely about corporate strategies and market relevance for her.
She was always looking for something deeper beneath the surface. She was drawn to individuals seeking liberation from their own confines, yearning for authenticity and empowerment. What began as post training counseling sessions burgeoned into a profound exploration of personal development methodologies, spanning from systemic coaching to hypnotherapy. However, it was during a pivotal moment of crisis after becoming a mother in 2018 that she unearthed her true coaching essence.
She embarked on a quest for rapid, profound healing, amalgamating various modalities into her unique coaching approach. Today, her 3 C InnovationCanon Framework offers a transformative journey: from clarity to cleansing, culminating in creation, enabling her clients to transition from mere survival to thriving in their lives. Here is what she said.
Meet Life Coach Hedi Schaefer:
Name: Hedi Schaefer
Pillar: The Spirit, The Mind, The Heart
Who is this coach for: Anyone who wants to gain clarity, cleanse themselves from all the blockages keeping them to move forward, and become a conscious creator of their life.
How they can help: By using various tools and techniques like hypnocoaching, energetic work, and approaches like the Emotion Code (using magnets to transmute) or Yager Code (asking the system within for parts that block the desired outcome), just to name a few.
First of all, how are you and your family doing after these Pandemic times?
Very well, thank you.
Weâve had very rough years as a family of three: Me, my husband, and a six year old (today).
But because we ( my husband and I) used these crazy times packed with restrictions and fear, we were able to work through our triggers, (generational) traumas leading to these triggers and fears.
Today we could not feel stronger, more resilient, and at peace with ourselves.
How did the coronavirus pandemic affect your clients? Did it affect you at all?
“Corona” Spanish for the crown, to me was for many âcrowningâ something they did not want to live anymore.
Like having a senseless job or playing certain roles that feel inauthentic and drain personal energies.
And not in their fullest truth.
For many, it was when all dysfunctional patterns and many triggers (just trauma that comes up to be released) started to come to the surface.
It was a tough time because of all the fear and shadows but I believe in retrospect this was a big blessing so that people could heal it.
And start living more consciously and aligned with their truth through different and more aligned choices.
It was a classic crisis of the masses where you could choose to make the most out of it and grow and find out about your truest potential, light, and purpose you have within.
I was going through the same thing, created my business, and healed.
Although these times are challenging itâs the times when we grow the most.
What are the biggest lessons that you learned in this pandemic?
Crises are the best times to grow out of your limitations.
That human beings are incredibly resilient if they use these potent moments in our human journey to their advantage.
If they come back home to themselves and into their power.
I learned that a calm nervous system can keep you afloat from any outside chaos and uncertainty.
The Origin:
Tell us about you, your career, how you started with your coaching career?
I started young.
I can not remember not being a people pleaser.
I was born and raised in a family of psychotherapists and this combination became my foundation.
Officially I became a coach in 2010 for innovation and agile work.
I was mainly doing trainings and consulting large companies across the globe in innovating with products and services, their company, teamwork, and meeting culture.
And support them in becoming a relevant player in the market.
Inoffocially I was drawn to people in these companies who wanted to break free from their restricted company reality.
Who wanted more in life.
Who wanted to live more authentically and in their power.
So, I would do 1 on 1 counseling after trainings regularly.
Because it felt so natural, I knew, I was on to something.
So I trained in about 10 to 15 different personal development, coaching styles, from systemic to hypnocoaching, breathwork to energetic work.
But my true coaching nature came to fruition during a big fat crisis after becoming a mom in early 2018.
Working through and healing my own shadows, (generational) trauma and dysfunctional beliefs, patterns, and addictions, and searching for the most effective tools to break free of them fast, while getting to know who I really am without external expectations and programming, made me the coach I am today.
What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?
It was my identity crisis when I became a mom at 35 years old.
When I was not able to run from my shadows anymore, but because I had a baby and was at home nurturing her, was confronted with my traumas, limiting beliefs, and dysfunctional patterns every single day.
I was very lost because the identity that kept me surviving: being a highly accomplished consultant, flying around the world, was collapsing, and now, as a new mom, I was not able to identify with what I was doing anymore (because I had no idea what I was doing here!) and more importantly and more painfully:
I had no idea who I truly was.
The Coaching Style:
How do you innovate with coaching your clients?
I use the most effective tools I was able to find and combine them with my intuitive healing abilities to create breakthroughs.
I adapted the Yager Code and the Emotion Code for example and tested and perfected innovation strategy tools like purpose, value, and vision creation.
What drives me here is the innovation process to refine and perfect what I use for the best outcome every single day.
I also use collaborative online tools such as Miro, a visual online whiteboard space for my clients to work visually on their clarity and homework and itâs the best way to document the process and outcomes of each session.
Because, when having breakthroughs you need to come back to what has happened and why to digest and fully integrate it.
I also use scales to measure the results like the map of consciousness by Dr. David R. Hawkins.
When clients jump from consciousness of 368 to 668 in one session it helps them to understand what emotional state they are operating before and after.
I do have a set framework of using the 3 Cs InnovationCode, but really every single client is so very different so itâs always an innovation.
Whatâs unique about your coaching approach?
My unique coaching approach has a history.
After being totally overwhelmed, depressed, in victim mode, and waiting for someone to save me during my crisis, I finally started to work with the tools that I had in my drawer.
In the process, I created frameworks for purpose, value, and vision creation that helped me out of this fog, and into clarity and a feeling of fulfillment and energy I never had before.
Then I worked through my blocks with tons of new tools and supervision and created my own for cleansing and reprogramming the subconscious mind and calming the nervous system from surviving to thriving.
While in my own process, I tested with clients, friends, and family.
And finally condensed everything into the unique and holistic 3 C InnovationCanon Framework:
The 1st C: CLARITY, is a fast forward into your truest light. You go on a treasure hunt to find and design your purpose, values, and visions about any role you play, the lifestyle, and the dream career you wish to obtain. It becomes your inner compass through times of change.
The 2nd C: CLEANSING is absolutely unique in the way I work with my intuition plus tools that intend breakthroughs. I work with the subconscious mind which is 95% and identify the blocks together with the clients. There are no limits in this space, sometimes we need to work on a block that was installed centuries ago. I know it sounds wild đ It really depends on what comes through and is aligned with what the client needs and can handle. Itâs a miracle really and clients call it âmagical.â
The 3rd C: CREATION is a set of future skills that help my clients move forward and test their new identity, new business ideas and work lifestyles in an agile and easy way. Learning at high speed from what works and does not and adjusting accordingly. My motto here: Life is a prototype and the faster we learn the faster we can create whatever feels aligned and thriving.
What benefits do your clients get after working with you?
My clients often claim that through the transformation they experience a rebirth.
They gain clarity about their inner compass, the confidence, energy, motivation, and stability to surf through their life.
They cleanse from deep blocks holding them back from their success and fulfillment and create a life that is authentic and aligned.
They stop surviving by fitting in and start to thrive.
They step out of victim mode and into their creator’s shoes.
Do you use any specific tools to be efficient with your clients?
As mentioned above I use a holistic mix of innovation tools, hypnocoaching, energetic work, and approaches like the Emotion Code (using magnets to transmute) or Yager Code (asking the system within for parts that block the desired outcome).
My intuition becomes a very big part of guiding my client and me through the sessions and into the release.
The Impact:
If you had a super megaphone that, when you speak into, the whole world will hear your message, what would you say?
LIGHT UP AND LEAD!
All power is within.
Stop looking for answers outside of you.
Stop wasting your time waiting for something to happen.
MAKE it happen.
What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your life?
Your desires are your future identity calling you.
Your dreams are very real.
And that everything you put your work and effort into becomes a reality.
Anything you put after “I AM” will help you shed whatâs blocking you from it.
I can create my own identity and step into my truth every single day.
This power comes from no certificate or money.
It comes from within.
And when all the blocks vanish it shows big time and a new life begins.
Your final thoughts?
We are currently living in exciting times to transform ourselves and lives and the work we do.
We must know that everything is inside out.
I believe that the world as we know it, based on lack, fear, and constrictions will come to an end and that we enter a new earth based on love, flow, abundance, and peace.
It all starts with every single one of us making that change within first.
So it can manifest outside of us.
I strongly believe that we didnât come to this earth to suffer and survive.
We came here to transform and thrive.
Start today, you deserve it.
