Your Fears and your Beliefs.
I am a believer in human potential. With awareness, we can let go of our resistance and allow sustainable happiness. This necessitates a systemic approach.
Over the past 20 years, I have had the privilege of learning from numerous coaches, teachers, and mentors who have helped me stay curious and carve out my unique path of lifelong learning.
I have successfully raised funding for my startup, served as an executive and leader overseeing a team of 200 people, organized events globally that attracted over 145,000 visitors. I have earned multiple awards as a television producer, collaborating closely with talents and public personas. Having lived in four countries and visited over 50, I have also exhibited my photography and authored a book.
Along my journey, I have experienced significant failures, both in boardrooms and in my personal life. I am intimately familiar with moments of confusion, procrastination, and the feeling of being lost. It is precisely in these moments that I have turned to the support of coaching and mentoring, guiding me towards new beginnings and better decisions.
I consider my most significant achievement to be a husband and dad. I highly value my meditation practice and my commitment to regularly attending 10-day-long silent retreats.
I believe we have entered a new era where we must redefine "success." While being interested in one's development and well-being is a great starting point, it should lead to serving causes larger than ourselves and supporting others and the planet. When this occurs, we unlock the most inspiring phase in life and business: The Omega Leader level.
Why Coaching?
Investing in coaching has made a profound positive impact on my life.
My WHY of coaching is clear: Coaching is a two-way stream that creates awareness, momentum, and growth. My mission is to help you find your potential and inspiration resulting in measured and concrete outcomes.
Coaching is a special way and an investment to create a positive and lasting impact on our lives. For me, it’s also about giving back. Coaching brings the best out of me, and it is connected to my own purpose to help inspire and be inspired in return.
The Omega Leader Coaching approach integrates the best practices and exercises from my path. I keep testing and constantly improving the offering based on the client feedback system.
The outer reality is the reflection of your inner self.
As a coach and mentor, asking good questions and facilitating thinking already takes the client a good distance. Yet, if the causes and conditions are there but not quite aligned, getting things done may need a gentle nudge in the right direction.
I am personally more a doer than a thinker, and I will turn this nature in your favour to enable you to accomplish your tangible goals through concrete steps.
“Massive thanks to master Risto! Your deep-rooted and very empathic mentor approach not only helped me perform better in my new executive role, but also made me understand my own core value base better - and to be true to my values in all my doings.”
