Description

After experiencing intense emotional trauma, management coach, An Bakkes developed the “Embracing Anxiety Model” to help anyone battling anxiety in their personal or professional life. When she started to use the model in her own coaching sessions, the results were remarkable:

“The people who formed part of these conversations grew in their level of self-awareness and started changing in front of my eyes. Their decision-making processes transformed to show a higher level of awareness, as did the quality of their decision-making.”

Take a journey with An Bakkes and learn how to become comfortable with the discomfort of uncertainty. An will show you how to navigate uncertainty and complexity in a way that limits your anxiety and makes it work for you.

“I want share this model with everyone, to ensure people don’t have to go through dark hours to learn and apply some of the lessons and discoveries I have made.”
