Interview mir Dr. Hella Fischer

Interview mir Dr. Hella Fischer

Ich habe heute nicht nur eine Kollegin zu Gast, die Rechtsanwältin ist, sondern auch eine, die Coaching für sich entdeckt hat, sowohl beruflich als auch privat.


Spoiler Alarm - Hella beantwortet die Frage, warum sie mich als Coach gewählt hat.


Es ist kein Geheimnis, dass viele Anwältinnen und Anwälte nicht mehr nur ihren Beruf ausüben wollen. In diesem Interview erfährst du, wie die Entdeckungsreise für Hella war, ob es wirtschaftliche Folgen für ihre Kanzlei hatte und welchen Wert das Ganze für sie hat.


Dr. Hella Fischer ist eine Anwältin, die keine Herausforderung scheut, aber im Einklang mit sich selbst lebt. Ihre eigene Kanzlei hat sie 2004 eröffnet. Sie lebt und arbeitet in Bonn.

Fragen zur Selbstreflexion:


1. Gibt es etwas in deinem Berufsleben, das dir keine Ruhe lässt? Was ist es und seit wann?

2. Wenn die Situation schon lange besteht, warum erträgst du sie immer noch?

3. Was hältst du davon, einen Plan aufzustellen, um diese Situation zu beseitigen? (langfristiges Ziel mit Zwischenzielen).

Wessen Erwartungen versuchst du zu erfüllen?

Wessen Erwartungen versuchst du zu erfüllen?

Dies ist eine Sonderausgabe von Awesome Laywers, die den Frauen gewidmet ist.


Erwartungen sind etwas, das uns alle im Leben begleitet. Aber wir Frauen leben nicht immer das Leben, das unseren Wünschen entspricht. Stattdessen versuchen wir die Erwartungen anderer zu erfüllen. Nicht immer stimmt das mit uns selbst überein. Wenn dies die Ausnahme ist, hat es keine dramatischen Auswirkungen auf unser Leben. Wenn es aber zur Regel wird, beginnen wir an uns zu zweifeln.


Hier sind einige Fragen zur Selbstreflexion für dich:

1. Wer bist du? Welches Selbstbild hast du und möchtest du haben?

2. Bist du auf eigene Kosten für andere bequem? Wenn ja, möchtest du das ändern? Ja? - Was sind die ersten Schritte dazu?

3. Wie positionierst du dich als Anwältin? Entspricht sie dem, was du willst, oder stehst du noch im Schatten anderer? Was ist der erste Schritt, um ins Licht zu treten?


*In dieser Episode benutze ich den Begriff "Erwartungsgrad". Mit anderen Worten, wie weit bist du bereit zu gehen, um Erwartungen von dir selbst oder von anderen zu erfüllen?

Wie ich mein Selbstwertgefühl verloren und wiedergefunden habe.

Wie ich mein Selbstwertgefühl verloren und wiedergefunden habe.

Das Selbstwertgefühl hat einen großen Einfluss auf unser Leben.

In dieser Episode teile ich meine eigene Geschichte - wie ich mein Selbstwertgefühl verloren und wiedergefunden habe.

✅ Selbstakzeptanz

✅ Selbstvertrauen

✅ soziale Kompetenz und

✅ soziale Netz


➡️ Vier Säulen, die zusammen das Gefühl von Ganzheit vermitteln.

Das Leben ist keine gerade Linie, jeder von uns erlebt Tiefen und Höhen. Jeder hat die innere Kraft, Verlorenes wieder zu finden.

Bist du Awesome?

Bist du Awesome?

Bist du Awesome? 😎

Ich habe lange gebraucht, um in Worte zu fassen, warum ich Anwältinnen und Anwälte für unglaubliche Menschen halte. Jetzt beantworte ich diese Frage in dieser Episode.


Diese Antwort ist aus einem einzigen Grund wichtig - was Du als Anwalt über Dich selbst denkst, kann Dir niemand nehmen. Es ist die Grundlage deines Selbstwertgefühls.


Hier sind Deine Selbstreflexionsfragen zum Nachdenken:

1) Was unterscheidet dich in deiner Persönlichkeit und in deiner Arbeit von deinen Kolleginnen und Kollegen?

2) Worauf bist du in deinem Berufsleben am meisten stolz?

3) Welche Faktoren können dein Selbstwertgefühl beeinflussen?

📍I had the pleasure and privilege of having attorney and legal coach, Sabine Nagel, as a guest on my podcast.

Sie hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, Geschäftsleiter im Gesundheitswesen nicht nur rechtlich zu beraten, sondern auch bei ihrem Weg durch wirtschaftlichen Krisen und strukturellen Veränderungen zu unterstützen. Es ist ihr Herzensanliegen, dass das Gesundheitssystem reibungslos funktioniert und die Patienten bestmöglich versorgt werden.
