Markus O. Winzer

Happy Birthday To Me!!!
I could have not had a better start to the day than with my favourite human Gery Win and a good old smashed avo watching the waves in Oz. I am blessed. For the next year, I am creating a world of growth through connection and trust.

It is a pleasure to support Ben on his journey. Please join me in congratulating Ben.

"For the last 2 years I have had the good fortune to be coached by Markus through some of the most challenging events of my life.

He has been rock steady and helped me reflect on how I was being in situations where I felt unable to progress without support.

He has also enabled me to develop awareness, integrity, and effectiveness as well as many other characteristics which I didn’t even realize I had neglected.

I can see how I was reacting rather than consciously responding.

I am now in an incredibly good place emotionally and with my new career.

I also made an incredibly difficult decision to move on from an 8-year relationship, and I do not think I would have made these empowering changes were it not for Markus.

I am so grateful for the incredible coaching I have received and the difference he has made in my life.

I would recommend him to anyone wanting to increase their perception of their own characteristics so they can transform their performance, wellbeing, and those around them in their professional careers and personal lives."

Ben Dowsett, Business Owner

It is a pleasure to support Kate on her journey. Please join me in congratulating Kate.

"Before I got to know Markus,

I didn't know a lot about myself as a business owner or how I was going to navigate building up my business.

I was overwhelmed with the enormity of having a business and needing to rely upon myself to do all the tasks.

During the coaching, I have developed a different perspective to business ownership and how it needs to run.

I created many policies for my business and safety assessments.

I have become brave enough to make big decisions in my business and employ people.

Markus was able to help me build a small team to support me.

Markus is an amazing coach.

He holds you accountable for you to do the things you say you will do.

He has extensive experience and knowledge in business, has managed large teams as part of larger organisations and is a really kind person.

I recommend business owners, who already have 2-5 employees, people who are stepping into leading teams and people who are logical thinkers to coach with Markus to become more effective with their teams."

How do you avoid failing with your business?

No matter, if you are starting newly or if you are an established business owner, one area you always want to pay attention to is: how to grow your business.

Besides normal recommendations to invest into team expansion, structure, systems and tools, one of the key ingredients is constantly overlooked: our way of being about it.

A lot of things can get in the way, mostly ourselves. Thoughts, feelings and dialogues like the following can impact our business:

“I am not good enough”
“It has to be perfect”
“What will they think of me”
“I have do to it by myself”
“It is not safe - I fear failure”

When perfectionism leads to procrastination

Sometimes, we get so caught in the trap of trying to ensure everything is perfect that our desire for perfection prevents us from performing at our peak.

An unhealthy obsession with perfection may show up in the following ways:

“It’s not the perfect time to start, so why start now?”
“I have to keep working on it until it’s perfect.”
“Unless it’s perfect, I am not good enough.”

In this article published on the Engenesis platform, I explain why perfection prevents some people from performing and creating effective results and what to do about it.

‘I’m afraid to fail.’

The fear of failure is commonly the root cause that gets in our way of performing at our best.

Fear can show up in various ways.

It can show up in the form of a simple dialogue.

That persistent voice at the back of your head.

Feeling of nausea or the sensation of cold water running down the spine.

Some common fear-related internal dialogues in the workplace include:

“I am a failure!”

“How did I let this happen?”

“I hope I don’t make mistakes.”

“I fear they won’t like me.”

“What will they think of me?”

Worrying about what others may think of us can manifest in many ways.

Examples include:

⚫ "Maybe they won't like me."
⚫ "What if I am wrong?"
⚫ "They may not like what I have to say."
⚫ “Do they believe I am ready?”
⚫ “What will they think of me when I share…?”
