Go on a journey and find your gift.
Self-discovery and self-transformation starts with taking a look inside. Many of the answers to your questions you’ll find right there, within yourself. My tools are designed to help guiding your vision and shaping your unique journey. I invite you to use the exercises and articles listed below to start on your path and explore what’s lying beneath.
Take a Questionnaire
The ‘What Lights You Up?” – Life Questionnaire is specifically designed to start you on the path of self-discovery. The questions are straightforward and eye-opening. Some of them will take you into the past to help you reflect back over the times and activities that made you happy. Others will take you into the future and activate your vision for things to come. Maybe they stick with you for a few days and bring about new thoughts and inspirations. Or you might come up with the answers right away. Whatever you’ll do is fine.
Start a Vision Journal
Keeping a ‘vision journal’ is an effective way to stimulate your imagination. You can carry it with you at all times and use it to write, paste, draw, and list everything that encompasses your aspirations and inspires your vision; the ideas that pop up in your head while you are stuck in traffic, the travel destinations that you have been thinking about for years, your wish to take an art class that you have been postponing for a long time; whatever ideas, images, desires, and thoughts intrigue and captivate you, they’ll be captured in your vision journal.
Make a Collage
Another great way to activate your imagination and explore your hidden desires is by making collages. This can be a single collage, for example ‘My Dream Life’, or several different ones, ‘My Perfect Job’, ‘My Soul Mate’, ‘My Ideal Lifestyle’, etc. Make the collages as big or small as you like. I use a big sketch pad that I fill with page after page of wonderful visual pictures of how I envision my future. You may also use single sheets of paper that you frame and put up on your wall. Or, you can take a picture of your collage and put it on your computer desktop.

Ask Karin – My free Q & A coaching call

"I need to start with this: Karin is awesome! From the first time we spoke I knew I wanted to work with her because of her incredibly intuitive gift as a coach and teacher. She nailed it every time I had fears or insecurities and I left every session feeling empowered, encouraged and excited. From the heart to the point, I hope to be able to be near as good of a coach as Karin. I couldn't have asked for a better mentor and I'm very proud to be a graduate of Karin's Coaching Academy."
"I feel so fortunate that I discovered Karin Lehmann International! Before I began working with Karin, I felt scattered, frustrated and couldn't seem to find a direction to focus my true passions and create something I can be proud of and enjoy. Her insight, wisdom and creative inspiration helped me find that clear direction. I couldn't be more pleased with what we created during our coaching sessions and I look forward to working with Karin again."
“Karin is a careful listener for your deepest needs and desires. I have worked with her several times over the last ten years and I always experience profound insights to help me with the next level of my own work. With her calm strength and compassion, Karin creates a space for me to see beyond my own fears and worries. Thanks to her loving attention and support I am able to make important decisions from my heart. I love my coaching experiences with Karin and highly recommend her to anyone who is in search for what’s next!”
„Karin has the gift of seeing the best in every person. Within my first session she assisted me to understand myself better; she helped me to find out what I really want and what my special talents are. Going on a ‘treasure hunt’ with Karin has been so much fun and I will always be grateful to her for uncovering my life path with such ease. Thanks to Karin I am so much happier today! -Franziska Fischer, Berlin
"Karin Lehmann has a unique ability of identifying one's special gifts & talents. She has coached me to show me my expertise and has encouraged me to bring forth my talents and let go of the fear of using them as my career.
Karin is very insightful into the human drama that takes place everyday. She has helped me to identify the things in my every day life that have stopped me from living my dream. I highly recommend her!"
"Wow! Karin is amazing. Within two short weeks, I booked a commercial, got a call back for another one, and I am having so much fun. I'm starting to live my life as if every day were the weekend! I feel so fortunate to have had Karin come into my life. She helps transform you in a very gentle, organic way that just feels RIGHT. Yay!"
“My work with Karin has changed my life! In my daily interactions with clients, friends and significant others, her brilliance rings in my ears. She taught me to relax and let joy be the barometer for my life. Her wisdom, clarity and honest perception of the moment is remarkable."
“In one session with Karin I was able to really get to what lights me up. Being a life-coach myself I was amazed at how I had missed the obvious that Karin so easily picked up on. She was able to quickly get a true sense of me and what really matters in my life. I am now spending more time and energy on just that. Karin shifted my attention from what I should be doing to what I really am passionate about, and everything is flowing easily now."
“Coaching with Karin put the fun back into my life. She "tuned in" immediately to my needs and created a space without any pressure so that I could clearly see my next step. Energy for my life and career has returned. Thank you, Karin!"
“Karin encouraged me to keep looking in my heart for what I wanted in my life and not to settle for anything less than what makes me absolutely happy and fulfilled. Out of that I was able to build a strong and powerful relationship, start my own business and bring the fun back into my life!" -Dana Minney, Austin
