Pauer Coaching – Career and Life Happiness Coaching by Manuela Pauer

Career and Life
Happiness Coach Manuela

I help you create a career and life you love.

My Story

Making changes has been part of my life. It started with leaving Germany to move to the US during high school. Being half Japanese and half Austrian, I had been aware of different cultures early on in my life, but moving to another country was a whole new experience.

The second major change came almost 20 years later, when I chose to leave behind my previous career path that I had worked so hard for, without knowing what I would be doing next, in order to live a more purposeful and fulfilling life. I worked in the corporate world at the time and had a sense for a while that what I was doing didn’t really fulfill me. However, I was too busy with work to figure out what I wanted to do instead.

In 2007, I finally quit and embarked on a journey to learn more about myself and find a vocation I love. My life is so different now from the way it was before. I am finally doing all the things I have always wanted to do that I didn’t have time for in the past.

I have learned and grown so much in this process and I can really say that I have changed my life so it has more meaning, is more enjoyable, and continues to be an adventure. My boyfriend and I adopted a puppy in 2011, and you can see pictures of my doggie Rafa in many of my blog posts. ♥

I now love my work as a Career and Life Happiness Coach. I get to work with heart-centered professionals who are very interested in personal growth. I enjoy empowering people to connect with their mission and purpose and clearly define what they want so they can create a career and life they love.

Career and credential Snapshot

Manuela has been a great help to identify my stress triggers and focus my life and career goals. I find each and every conversation extremely helpful. She's been helping me with work/life balance, personal and professional relationships, and becoming more satisfied with my work life. I highly recommend Manuela's coaching!

Manuela’s ability to guide, acknowledge and provide suggestions made a dramatic difference in how I viewed my professional career. After every coaching session, Manuela left me with a smile and feeling very accomplished. Any person looking to work with a coach would be lucky to work with Manuela!

With absolute certainty, I highly recommend Manuela if you’re searching for coaching and career management assistance. She helped me define and clarify my goals and better tackle my work/life balance. She was quick to hone in on my strengths, weaknesses, and identify opportunities. Above all, she was very detail oriented, supportive, and warmly authentic.

Manuela has a vivacious, welcoming energy that is reassuring, encouraging and stimulating. She has an excellent ability to sequence ~ creating a flow that prepares participants and eases them through activities. Her cheerful, good-humored style encourages participation in a positive way. Her ability to synthesize, make distinctions and time her commentaries is perceptive, positive and illuminating.

Throughout our 10 months working together, Manuela was an endlessly encouraging and positive force who always pushed me to take my thinking one step further and make my goals as ambitious as possible. Starting our coaching relationship, I has hoped to walk away with more defined next steps in my career, but over the months, Manuela supported me in many more areas of my life, from developing strategies for better work/life balance to pursuing personal projects. I saw the impact of her coaching in all areas of my life, inside and outside of work, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to work with a coach!

I wanted to thank you again for all of your support, wisdom, and thoughtful coaching. I did a phone screen today with a company that I would have originally thought was completely out of my league, and I realized that I was more readily able to access specific examples and respond more quickly and clearly to questions than I had in the past. I credit you with helping me to refine, clarify, and better present myself. I also remembered to value myself and my experience, which was really key. Thank you again for being a beautiful presence in my life. The ripples from your coaching continue to inform and inspire me. It was all truly valuable. Thank you again!
