Insecurities, Judgement, Behaviour and Self-Care with Alex Østergaard

Insecurities, everyone has them, but not everyone deals with them the same. And interestingly enough, behaviour and insecurities can originate from experiences you’ve had as a child. This is one of the many takeaways I had from chatting with Alex Østergaard on this episode.  With an interest in coaching myself, it was a real pleasure to learn from his perspective and how he does things. Active listening, zero judgement and self-compassion being a few ingredients to his success.  Enjoy! 🎙 Connect with Alex Østergaard:  https://linkedin.com/in/alex-life-coach Full episode on YouTube ▶️ https://youtu.be/u5xkR267WfA New episodes every Wednesday with our host 🎙Patrick Akil!   Big shoutout to ⁠Xebia⁠ for making this episode possible!
