honey-ghost-trap® - the Method

A combination of solid academic research and humanities

The method honey-ghost-trap® has a psychodynamic approach to change and is based on solid academic research that started at INSEAD Business School (where Ann Askenberger wrote her Master's Thesis on the Shadow among top managers). Since then, the research has continued with the help of participation from more than 200 leaders.
But it is also based on the ancient wisdom of how it is to be a human being and inspired by Cal Jung's observations of the Shadow and how the unconscious rules our life. On top of that, Ann Askenberger adds her professional experience in shadows in organisations since 2010.

Our promise:

To develop managers who can act from a new sense of inner psychological safety: a deep belief that one is free to use all parts of oneself and will not be punished by oneself.

This is how honey-ghost-trap® creates life long change:

  1. Relates to a personal challenge in a specific real leadership role.

  2. Connects directly to one's unique personality.

  3. Enables co-creation by the participant, facilitated by a certified practitioner.

  4. Uses metaphors, thought-provoking illustrations and colours to illustrate different parts of oneself.

  5. It's fun, playful, safe and non-judgmental.

  6. Offers permanent change of self-perception.
    "Once you get to know your shadow, life will never be the same".

  7. Allows for continouus exploration and a deeper experience by adding on extra coaching sessions.
