My experience as coach
Are you looking for an experienced coach who is analytical, approachable, makes you feel comfortable, direct, open-minded and can make things concrete?
​
Then you’ve come to the right place.
My expertise
Since 2007, I have built my expertise as a coach through intensive training and numerous practical experiences. In the field of education, I have trained and guided fellow teachers in dealing with changes and helped leaders manage resistance. Additionally, in the theater field, I have coached theater makers to find the essence of their work, which has given me unique insights that I now apply in my current coaching practice.
​
My experience spans various sectors, including education (Wellant College, ROC Midden Nederland, Barlaeus Gymnasium, Nyenrode New Business School), the artistic field (theater makers, art institutions), and the corporate world (ING Bank, entrepreneurs). I have guided people in their careers or helped with stress and burn-out management. Over the years, I have conducted countless coaching sessions with individuals who wanted to bridge the gap between their current situation and their desired future.
Education and training
My knowledge and skills as a coach are built on both solid education and practical experience. I am a certified NLP Practitioner and NLP Master Practitioner. While NLP has been surpassed in some aspects by more scientifically supported techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy, I like to use a combination of all these insights and skills.
​
The foundation of my coaching skills was laid during a 1.5-year internal training at the Wellant College, called Masters in Learning. This training provided me with the necessary skills and insights to coach professionally. Additionally, I have provided extensive training on behavior change both as a freelancer and within various companies. This combination of theoretical knowledge and practical experience allows me to effectively guide clients in their personal and professional development.
I believe it is important to continue investing in my own growth and development. By staying updated with the latest techniques and approaches in coaching, I believe I can provide you with the best possible support.
