Great to meet you here!

Welcome to my website and how wonderful to meet here, I hope this is the start of more!

Let me first introduce myself: My drive in life is supporting the development of others, teams and organizations. I am a trainer, coach, sometimes consultant and specialize in leadership development.

The basis is always people: I try to see their whole true self and to aim to together explore the many possibilities this unlocks; making choices to grow authentically for creating meaningful impact.

My website’s purpose is to build a place to share knowledge, experience, opinions and my learning in life, in tangible formats. I wish to connect to have a meaningful dialogue about you, your team or your organization. Also to continue learning myself.

I’d be honored to work with you. But let’s first meet virtually and see if we find the match. Through my contact page you can book appointments (free of charge of course).

I hope this website provides a comprehensive view of how I can provide added value to you and your organization.

Hope to see and speak to you soon!

What can I do for you?

A quick overview of how I might be able to help solve your requirements and/or problems.
If you are seeking a coach, or are considering whether coaching could be beneficial for you, lets talk. You can book a free meeting of 30 minutes or if you want to experience my coaching style, a 45 minutes discovery session, of course also free. See the "session Scheduler" in the main menu for booking directly in my agenda.
I deliver workshops on specific topics, or develop programs for your organization on request. I have an extended library build up over the last 35 years during which I trained and coached many people and teams.
Leadership & development is my core, applying both my facilitator and coaching abilities to their maximum extend possible. And I loved to be challenged for new things! I often apply the VUCA acronym to focus on todays dynamic characteristics in business (and the world).
I am often asked to guide, coach, develop teams, based on specific objectives. Sometimes because the team has become dysfunctional, other times to provide a new fundament through team charters and developing a new shared vision. Team dynamics is one of my favorite topis and allows me to apply my knowledge and experience, gained over the years, to the fullest.
Change is the norm, we all know. What we don't understand that well yet is how humans adopt change (fast enough). We all talk about change but we only slowly adopt (if). Transformations can be personal as well as organizational. Culture always come into play. I use proven approaches (by the underlaying theory and practical experiences). I act as a change architect if you want, and can also take care of the full responsibility for the transformation until nd including sustainable deployment .
I talk about topics that relate to my areas of expertise, of course! If you want me as your keynote speaker, I will pick-up the topic and context needed to make the keynote highly relevant. For this I use the extended database I can access as a member of the HBR Advise Council, as well as the many years (35+) experience in international business in various senior leadership positions.
With 15+ years experience as operations manager I feel I understand the dynamics of the floor, as well as the need for creating an operating model that works. I only co-create improvements for the ways of working in operational areas, I always involve the managers and team leaders.
Behavior, one of the key components of performance, quality and especially organizational culture, is often the elephant in the room. This is actually my sweet spot; I have developed assessments to put a mirror in front of organizations, show the undercurrents that actually steer behavior. Also deep dive on the systemic elements that determine behavior in organizations. Obviously behavior comes back in all activities I do, however, to make it specific is often challenging for organizations, whilst it is the biggest differentiator for becoming best in class!

WHY PERSONAL & LEADERSHIP COACHING?

Leadership is a Lifelong Journey. True leadership starts with self-awareness. Accelerate your growth into a visionary, inspiring leader who brings fresh ideas and perspectives to navigate today's VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) world. Embody authenticity in your thoughts, actions, and results. Since 2018, I’ve partnered with Fried in Leadership 360 B.V.—a specialized business combining change and transformation projects with leadership coaching. Together, we empower leaders to thrive and drive meaningful impact in their organizations.
