“Our contact via Skype was pleasant and profound. For me there was no difference with a face-to-face contact. What I particularly enjoyed was that we had coaching sessions while I was at home - in familiar surroundings, at times that suited me best”
Coaching helps you to gain insight into yourself, to look at yourself from different perspectives. It is a personal development process, with a clear goal, which is different for everyone. My perspective is holistic: you develop as a whole person, both professionally and personally.
Together we create a trajectory that is about reflecting, exploring, mirroring, and experimenting, I help you gain insight into often unaware acquired patterns, beliefs, or expectations. With an underpinning belief that you eventually hold all the answers to your questions or issues, I will create a secure, non-judgmental, and stimulating coaching environment, allowing you to reflect, become more self-aware and find your answers. This will help you gain confidence in your inherent strength.My scientific foundation forms the basis of my coaching models and mode of practice. My coaching philosophy is based on several psychological and adult learning theories, such as neuroscience, experiential learning, and transformative learning, and on theories of adult development across the lifespan, as shaped in developmental coaching.
During an introductory session, free of charge, without any obligation, we get to know each other. We discuss the challenges you face and what it is that you would like to achieve. I indicate how I may help you and give you an estimated duration of the trajectory. You determine whether you would like to work with me.
One of my motto’s is that we do what is needed. I believe in a personal tailored approach. After all, everyone is unique. From a wide range of methods, we choose those that resonate with you and your coaching objectives. A coach trajectory is different for everyone, but will at least encompass:
Laying foundations: In the initial intake session we lay the foundation for a relationship of trust, and we explore and reframe your goals for coaching. Exploring your context and the system you live in can be part of the trajectory.
Increasing self-awareness: Depending on your individual preferences and objectives, we can employ several tools and techniques.
Action: Which small steps can you take now? We explore options, solutions, new behaviour, and courses of action. Together we explore how you can come into action.
Result: I will ask you to practice the things you have learned and experience how this works for you. You will experiment with new behaviour and perspectives.
In other words, insight - development - and flow.I coach in English and Dutch.
Coaching can take place in person, online, while walking or in a blended form. Above you can read a testimonial from someone I have previously coached remotely.
A trajectory usually comprises of five to eight sessions.
For people who finance this coach trajectory themselves, I have a reduced tariff.
