People who are happy in their work radiate joy. They bring out the best in themselves and, in doing so, make a difference—for others and for the world around them. They make an impact.
But that feeling doesn't just come or stay automatically. Organizations change, roles change, and we change too.
For me, the secret of a sustainable career is daring to constantly reinvent yourself and your work. Thereby (continuously) choosing for what fits you best, and taking good care of yourself ánd your talent.
So that you can continue to work with joy, purpose, and success for as long as possible.
I work with people who make an impact: often experienced managers, entrepreneurs, and professionals who are around the midpoint of their careers.
My client base is diverse. They work in a variety of industries, from local to international, and come from different cultural backgrounds.
What unites them is their curiosity about themselves, their willingness to keep learning, and their desire to stay in control of their careers.
Sustainable careers sometimes call for a new direction, and sometimes for a step toward personal development. That’s why—after a no-obligation orientation session—I often offer a customized combination of two programs.
Many customers then choose to stay in touch in a more casual way, so they can continue to grow in a purposeful way and make timely adjustments.
I am a career strategist and coach; I have a background as a strategy consultant and headhunter, and I am trained in business administration and as a (systemic) coach.
My clients appreciate my personal touch, structured approach, in-depth analyses, and tangible results. They feel they are in good hands with me.
I look at the big picture and connect the mind and the heart. I ask probing questions without judgment. I help people find their own answers.
I love my profession. Maybe because it’s the one thing that brings together everything I’ve learned throughout my career and who I am.
As a career strategist and guide for the past 10 years, I have focused entirely on creating sustainable careers at the top of the job market. During that time, I served nearly 200 individual clients: a healthy mix of men and women, backgrounds and cultures, and more and less international careers. Many of my clients are between the ages of 40 and 50, but I enjoy working just as much with people who are slightly younger or older.
