People who are in the right place tend to shine, grow and use their power to the fullest. The effect this has on their work and on those around them - that is, on the world - is something magical.
At the same time, we want to take care of ourselves, our talents and our bodies. The more consciously we take care of these, the longer and more effectively we can use them. And the more value that adds in the work we do.
I am proud of the contribution I make to this every day in my work. And happy that in this, everything I have learned comes together with who I am.Â
That is why I advise and guide 'people with impact', in reinventing their careers and themselves, so that it fits again and again.
I am a career strategist and coach, with a background as a strategy consultant and headhunter.
My clients appreciate my personal approach, structured process, in-depth analysis and concrete results. They feel they are 'in good hands' with me.
I look at the whole, am sharp but but can be mellow and combine reason with feeling. I love my craft.
Sustainable careers alternately require the right choices and successful implementation. Therefore, I offer - after a free orientation - roughly two programs:
These programs are often followed up (over time) with a less intensive form of counseling or 'maintenance.'
I work with people with impact: often experienced managers and professionals, from around the middle of their careers.
My clientele is diverse: a mix of cultures and backgrounds, from mostly local to very international, operating in a variety of industries and functions.
My clients are open and curious about themselves and about ways to continue to grow consciously. In doing so, they become 'master of their own destiny'.
As a career strategist and coach, I have focused entirely on creating sustainable careers at the top of the labor market for the past 10 years. In that period, 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.
'I am doing well, but increasingly asking myself: is this it? How to make sure I keep doing what I call work as long, as happy, as successful and as meaningful as possible?'
A program that makes you aware of your strengths and weaknesses and of what makes you happy. To help you choose what really fits you and to remain sustainably successful in your work.
A track that helps you actively manage both your short-term business success and your longer-term personal development. Especially when the pressure is highest, such as in a new job.
'How do we ensure that our most important people (continue to) thrive? By not only helping them to succeed and develop themselves, but also to take control of their careers!'
A program that makes people aware of their talents, pitfalls and passions. To help them choose what really fits them and be sustainably successful, within or outside their present organization.
A track that enables people to be successful faster and stimulates their personal development. Exactly what they need in a new role in a strategic position, where the pressure and the failure costs are high.
