Coaching

Are you changing jobs and want to ensure you get off to a smashing start? Do you want to get more energy from your work? Do you want to figure out how to leverage your strengths more? Or perhaps you are thinking of making a big or small career change?

I am an Amsterdam based Executive / Career Coach. I support leaders as they transition into new roles, to accelerate their integration. I also support people to clarify their unique strengths and career interests, as well as to develop their people/leadership skills, to overcome imposter syndrome, and to gain more confidence at work. I believe my role as a coach is to inspire, challenge, and support you to become the best version of you. The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximise their personal and professional potential.

I am curious, compassionate, and bring a positive, growth mindset to our coaching sessions. In a safe and confidential environment, I provide one-on-one coaching to help you uncover your personal and/or professional dreams, aspirations, and goals, and what is holding you back from achieving those. I will challenge, support, and encourage you, to help you break through limiting beliefs and to create a (work) life you love.

I want you to be the best possible version of you and will support you in identifying and leveraging your strengths and to find more of what you love in your work and/or free time. Sometimes certain aspects of our work or personal life become out of balance. I can help you identify what those are and how to get re-aligned.

I can work with you to identify and leverage your unique strengths, to gain self-awareness, to achieve your development objectives, to act as a sounding board, and to unlock your full potential.

I also support people with career transition and job search. I can help you to figure out next steps in your career or even what your dream job might be, given your strengths and unique passion. I can support you to ensure you position yourself in the best possible way for your job search, to enhance your resume, cover letter, as well as with interview preparation and job search techniques.

I have a graduate certificate in Executive Coaching from Royal Roads University, and a degree in Psychology from the University of Calgary (both in Canada). I speak English and Dutch fluently. I coach in person (Amsterdam) or virtually, with a customised approach to meet your unique needs.
