Gerrie de Vries: "My coach helped me through the mourning phase and again to a job as a team manager."

“After 26 years of working as a team manager in disability care, I became redundant at the age of 51. A stressful situation because I did not expect the redundancy. I was allowed to choose from three agencies and chose Dynamisch Bureau. It seemed like a nice little agency to me.
When I started the process, I had entered a grieving phase and felt insecure. The organization where I had worked for so long continued with a limited group of team leaders and I was not one of them.
My coach helped me through this phase. Then we started working in a more practical way. Writing letters, getting your CV in order and practicing job interviews. I have experienced this coaching as pleasant and valuable. The support in looking for a job has given me a lot of positive things and eventually a job as a team manager again!”
