Career coach / TMA talent professional

“Lots of people get asked to make career choices in their early years. I reckon you can’t make those in your teenage years or early twenties due to the lack of experience in life. At this point a lot of wronges choices are made. Later on you’ll find yourself in a situation where you are forced to look at your career again. I think it is important that this is approached properly and that people look for what really suits them. I have been in a similar situations where I had to re-think my choices and make different decisions this time.

After my technical studies at the Hogeschool Utrecht, I ended up at an environmental consultancy firm, where I soon had nothing else to learn in the ‘technical’ field. However, I always unconsciously looked at the talents of my colleagues so that I was able to put together the right team to make a project a success. For that reason my supervisor told me I should do “something with people”. In my first coaching training I found out he was right.

With my analytical view on talents and my empathy for people, I started to focus on coaching and training employees and organizations where personal development is a challenge.
