Marieke Stoffels

Coach / Second track programme counselor / TMA talent professional

What can you expect from me as a coach when I start guiding you? I like to listen to you without judgement, ask the right questions and use my creativity. By getting a good sense of what is going on with you, I can go through what matters to you and help you structure your thoughts and feelings. This is how valuable insights, needs and desires bubble up in you.

I like to put you in motion. Literally by having you do exercises with recognised coaching methods or by walking during our session. Or figuratively by encouraging you to look at yourself curiously and openly, which will make you move and explore possibilities that suit you. I am warm, analytical and practical; during the process, I give you practical tools and help you find tangible solutions to regain control of your working life.

The common thread in my own working life is using my creativity to improve people’s lives. To do this well, understanding people’s needs and behaviour is central for me. Through personal conversations with people from different cultures about what they need or what they are up against, you arrive at solutions that are truly relevant and add value. Having advised and coached all kinds of (international) companies and people on brand and innovation development for 25 years, I have a very broad network in marketing and communications.

At one point in my career, I adapted my behaviour too much to my work environment, losing touch with myself, my limits and my talents.
