“We're in it together!”

Coach / Second track programme counselor / TMA talent professional

“Almost twenty years ago I became a widow and was left behind with my three-year-old daughter. This experience and the contact with fellow sufferers taught me a lot. My motto is: “All great changes are preceded by chaos!”. If intense things happen in your life, a beautiful change can also come from it. My personal and work experience eventually motivated me to become a professional coach. In addition to my personal experiences, I have also built up a solid theoretical knowledge. For example, I followed the training “Grief & Loss for the professional”.

In addition to grieving due to the loss of a loved one, there are more situations that cause people to grieve. For example, you can think of the loss of your job, your relationship or your health. Maybe you recognize yourself in this. Your grief may not always be clearly visible and everyone reacts differently to this loss. It is also possible that those around you do not understand you and, for example, think that it is nice not to have a job.

Within the coaching I will discuss your situation in detail and together we will work to ensure that you can take steps to move forward. Together we look at the possibilities, also off the beaten track. Together we tackle what you need.

My interest in coaching in general stems from my belief that you continue to learn and develop yourself throughout your life. When I was young, I had no idea what I wanted to be when I grew up. I ended up in the HR profession through various jobs. I have worked in various HR positions such as HR advisor and HR manager. I have worked at large corporate companies, but also within SMEs. The balance between the interests of the employee and those of the organization was the big guideline for me. This further fueled my interest in coaching.

I have been working as a certified ORSC and Co-Active coach for several years now. ORSC stands for: Organizational and Relationship System Coaching. For example, colleagues or family form a system that we can look at. With the Co-Active methodology I am trained to work with you on your personal and professional growth. The focus is on effective communication, satisfaction, balance and taking concrete steps. Within the coaching I encourage you to use your talents, make good choices and make positive changes. I do this by challenging you, asking questions and holding up a mirror.

People tell me that they feel safe with me during our conversations. They find me reliable and empathetic. My involvement, openness and sincere interest also help you to gain insights, make contact with your inner strength and achieve your personal goals.

With great enthusiasm I joined Dynamisch Bureau. Development is important within this organization and that is also what I believe in! Shall we work together on your personal development?”
