“Every walk in nature yields more than we look for.”
Wil Vernhout
Career coach / TMA talent professional
“I grew up in a large cozy family with 12 children. Because of the many brothers and sisters I learned how to survive in a group. I had and still have a disability in my legs, which made it an extra challenge. It was often literally and figuratively “trial and error”. The family gave me every opportunity to develop into who I am today.
When I started working, it was more than 20 years as an HR advisor. In this position I spoke to several employees who were reluctant to go to work. The work no longer suited them and they found it difficult to discover what they did want. I noticed that it fascinated me to explore with them what interested them and what they were good at. When I heard that there was a course for career advisor, my choice was quickly made. Over the years I have supplemented this training as a career advisor with all kinds of courses and training, such as: solution-oriented coaching, psychodrama and stress counselling.
I like to see people enjoy going to work. That is why I would like to discover with coachees where their talents and interests lie.
My favorite workplace is outdoors in nature. If possible, I will take you to a forest or park where we can talk while walking. Fortunately, I can walk well with the handicap on my legs. We don’t have to keep looking at each other while walking and if we don’t say anything for a while, it doesn’t feel uncomfortable. Nature provides many opportunities to use as a metaphor for what is happening at that moment. All in all a very nice way of working!
Because I heard good reports about Dynamic Bureau, I chose to work for them. Dynamisch Bureau sees the person in the coachee and is genuinely involved with them.”
