Curiosity is the fuel for discovery,
inquiery, and learning
My background
My great passion in life is to make others thrive and get the best out of themselves. My interest in how people’s minds work and develop, resulted in my choice to study Psychology when I was 18 years old.
As a MSc in Social and Organisational Psychology I have worked with great dedication and joy in various HR (leadership) roles in multinationals in the last 20 years. Team dynamics have always had my curiosity; there can be great magic, but teams can also get completely stuck.
Coaching Accreditation
To deepen my skills, I started in 2019 an intensive coaching education, and became a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) in 2022. This means that I have been through the most rigorous and thorough coaching training available. Working on individual level with people with a wide variety of backgrounds has been a great journey with so many learnings; everyone is unique and there are so many inner resources to tap into.
To support teams in their collaboration, I have been trained as a certified Gallup Strengths Coach, and have been facilitating team workshops with a great variety of teams. Every workshop is different, has their own dynamics and their own outcome, which is often surprising!
I grew up in the Netherlands and moved with my Spanish husband to Spain in 2015. I experienced what it is like to move to a different country and build a family and new life in a different culture.
My Coaching Principles
Encouragement
Encouragement to explore, experiment and grow. Motivate to try something different or new.
Creativity
People are naturally creative, resourceful and whole. Tap into creativity and see what resources become available.
Empathy
Sense and give space to emotions, without judgment.
Getting ‘out of the head’
Focus on the whole person with the heart, thoughts, body and soul. Rather than only reasoning and thinking.
Curiosity
Awaken and challenge inner resources by approaching them with deep curiosity.
Fun
Don’t underestimate the power of fun and laughter ;)
It all starts with a cup of coffee…
Let’s meet up over a coffee (or tea ;)) in real life or virtually and connect. I’d love to hear about your background, your challenges and what I can help you with. Together, we can set up the itinerary of your personal or teams’ development journey.
I truly believe you already have the strength in you to get where you’d like to be, and I look forward to supporting you during every step of the way.
