Senior Business coach

My expertise in business and executive coaching has been cultivated through a combination of comprehensive training and hands-on experience guiding entrepreneurs, executives, consultants and teams, as well as through establishing my own companies.

Trainer, facilitator

I underwent rigorous training as a ‘transformational entrepreneur facilitator’ at the University of Santa Cruz in California. This program equipped me with the skills necessary to facilitate transformative change within organisations and individuals. Additionally, I became a certified NLP (NLPU) Master trainer and coach in 1997, under the guidance of Robert Dilts, a renowned leadership developer and expert in areas such as vision, mission, strategy, entrepreneurship, and generative collaboration. Robert Dilts has been my mentor since 1997, shaping my approach to coaching and leadership development.

Leadership coach

In Silicon Valley, I further honed my skills as a certified leadership coach facilitator, collaborating with the ISVORDILTS group to deliver impactful coaching and consulting services. One of my notable projects involved overseeing the European reorganisation of PENTAX, where I played a pivotal role in enhancing organisational effectiveness and leadership development through all European offices.

Business and management book

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with entrepreneur Ben Steenstra for seven years. Together, we chronicled our journey in the book ‘IK BEN niet alleen op de wereld’ (‘Meaningful Profit’), illustrating how my coaching and facilitation contributed to the success and growth of his business. The book received acclaim, being nominated as best business book and best management book of the year.

Meaningful Profit received national acclaim, being nominated as best business book and best management book of the year.

Professor, teacher

Sharing knowledge and expertise is integral to my professional ethos. Since 2018, I’ve been teaching ‘Meaningful Profit’ at ‘The Global School for Entrepreneurship and Innovation,’ a concept co-developed by myself and Ben Steenstra. This course explores innovative entrepreneurial models designed to create both financial success and positive impact. I also teach Leadership at Nyenrode Business University.

Individual or group meetings

Business coaching under my guidance encompasses a range of formats, including individual sessions and group meetings. From leadership development initiatives to facilitating management team meetings and guiding organisational change processes.

I am committed to helping individuals and businesses realise their full potential and achieve sustainable success.

A coaching pathway

Business coaching process starts with an intake interview to determine which goals you want to achieve. Complex issues in organisations sometimes need a clear trajectory-oriented approach. I work an average of 3 to 8 times with a client. However, sometimes the process is dynamic and can take place over a longer period of time. A more intensive long-term working relationship is a possibility.
