Coaching is about unlocking your full potential

“Coaching is partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.” - International Coaching Federation (ICF)

Coaching for Expats in English or Dutch

Expat Coaching for Professionals

As an expat you have to deal with a new challenging work and personal environment. Besides the cultural work challenges you will most probably feel responsible for the wellbeing of your family and don’t want to “bother” your spouse with your concerns. Together we will explore how to energetically navigate professional and family challenges you face during your expat assignment.

Expat Coaching for Spouses

As an expat spouse you have to deal with a new challenging personal environment. Besides the cultural challenges you will most probably feel responsible for the wellbeing of your family and have to find new daily routines. Together we will explore how to energetically navigate family and existential challenges you face during your time as expat spouse.

Coaching of professionals who want to unlock their full potential

Coaching helps the good and the best get even better and works best for motivated performers who want to achieve even more. Together we will work in partnership to explore, reflect and create awareness about what inspires you and what beliefs might hold you back to operate at even higher energy levels and achieve more. By connecting your purpose to your goals you will be able to reach extraordinary and sustainable results. My role will be to help you explore what’s currently happening, uncover areas you may not yet have explored, to challenge, support, provide feedback and to help you set and achieve aspirational goals that are connected to your inner purpose.

Coaching of professionals who face energy challenges

We will explore why your energy level is not at the desired level and thereby limiting the ability to operate at your full potential. My role will be to help you explore what’s currently happening, uncover areas you may not yet have explored, to challenge, support, provide feedback and to help create awareness about what beliefs are holding you back. By creating this awareness you will be able to define goals and actions that are aligned with your purpose and therefore shift to higher energy levels.

Energy Leadership Index (ELI) assessment

You are probably familiar with personality tests like Myers Briggs, DiSC, and Enneagram, providing you with a better understanding of yourself and others. The Energy Leadership Assessment (ELI) which I offer is transformational as it is translating these abstract insights —the way you experience the world— into tangible metrics. You will gain insight in your energetic reaction in normal and stress situations, enabling you to recognize and consciously modify your response to become an even more energetic. Also, you will discover your Average Resonating Level of Energy (A.R.L.). The ELI assessment is a research-backed attitudinal assessment, created by iPEC.

Free School Energy & Wellbeing lectures

As an engaged dad and a holistic thinker I want to make an energetic, healthy and positive contribution to society by using my skills and make wellbeing knowledge easily accessible. Therefore I wrote the healthy eating guide and I teach free of charge as a guest speaker the different levels of energy, the benefits of operating at higher energy levels, as well as the underlying drivers like healthy food, movement, sleep and daily activities.
