I am an experienced and professionally qualified Executive and Team Coach as well as a senior boardroom advisor on the topic of Organisational and Management development. I specialise in helping senior executives like you to navigate their way successfully through the dynamics in and around the boardroom. My own international corporate experience as an HR executive board member and member of a supervisory board, gives me an in-depth understanding of the specific challenges you face, such as change and transformation, organisational dynamics and talent development. In addition, I also draw on my many years’ experience as a senior business leader to act as a sounding board for you on important issues such as (team) effectiveness and organisational development.

I have developed a unique approach to coaching that accelerates the achievement of new insights and results. With my support and guidance, you can examine new ways of increasing your personal impact, solving problems, resolving conflicts and reducing stress. As a result, you will have more impact at work, elicit more commitment and engagement from your peers and direct reports and feel more visibly acknowledged for your hard work.

Executive board teams work with me on their purpose and strategy and how to define, communicate and implement it. Once this is done, boards can start to draw up a solid strategic roadmap on a content, process and relational level, one that is well thought-out and supported by all board members, so as to facilitate smooth and committed implementation.
