The best way to describe myself, is as a coach and recruiter. Shaped by many years in labor mediation as a headhunter/executive search consultant, later supplemented with coaching (NOBCO certified life coach).
As a coach, I distinguish myself in my approach through the combination of life & career coaching. One can’t be without the other. This approach makes my coaching interesting and effective. In my sessions, I like to connect “the big stuff” with “the little things”. Doing this, I aim for insights, practical applicability, and concrete results.
As a recruiter / executive searcher, I work quickly and result-oriented. I have an extensive network of candidates and clients, and understand the art of connecting. I am honest, get to the essence quickly, and do not shy away from sensitive topics. My focus is always on the long term.
Besides this work, which I thoroughly enjoy and find incredibly fulfilling, I am married, have 3 children, 2 cats, a dog, and a horse. I enjoy exercising, including yoga and strength training, and strive to maintain a good balance between exertion and relaxation. Action packed ánd lots of downtime. I really enjoy both nature and the city. And I love to visit and spend time in my favorite places: Oostkapelle, Bosch & Duin, Rotterdam and Italy.
As a person, I am direct, to the point, I keep my commitments, and love a good dose of “Rotterdam humour”. So important! Got a bit of an image now? Oh yeah, I am… not… perfect… such a shame. And yet, I’ve truly come to terms with it. Are you still up for it?
