Facilitating personal and organizational growth by unlocking human potential
I'm convinced that every person possesses a unique gift and talents. Throughout our lives we develop various filters through which we interpret and take actions. These actions define the way we are. When we notice a gap between where we are and where we want to be AND we don't know how to get there, we are stuck.
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime"
I believe in sustainable, transformational change. Complex problems require new perspectives and a shift in the person you are. Quick "fixes" only lead to yo-yo effects and more frustration. I consider every coachee to be whole, creative and ressourceful. My goal is to empower YOU so you achieve the goals that YOU want. Helping others succeed makes me happy.
I'm a glass half full kinda guy. I've always had a strong inner drive for improvement and personal growth. Since I can think I refused to accept situations that frustrated me. "There's gotta be a way!" - I thought.
Unfortunately besides that strong drive I was also super insecure with a strong fear of uncertainty growing up. What a "great" combination! While my drive was pulling me forward my insecurities pulled me back. In other words: I was stuck. Sometimes the drive would win the upper hand and I moved forwards, slowly. More and more structure and responsibilities made me forget about my drive. It was still there but I wasn't aware. I was living in auto-pilot mode.
Fast forward many years and I found myself in a deep hole again. With Covid came a sudden interruption in my life. Business was standing still and my employer at the time sent me home for an indefinite amount of time.
This got me out of my auto-pilot - in coaching we call this a breakthrough moment. I realized that I had to find a new job, one that gave me purpose.
I had the pleasure of being coached by a master coach where I figured out what to do. I decided to become a coach to combine my drive for personal growth with my passion to help others and creating value.
