I believe that when people are able to express their thoughts and feelings authentically, decision making and collaboration will be improved significantly. The many assumptions which we hold about ourselves and others give us stress and keep us away from courageous conversations, growth and innovation, both at work as well as in private life. There’s less inner and outer conflict from a place of calmness and expression. I believe that when we are able to observe ourselves and situations from a different vantage point, we will take decisions which will positively contribute to society and our planet. My source of inspiration is the work of dr. Jane Goodall OBE, whose studies showed how we as individuals can make a difference towards the conversation of our beautiful Earth. One of my favourite quotes: “You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” diffHrence stands voor the difference which every Human being can make from a place of balance and Harmony. I have held various management positions and experienced at first hand that finding such balance does not happen automatically. The pace of life keeps accelerating. It is expected that in 20 years the world will change four times faster than today. As a coach, I support board members, managers and professionals to stand firm in their shoes in these times in which we always seem to be expected to be switched on. How I work Based on my international experience and cooperation with colleagues of more than 40 nationalities, I am happy to assist in improving effective working relationships in an intercultural context. Furthermore, I coach in the areas of career, personal effectiveness, work-life balance and conflict management. I coach in both English and Dutch, via Zoom, at your office place or at an external location.
