Partner in Personal Development at Work
Organizational growth is about knowledge, staying ahead, and keeping up—because standing still means falling behind.
There’s often time and budget for development.
But is there also real focus on depth and follow-through?
It’s not just knowledge and intention that drive progress — it’s also about how people collaborate, communicate, speak up, and work from a place of flow.
That’s where the real opportunities lie.
Sounds familiar? Think of situations like these:
- An employee who wants to get everything perfect—struggling in today’s fast-paced world.
A colleague ready for the next step, but still needing support to truly succeed.
Someone holding back a question, afraid it might be “stupid”—and missing the moment.
A rigid mindset making collaboration more difficult.
Potential you can see in someone, but that never really comes out.
Conversations where people don’t really listen—making it hard to understand the other person’s point of view.
Procrastination, sluggish communication, unseen talent, and reduced effectiveness.
This drains energy. And money.
But most of all: it costs opportunities.
From Insight to Real Change
For me, real change starts with looking at the underlying patterns and behaviors that are getting in the way. Or figuring out what someone needs to take the next step in their development.
People working from flow—you can see it, you can feel it. Everyone benefits.
Often, a training on “communication” or “working more effectively” is offered. The toolbox gets filled with models, tips, tools, and good intentions.
And then—real life kicks in. That’s when the real learning starts.
“I help professionals grow into who they are. So they can achieve more, with less effort, by being true to themselves. We work through what’s holding them back—inner critics, beliefs, patterns—and move beyond them. Not to fix someone, but to find a way of working (and living) that fits. For them. And for your organization.”
What I offer as a coach / In-house sparring partner
I provide one-on-one coaching for professionals*, and if desired, we can work together at an organizational level.
Support can start with just a few hours per week or month, in individual sessions or as a custom package. I believe in a tailored approach—always.
Think of:
Individual coaching, short-term or long-term
Helping make development plans concrete and achievable
Working together to embed or strengthen learning & development
Supporting people in applying what they’ve learned—especially when things get busy
With 16 years of experience in HR and development roles, I’ve been a sparring partner for leaders and employees alike.
I’ve guided dozens of people through in-depth processes in all kinds of situations. I’m committed and experienced when it comes to personal and professional growth.
Since early 2024, I’ve been training in the Co-Active Coaching method. By summer 2025, I’ll be certified as a CPCC and affiliated with the ICF.
