Career coaching  may be valuable for you if you feel stuck, uncertain, overwhelmed, disconnected from your work, or ready for a meaningful change in your career or life.

Many of my clients are highly capable professionals who, despite their experience and achievements, feel unclear about their next step, struggle with confidence or visibility, experience stress or burnout, or simply know that something needs to change.

You do not need to be in a crisis to benefit from coaching. Often, coaching is most powerful for people who want to grow, gain clarity, strengthen their leadership, navigate change, improve communication, or create a career and life that feel more aligned and fulfilling.

During our work together, I provide both support and challenge. I help clients better understand themselves, recognize limiting patterns, build on their strengths, and move forward with more clarity, confidence, and direction.

I always offer 30 minutes free phone call when we discuss if the career coaching  is the best option for you.

Coaching is a process that helps you gain more clarity, confidence, self awareness, and direction in your career and life.

Through coaching, you create space to step back, reflect more deeply, understand yourself better, and move forward with more intention and confidence. Coaching helps you identify what you truly want, what may be holding you back, and how to create meaningful and sustainable change.

As a coach, I do not tell clients what decisions they should make or how they should live their lives. Instead, I guide the process through powerful questions, reflection, honest feedback, strategic thinking, and practical support.

Coaching can help you:

• gain clarity about your next career or life step
• build confidence and executive presence
• strengthen communication and leadership skills
• navigate career transitions or international careers
• improve work life balance and reduce stress
• overcome limiting beliefs, fear, or self doubt
• reconnect with your strengths, values, and potential
• create more alignment, fulfillment, and direction

My coaching approach combines psychology, neuroscience based coaching, strengths based development, practical career strategy, and deep understanding of international careers and expat life.

The goal of coaching is not only external success, but also helping you create a career and life that genuinely fit who you are.

Career coaching helps you gain clarity on what you truly want in your career and life, understand what may be holding you back, and create a concrete strategy to move forward with more confidence and direction.

Many people come to coaching feeling stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed, underchallenged, or unsure about their next step despite being highly capable professionals. Together, we work on reconnecting with your strengths, values, ambitions, and potential, while also addressing limiting patterns, fears, self doubt, overthinking, or lack of visibility.

Over the years, I have helped clients achieve tangible results such as:

• successfully changing careers or industries
• finding a new job in the Netherlands as an international professional
• achieving promotions and stepping into leadership roles
• increasing confidence and executive presence
• improving communication and stakeholder management
• negotiating better salaries or new opportunities
• rebuilding confidence after burnout, redundancy, or rejection
• starting their own business or consultancy
• improving work life balance and reducing stress
• finding more meaning, fulfillment, and alignment in their work and life

Career coaching is not only about reflection and insight. It is also about creating real movement, practical results, and sustainable change.

Through powerful conversations, strategic guidance, and deep self awareness work, I help clients better understand themselves, recognize blind spots, communicate their value more confidently, and take meaningful action toward the career and life they truly want.

Many people are confused about the differences between coaching, counseling and therapy. The table below gives a brief overview of main differences between those three.

Yes. I am a certified coach and counselor through the Dutch Academy of Psychotherapy, a Gallup Certified Strengths Coach, Brain Based Coaching certified through the NeuroLeadership Institute, a Positive Intelligence Mental Fitness Coach, and a member of the Forbes Coaches Council.

Choosing the right executive career coach is not only about certifications or experience. It is also about finding someone who truly understands your challenges, communicates in a way that resonates with you, and creates both trust and positive challenge.

A good executive career coach should help you gain clarity, confidence, strategic direction, and practical results while also supporting your personal growth and professional development.

When choosing an executive coach, it is important to look at:

• coaching experience and qualifications
• business understanding
• coaching style and approach
• international and cross cultural experience
• client testimonials and results
• whether you feel a strong personal connection and trust

Many of my clients choose to work with me because of the combination of executive coaching, career strategy, neuroscience based coaching, strengths based development, and my deep understanding of international careers and expat life in the Netherlands and abroad in general (I lived in Mexico and Brazil too).

My coaching style combines empathy, strategic thinking, honest feedback, and practical action. I create a supportive environment while also helping clients step outside their comfort zone and move toward meaningful and tangible growth.

The intake session is an important first step because it allows us to explore your goals, challenges, expectations, and whether there is a strong mutual fit to work together successfully.

Over the past 16 years, through thousands of coaching hours and working with hundreds of clients from all over the world, I have helped professionals create meaningful and tangible career and life transformations.

What makes my coaching approach unique is the combination of deep coaching expertise, international life experience, business background, neuroscience based coaching, strengths based development, and practical career strategy.

Having lived and worked internationally myself, I understand not only the strategic side of career growth and leadership, but also the emotional complexity that often comes with change, relocation, ambition, identity, confidence, and balancing different roles in life.

I am a positive and deeply caring person who genuinely wants to see my clients grow, succeed, and thrive. I become a true champion of my clients, supporting them, believing in their potential, and helping them see strengths and possibilities they sometimes no longer see in themselves.

At the same time, my coaching is not only about support and comfort. My clients often describe me as someone who creates both a strong sense of trust and a positive push forward. I combine empathy, intuition, and deep listening with honest feedback, strategic thinking, and the ability to challenge people to step outside their comfort zone and fully step into their potential.

I believe real growth happens when people feel both supported and stretched.

Over the years, I have helped clients successfully change careers and industries, achieve promotions, step into leadership roles, strengthen their executive presence and confidence, navigate international careers, rebuild after burnout or redundancy, improve communication and visibility, and create careers and lives that feel more aligned, meaningful, and sustainable.

Absolutely. Here’s a much stronger and more concrete version that better reflects the level and breadth of career transitions you actually help people with:

Do you help with career transitions and career change?

Absolutely. Career transition and career change are one of the main areas I specialize in.

Many of my clients are highly capable professionals who feel stuck, disconnected, burned out, underchallenged, or uncertain about their next step despite having successful careers on paper. Others are navigating major life or career transitions after relocation, redundancy, leadership changes, burnout, motherhood, or years of putting themselves last.

I help clients gain clarity on what they truly want next, reconnect with their strengths and values, identify new career directions, and successfully navigate both the emotional and practical side of change.

Over the years, I have supported clients with transitions such as:

• moving into leadership or executive roles
• changing industries or functions
• transitioning from corporate into entrepreneurship or consulting
• returning to work after a career break or relocation
• rebuilding confidence after burnout or redundancy
• finding a more meaningful and aligned career path
• navigating international careers and expat life
• repositioning themselves for more senior opportunities
• moving from operational roles into strategic leadership positions
• rediscovering purpose and motivation after feeling stuck for years

Career change is rarely only about updating a CV or applying for jobs. Very often, it is about identity, confidence, visibility, self trust, communication, and allowing yourself to build a career that truly fits who you are today.

My role is to help clients create clarity, strategy, confidence, and momentum so they can move forward with more direction and authenticity.

Yes, executive career coaching definitely helps with confidence and executive presence. Many highly capable professionals are technically strong but struggle with visibility, influence, confidence, or positioning themselves strategically at a more senior level.

Through executive coaching, I help clients strengthen their executive presence, communication, leadership confidence, and personal brand. Over the years, I have supported many professionals in achieving promotions, stepping into leadership positions, and being recognized more fully for the value and impact they bring.

Yes. I support clients my client with job search strategy and job interviews through:

• CV and LinkedIn optimization
• interview preparation
• networking strategy
• salary negotiations
• personal branding
• positioning for senior roles
• navigating the Dutch job market

Yes, absolutely.

Many of my clients use an outplacement coaching budget provided by their employer after redundancy, restructuring, or a mutual separation agreement.

I can support you with areas such as:

• career clarity and defining your next step
• rebuilding confidence after redundancy or burnout
• CV and LinkedIn optimization
• interview preparation and executive presence
• networking strategy
• personal branding and positioning
• job search strategy in the Dutch and international market
• leadership and executive coaching
• career transition and reinvention
• mindset and mental fitness during periods of change

I work with both international and Dutch professionals and tailor the coaching program to your specific goals, situation, and available budget.

Career coaching sessions are available online or in person at my office in Amsterdam.

The best first step is usually a free conversation where we discuss your situation, goals, and how we could structure the coaching in the most effective way for you.

Yes. I offer executive coaching, leadership coaching, workshops, career development programs, and cross cultural training for companies and international teams.

Yes, absolutely. Although I am based in Amsterdam, I work with clients from all over the world through online coaching sessions.

Over the past 16 years, I have coached hundreds of international professionals, leaders, expats, entrepreneurs, and career changers living across Europe and internationally. My clients come from countries including the USA, UK, Brazil, Mexico, Turkey, Germany, Switzerland, South Africa, China, South Korea, Poland, and many others.

Many of my clients are navigating international careers, relocation, leadership challenges, career transitions, burnout, confidence issues, or major life changes while living abroad or working in global environments.

Having lived internationally myself and experienced expat life from different perspectives, I deeply understand both the professional and personal challenges that can come with building a career abroad.

Coaching sessions are available online, making it possible to work together wherever you are in the world.

Yes. Career coaching sessions are available both online and in person at my office in Amsterdam. I work with clients across the Netherlands and internationally.

Depending on where are you located the sessions can take place virtually, in my office in Amsterdam or in case of corporate coaching at your office.

I work based on the packages of 8, 10 and 15 sessions depending on the topic.

All coaching sessions, whether online or in person, are 90 minutes long unless decided otherwise together.

You can have coaching sessions weekly, every two – three weeks or once per month. It depends on the type of question you have and urgency. However remember that coaching is the process. Most of my clients schedule sessions every two weeks.
