Leadership Coaching
As a leadership coach, I help you as an inspired leader to reconnect with yourself, and from there also with your environment and your team. By leading from your inner compass, you experience more happiness and balance. You become a real growth engine for your company and your employees. By connecting with them in an authentic way, you ensure that they are committed and engaged with their heart and soul. This is more important today – in a context of remote virtual working – than ever before.
My approach is developmental and solution-oriented and based on positive psychology.
That means we are starting from your strengths and preferring to talk about opportunities rather than restrictions. But also, that I motivate you to create tangible changes which are also visible to your environment. Together we raise your self-awareness and I invite you to take ownership of your actions. This gives you more insight into patterns that can stand in your way or those that move you forward. In that way you are inspired to grow and develop yourself.
My coaching style is direct but empathetic. I love to create a safe environment, where you can be completely yourself and open to your vulnerabilities. That I occasionally hold up a mirror to increase your self-awareness goes without saying. But I also add some relativizing humor and positivity.
What if you got away from your fears and dared to go all out for your dreams?
How would it feel to dare to be yourself as a leader and as a person, and to show yourself?- To live with full desire instead of surviving? To turn off autopilot?
- What would it do to you if you had the courage not to care about who you think you should be? To be true to yourself and your own authenticity?
- What could you achieve if you didn’t keep yourself small? What if you stopped listening to your restrictive beliefs and the voice of your inner critic? What if you stopped comparing yourself to others?
- How would you feel if you relied on your inner wisdom, and detached yourself from the criticism (or confirmation) of others?
After leadership coaching, you:
Lead from your inner compass so you experience more happiness and balance- Live effortlessly and have more energy
- Are firmly rooted, even in times of change and stressful situations
- Inspire others by being authentic, confident, impactful and more visible
- Dare to call out things and at the same time listen candidly to the other
- Correctly estimate where your team is at, and how your people can grow
- Encourage your team to challenge the status quo and give their opinion
- Accept that you no longer need to know all the answers
- Trust, empower and give your team room to grow
- Accept who you are, and appreciate yourself, because you have connected with yourself
- Dare to be you, feel the energy flowing, and enjoy life to the fullest
- Connect easier with others
“If not enough people doubt you, you are not making a difference.”
Here’s how coaching works:
Step 1: Pre-intake
With you as a coachee to feel if there is a connection between us.
Step 2: Intake
With you, your manager and HR to discuss the objective.
Step 3: Feedback
Optional: I ask for feedback from the stakeholders we have identified together
Step 4: Individual coaching sessions
Where we:
- Increase your self-awareness
- Identify patterns that currently restrain you but that can help you grow by thinking and acting differently
- Integrate the changes into your professional and personal life by making it a sustainable habit
Step 5: Feedback
Optional: I ask your stakeholders for feedback about your evolution
Step 6: Summary meeting
Summary meeting with you, your manager and HR to discuss the evolution, any additional need for support and agree on your development plan
Step 7: Check-in meeting
Six months later: check-in meeting with you, your manager and HR to evaluate whether the result of your coaching is effectively integrated.
