Individual coaching
As a coach I will help you to find answers to questions involving your work or your personal life. The questions might relate to the way in which you work, to career development, to dealing with difficult situations, or to making choices or how to experience more pleasure in your work.
As a coach I ask stimulating and provocative questions. By confronting and mirroring I make it possible for you to find your own answers.
The instruments I use (360 degree surveys, video feedback, self tests) give you insight into the way you function. Reflection, mirroring and working in the here-and-now are key words.
The first session is always an intake (without obligation) where we decide if there is enough 'click' to work together. 3 or 4 one and a half hour sessions normally follow, after which we evaluate the process and decide what else might be necessary or helpful.
In some work-related cases it is effective to involve the manager.
In that case we start with a trilateral meeting, and may evaluate in between.
It is self-evident that I never report on a coachee without her or his consent.
I have extensive experience coaching managers and professionals in government and industry.
I am a certified coach, member of NOBCO, the Dutch Association of professional coaches. I am bound to the code of conduct and the complaint regulations prescribed by NOBCO.
Teamcoaching
For a team to be effective there has to be acknowledgement and respect for each member’s qualities. This does not develop by itself, it needs careful attention. This is particularly the case when a new team is formed, new members are added to an existing team, or when the team is challenged with a difficult task.
Acting as a team coach I can help to make patterns of communication visible and make them the subject of discussion. When all members of a team perform well individually, then the team itself performs best.
In team coaching I use different instruments, for example a questionnaire that has been developed for this specific purpose.
After an intake session with the team I make a proposal for the approach and the needed number of sessions.
Peer consultation
Professionals need to update their knowledge constantly. Reflection with other professionals is an excellent way to work on professional development. Making use of an external facilitator to support this reflection in a more methodical way is very helpful.
When working as a peer consultation coach I use different methods, e.g. 10-step method, Socratic dialogue, 'gossiping' and dominant ideas analysis.
